I only recently got the game, sounds like an interesting experience. Although, there is never force advantage for the air battle stage therefore air units may always be hit fighters with 3-4 and bombers with 2-3 still crazy odds but I found with enough dice in a battle they seem to die in large numbers most battles with large amounts of dice just ends with both sides losing everything.
WAR ROOM by Larry Harris

Hey everyone,
The creator of Axis & Allies Larry Harris Jr. has been designing a new WW2 strategy board game for the past 4 years, and he is almost ready to launch an ambitious kickstarter campaign to get it into our own war rooms. I have stickied this thread which will act as a conversation forum for WAR ROOM… a game by our favourite game designer, it will be published by Nightingale games, and available to back this fall 2017.

Concern:
USA sends units to Moscow via Trans-Siberia railway.
To counter, Japan occupies Soviet Far East, violating treaty and forfeiting 5 morale.
Thus, treaty is worthless unless US/UK units not permitted in Russian tt.

Can’t the Japanese navy block that?

This is a recent read on the game. Found it to be pretty good.

This game looks amazing from all the component and game play videos I have seen. :) Is anyone else going to be backing the Kickstarter campaign? Please do! It has already nearly achieved all of its stretch goals! :lol:

Successful Kickstarter campaigns will produce many copies and not just the ones they promised the backers… no fear, if you truly want one, they will be available after the Kickstarter backers get theirs.

There is a possible, limited time option. Over on BGG, someone is trying to “sell” their backing of War Room - You give them money, they change the shipping address to yours. Whether or not this is advisable, or even viable, is not something I’m going to get into. But if you feel like rolling the dice, you can find the relevant thread here:

many thx for the encouraging replies.
As for BGG, I like the site, but I wont do that. I trust YG has it right and there will be a copy available, maybe even the one I would have paid for.

Nightingale Games has said that they hope to have copies on their on-line store(possibly launching as early as spring 2018), but quantity, quality, and price may vary from the KS campaign version.
Keep an eye on their KS campaign page, Nightingale Games website and facebook page!
Their will be options,
