Agreed. Or at least just Sicily (to show that Sardinia wasn’t necessary). I would like a more general bonus that increases the value of the other Mediterean islands, kind of like what the Balanced Mod 3 version does.
Card industrial complexes
-
I know im not alone in my hatred for the card counters,i was thinking of a way to not use them in the game,i have 60 plastic factory pieces from my old aa games,i came up with the idea of glueing 2 plastic complexes side by side to use as a major and the normal plastic one as a minor.Has any one got a better idea than this,and a good idea for replacing the card naval and air bases?
-
we use the white complexes from the original game for the major and the grey ones from revised as the minors.
Glueing seems like a waste you could just stack 2 complexes together if you don’t have the white ones. The roofs lock into place pretty nicely. -
Glueing them seems unnecessary, I would just place two in a space for a major, side by side.
-
place them side by side. So you can upgrade or downgrade quickly as needed.

The revised edition of Risk has some nice grey plastic pieces that could serve as large industrial complexes:

I read somewhere on this forum ethier FMG or TABLE TATICS are going to put out airbases and naval base pieces, i just cant remember which one.
-
I have been using the major ICs from The War Game:World War II. They are a little larger than the AA ICs. I purchased that game used on E-Bay, kept a few pieces and then sold the rest in small lots.

FMG is making a miscelaneous pieces set that will include airbase, naval base, major and minor IC, and AA gun pieces. Of course, you’ll have to wait until they get that actually produced.

The Superpowers Game has some slightly larger single stack buildings that I will be using. You can buy all the pieces for $10 from his site.

I bought just the pieces and he sent me the whole game. +1 for this guy.

I bought the Hasbro cities for $2.50. They came with a bunch of little blue arrows that I use as the Naval bases. They stand out better then the little punch out from AAP40 and the arrow gives the impression of extra move IMO. I ordered a black army (little black arrows I’m assuming) set from Hasbro to have as Air bases. $2.50 again plus extra dice. Can’t beat that. You can never have enough dice. But I use my FMG combat dice and wooden dice tower. Love them and can’t wait for the new French and ANZAC dice!
-
How about link for the Hasbro cities? ;-)
-
Here is the link to the order form. I bought the blue army with 15 cities and the black army with dice.

Can you post the link to the pieces as well? I want to see what they look like .
Thanks,

Actually they are slightly smaller than the AA factories. Plus the single stack would be a dead give away for Minor and double for Major factories.

I’m terribly sorry. I do not have that link. I ordered them based on a photo I saw on this site somewhere. I can’t find the thread it was in. Maybe someone else will remember and can you you to it.
-
No problem. I’ll find them. Thanks for the order page.
-
You can see them in the link I posted yesterday:

When the order form refers to “15 Grey Cities” it means the grey pieces which I suggested would make good industrial complexes.
When the order form refers to colour-coded “Capitals” it means the round pieces with a star in the middle.
-
white factory vs grey factory to distinguish 10 or a 3. or
use a label maker and place a 3 on them.

This rocks.
