Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms. Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.
A new look at the same picture.

@UN:
How many territories will French North Africa have, I wonder?
I see Morroco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
Same here…
IPC values: Algeria 2, Tunis 1, Morocco none (or 1 if Larry’s feeling generous)?
Are those guesses or do you see the ipc values?
Guesses. Though now that I think about it, I think it should just be Algeria 2, Tunis 1…
-
So we were told previously that France will have 17 IPCs to start with, so those 17 will be split between the territories. That leaves 14 IPCs after Africa, and FIC is 2, right? So 12 left between the mainland Europe French territories?

It’ll have 17 in Europe, not Global, and you forgot French West and Equatorial Africa

Greenland looks ridiculous. its too close to Canada. Its nearly so far west that i think you can draw a straight line from it to Chicago.
Just checked my Cold War Era Atlas…( :-D )
You actually can draw a straight line North from Chicago and hit Greenland.
See the British Empire map in the post above? Greenland appears so far East because of the distortion that comes from trying to make the surface of a sphere flat. In some maps, Greenland is bigger than Africa.
All global maps must distort the poles.
This map is actually the most accurate representation of Greenland’s size and location I’ve seen outside an actual globe.
-
Anything is in a straight line from anything else. The issue is Greenland directly above Chicago and the map is Mercator projection. They should have just had the tip of Greenland and maintain the spacial relationship.
-
hmmm…well,
If you draw a straight line north, you do hit Greenland, but just barely.
However, on the map, the southern tip of Greenland is north of Chicago, when it should be over Newfoundland.
That is, Greenland should be 1 sea zone over from where it is now.
So, I stand corrected, sort of.
And yes, aesthetically, it looks really dumb.
Game play wise, the way it’s positioned, I can’t see how it can play any significant role……crap, now I’m hating this map, as my denial slowly melts away…curse you WOTC, curse you.

Hmm, in this pic, Greenland looks much more well placed:

Wish they would just release the stupid game already instead of torturing us :x

Well not really. Why is so far from Iceland? Does Iceland smell that bad?

Funny to everybody that does not live on Iceland. But he may have a point, its a lot of volcanos on Iceland, and they smell sulphur. I know, since Norway was hit last time they outbursted, and the wind blowed all the sulphur smell and a cloud of volcano ashes to my home, so all our aircrafts was grounded too, man.
-
Can anyone see if Norway has a boundary with USSR; historically there should be a small strip of Finland between them.
No. The Finns lost this area (Fiskerhalvøya) in the winter war, ending in ´39.

Yea i was talking about sulphur.

Sulfur is the correct spelling, just like Aluminium is the correct spelling of Aluminum.
