I’m going to love that soviet bb … I wonder if a soviet Baltic AC is going to be a viable option  :-D Or even Baltic subs!  :lol:

Nope, he’s not playing Those That Received Useless Roundels: he saw finals of World Soccer Cup and he made a last minute rule to play as Spain  8-)

Damn it I have nothing to make fun of Spanish people, for (not including Mexicans.)

Anyways soccer/football is the most over rated sport.

Anyways is he saying Egypt’s 3 IPC’S because if Italy does ever capture it they could put a major IC there.

First off, their game sounds really neat and I’d love to watch! :-D  Sounds like Russia is a real challenge, and that Japan has been poorly played.

Now the possible downsides to the Europe version:

• the UK seems weak in Africa and at sea - just as I feared. After 8 turns they have not stabilised Africa or got more fleet together than 1 carrier and a cruiser???!!!

• the Italians seem a little…er…uber strong?  I really can’t see how a country that should be earning about 6 IPCs per turn can hold off the UK and US in the Med.

Eargerly awaiting more playtesting updates from Larry though  8-)

Larry said that the Germans were doing a good job of keeping the RN at bay, so dont worry too much. And he said that the Italians owned a good chunk of Africa, plus they were sending units through Iran! Thats pretty clear to me that they have just been played well. Also he said there was going to be a showdown soon in North Africa…

Germans in North Africa. I like it. I was worried that the game would exclude any reason for Germany to go there.

[brettstarr4]

Sounds like Algeria or whatever territory is farthest west in Africa is still only 2 spaces away from Eastern US.  I was thinking there might be a third sea zone in there which would require another set of transports.

Don’t forget that with naval bases giving units an extra move that territory could be 3 spaces away.

[fanofbond]

Larry mentioned a gribralter naval base.

I don’t think he’s saying Egypt itself is worth 3 IPCs, he’s saying Germany gets a 3 IPC per turn NO when they have a German unit in that territory, kinda like the ANZAC one-hit NO except apparently this one is every turn.

[johnnymarr]

Thanks Yope

[Veqryn]

USA is mostly going anti-Japan,
and the UK still doesn’t have a decent fleet put together,
the Italians have most of africa
this means germany has basically been 100% free against the USSR

sounds like the axis player sucks

could this be the reason all of LH’s games lately have been weighted towards the axis?

Isn’t there something like that, if Germany have all Russian territories.

Finally, Russia’s navy can do something offensive(unless it gets killed, like the BB in Z37)
Will there be a Black Sea fleet?

I’d really like to know how Java was held after turn 3

because whoever is playing Japan is a dunce, or has had the worst rolls in history! (been there :evil:)
