same ! but i have learned to except that every one is…cool

Is this English??

No it’s cminke language

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.

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.

Where is the source of this post?

@Dylan:

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

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.

Thanks Yope

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:)

[Upside-down_Turtle]

Maybe they have a reverse bid.  The suckiest players play Axis.  :lol:

@calvinhobbesliker:

Maybe because not everyone does a J1 attack.  :roll:

In Global only lunatics will do a J1 attack……

[Krupp Steel]

Sounds like a really fun game Larry was playing, like Spacey said not everyone does the ol’J1 D.O.W. I personally dont, makes the game more unpredictable.  :-o

[oztea]

The other NO like the German “3 IPCs if German units are in Egypt” is……

6 IPCs per turn for each originaly German territory controled by Russia
Avalable is…Norway, Denmark, Belgum/Holland, West Germany, East Germany, Bavaria, Austria/Czechoslovakia, West Poland, Hungary, Romania.

[maverick_76]

That is awesome! I was hoping that the Russians would be that way. In reality they had more troops, wayyyy more troops than the Germans did but idiotic strats by Stalin left them hung out to dry. Good to hear that this won’t be another AA Europe, where Germany can own Russia before the US can even try to help. From the sound of things the game just sounds awesome! I can’t wait!
