@cminke:

what does the tech inproved mec inf do? how long did france last? how far did germany reach into russia?  did france ever get liberated? how many neuterls were invaded by axis/allies. how big of a problem are neutrls?   how epic was it?

and wat did you and larry talk about? how is he like?(decribe his personality.)
post pic soon will ya! :-P :lol:

also how well did italy do? what did africa look like after a game?

Imporved mech inf allows tanks to support mech inf to attack at 2. I didnt play any games where Germany made it too any of the Soviet VCs. Leningrad is really defenceable, as the Germans I mainly aimed at Moscow and Stalingrad. The UK retook normandy on its own after terrible rolls by the kriegsmarine, Germany and Italy can reinforce Paris really easily. So far only neutrals that were historically attack have been. No one has invaded or defended Crete.

Larry has a great personality although he really shoved it in my face when he took out my invasion fleet that I beleaved was destined for india. I got back at him by shooting down all his US aircraft in the pacific. He discussed the UK income division, problems with pacific, other smaller rules, general tactics. Larry is also very particular about how the peices on the board are set up. He spent about a half hour reorganizing how all the peices were stacked. Everything is stacked except navies which arnt. everything faces towards the enemy and aircraft carries are paired toghether to support two aircraft with one chip under each.

Africa and the Med are fun. Italy gets 5 ipcs for having no allied ships in the med and 5 for having southern france, greece and egypt. After four turns they can be makeing 30+ ipcs. UK can definetly put up a fight, just look at the setup. With the US involved Italy can start hurting pretty fast. Africa+Med is like half a game on its own.

Strict neutral really didnt come into play as of yet. The sea zones line up exactly so its pretty obvious when you look at the board.

France is done the first turn(+19 ipcs to germany), although with lucky rolls they can kill a good number of germans. Their ships and colonial inf can also be useful.

Did the Free French units help out the Allies in any way?

Can you list the remaining NO’s that you haven’t told us about yet?

@Emperor_Taiki:

I think we’re more interested in how they work when going east from the Pacific board over to the Europe board and vice versa.  The sea zones can’t line up perfectly there as there are only 3 sea zones on the western edge of the Europe board, while there are 4 sea zones on the eastern edge of the Pacific board, so it’s not like the sea zones in the Indian Ocean that line up perfectly, and there are no A -> A, B -> B, etc. like on the Spring 1942 board (that we can make out at least).

Thank you Emperor Taiki for taking time out to relay all this great info. it must be very exciting to be at Gen Con. :-)

[SilverAngelSurfer]

Ditto that, you know we’re all jealous.

I suppose now is the launch of the game with many photos being taken of the global game.

Units need to be orderly on the map.

[Butcher]

The most important question in my mind is how long the Russian battleship lives  :roll:

[maverick_76]

Sounds like Larry has a light case of OCD, LOL. Man this is awesome, everything sounds so cool. But yeah tell us more about the NOs, from what it sounds like the axis can really close the income gap on the allies with these things.

Not OCD, but a photo opp. Maybe many cameras from all over the country taking pics.

[maverick_76]

I’m just kidding, I’m anal retentive about the way the units are placed too.

[BadSpeller]

I have been guilty too.

This might be a dumb question but can China get techs? While they can’t benefit from all of them, War Bonds, Long-Range (for the Flying Tigers), and the one which lets artillery support 2 infantry could all be really useful for China.

I know this is off you memory, but why do Germany get one for controlling Denmark and Norway, and not attacking a neutral

Also why does the UK have one that talks about ANZAC?
