Totally agree Cow. Most games are won by axis because of how fast they can expand, as well as how many air units they have that can do SO many differen’t moves. The allies air power must all be used for defense for a long time. Eventually I think the allies would win almost every game, if it were about total world conquest, but this game is based on the VC win. This means allies don’t stand much of a chance, in my oppinion. Honestly it reminds me of an 8 VC game in Revised.

…did you happen to make a sheet of roundels for eachpower?
Quite a few people have asked for images of the roundels, unfortunately I dont have them in the proper format to make them bigger. Some look bad at full size others I forgot to save origionals ect. If your looking for roundels this try the link below. I know Imperious and others have created roundels. Just look them up over the web, or scan the actual roundels them selves.
hope this helps:

the battleboard would be nicer if there was a red silouete with all combined and tech developments.
ex: red tac bomber attacking at 4
red jetfighters atacking at 4 and so on -

both i guess

New charts will be posted when Larry’s changes are final. I suppose this means when Larry releases the changes in his official unofficial FAQ.
As far as the new changes I agree that most look quite promising. However, I am a bit concerned that the additional uk troops and government in exile rule will make sea lion too unfavorable. Either change would likely work out okay, but both looks like overkill. Sea lion has never been a guaranteed win even when successful.

The gov’t in exile rule has been removed. There were no extra UK troops anywhere.

The gov’t in exile rule has been removed.
Over all i am mostly pleased with Larry’s new Alpha+ setup changes. I hope it goes well in playtesting.

Sadly I will probably be playing the game for the first time with the newest Alpha + rules.

Why is that sad?

to bob_a_mickelson, once you have finally finished everything, is there any chance you could format the stuff to ISO paper standards, because thats kind of the world standardised sizes, and the world is a little bigger than US, no one outside of US would even know anything about local paper sizes of there

Unfortunately the charts sizes will only be available in US standards. Resizing these charts to another standard would be quite labor some and I really don’t have the time/desore to do so.
-
how long do you think it will take you after finalisation to complete the update of the charts of global and pacific and make the europe charts?
-
Thats hard to say. It all depends on my work and family obligations at the time of release. Hopefully it won’t take too long.
-
I just downloaded the charts - they look great! Fantastic job!
However, I can’t print them out… any ideas why? -
I pasted into power point and then printed.
-
Ok, thanks, I’ll give that a try…
