Cool! I can’t wait! Keep going!

@SuperbattleshipYamato I fixed it now! :) Should be good to go!

I played my first game of Amerika last night. It was pretty easy to learn once I was finally able to remember which sculpts were the self propelled anti-aircraft units and and which ones were the self propelled artillery units. It took awhile to play because I was carefully going through every step and double checking to make sure I didn’t develop any bad habits as far as the rules go. I can see being able to play a game in under 2 hours including setup if you had 2 or 3 players who already knew how to play. That would be perfect for the lake in the summer when you go into the cabin to wait out a rainstorm. A&A on the other hand would be more of a whole day this is never going to clear up type of game.

It’s a good game and very well made. I picked up the Strategic Markers expansion set with the game but didn’t use any of the extra rules that come with the pieces so I could learn the game first and decide which rules and extra pieces would be appropriate to make it a better game. I did find the map a little small so I am going to get a bigger one for use at home on the big table. I like lots of elbow room and space to line up my tanks without using chips. In the game the Japanese got bogged down in the northwest with the allies holding the line at Hanford Nuclear Research Facility. They had better luck in the south moving inland and taking out Los Alamos NRF. The Germans made it as far as Detroit in the north and Nashville in the south but couldn’t capture Oak Ridge NRF. On the fifth turn the allies were lucky enough to roll big and go first, which meant that they had 2 turns in a row and were able to take back Los Alamos and 3 cities and accumulating enough points to win the game. If the axis would’ve went first on the fifth turn it would have been a different outcome and they might have won on the fifth or sixth turn. It all came down to that one roll…

i voted Kursk, but stalingrad, north africa and Market Garden would be cool either

Fortress America was broken. Did they fix it?

Anyone interested in being a part owner of a new board game company? I have produced a new board game that is basically a modern day axis & allies type game with serveral improvements and new pieces. Game is fully produced and in a few stores now.

Looking for people who are good with games to help run the business and promote the game, plus work out improvements for the next edition. Right now this is just a 1-man show, but i think this game has the potential to be even bigger than A&A.

The company is Superpower Games, LLC and the game is Superpowers. There is no cost in becoming an owner other than agreeing to help promote the game plus get 18 copies at the ultra low price of just $10/game to then resell at a profit for yourself.

This map could be managed to allow an Axis & Allies game:

The original game is Moscow Attacked! Its a free game.

Remember i have also seen the pieces trhat go with the game. The first print is 2,000 copies at 100 bucks each. If he sells out he will immediatly issue a second printing all with nation specific units. That is the plan… to reinvest the money into another print but with expanded units. Everybody please buy a copy. The game is great and worth every penny.
