Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@coachofmany:

What about Germany utilizing 3 million horses after their huge losses on the Russian front?

they were used for logistics, and their are no logistical units in A&A, almost none of those horses were used in cavalry units.

But I do argee that it would be cool to have circa 1900-1940  cavalry peices, if not for A&A, for varints of it or other games.

Cavalry could be 1-2-2-4 and could blitz.

@Brain:

Cavalry could be 1-2-2-4 and could blitz.

…and could be used in IL’s Great War variant!  8-)

Yes, it may already be there , I have downloaded the game but not played.

Tell us when you find out.

@Brain:

Cavalry could be 1-2-2-4 and could blitz.

thats the same as mech inf, more like 1-1-2-3

Okay so what you are saying is:

Cavalry 1-1-2-3 with blitz ability
Mech Inf 1-2-2-4 with blitz ability

yes, if you really want to play with a cavalry piece in World War 2

Only if we had a game that started in 1939.

@Brain:

Yah, but 1939 is a boring start date.

I have been saying a 1940 start date is ideal for a game like A&A  for about eight months now, so if these new ones are any good(they will be) I will be getting my wish.

What is the start date going to be?

I truly am brain damaged the games are called Pacific and Europe 1940 and I am asking what is the start date going to be. Must remember to engage brain before engaging mouth or in this case fingers on the keyboard.

What is the start date going to be?

AAE40 begins shortly after Dunkirk, Germany.   AAP40 will also begin at around that same period (19 months before Pearl Harbor)

All righty then, there will be no need for cavalry in this game, we will have to save those for the WWI game, although I would have loved to see Germany invading Poland in the game. I want a game that covers the entire war.

not if you are the axis and like seeing things blow up with little chance of retaliation!

mighta been interesting for Poland to start and be controlled by the UK player, or the French player, since they were together as allies to start.  Then Germany would have more to worry about on both fronts than just USSR and FRE… who knows…

I hate to admit it but I am just that type of person.

@LuckyDay:

But the whole turn would consist of invading one territory, that sounds pretty boring to me

You dont have to follow Hitlers battleplan, we all know what kind of general he was.

naaah, you’ve got poland, france, denmark, norway, netherlands (belgium, holland, luxembourg), all occurred before Dunkirk, plus maybe you could hit east poland or finland before the USSR.  could even hit stuff with Italy/Japan earlier too… sky’s the limit!

You’re starting to drift a little here.  Lets stay focused on the game pieces.
