Minor roundels

Here is the Dark Grey Minor Set with a Panzer III of each color in front.

So I’ve been reading on Wikipedia about the Minor nations involved in WW2. I mean we all know that just about every nation in the world sided with the Allies by the end of the war so I don’t really like reading about them. However I find the Axis cooperators facsinating.

So from reading about them I decided to add them to the game as a house rule. They include Finnland and the Minor Axis (Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria) for Germany and Manchukuo (yes it was a puppet state but it did have it’s own military) and Siam for Japan. Now these provide a boost to the Axis so only use them if they need a handicap or if you find a way to add some bonuses to the Allies.

I won’t post the rules yet because I’m not finished with them but give me your opinion. Also this will not effect the Major Axis income or troops placement. Also each nation will have two NOs and two NAs. Plus I will make rules for the Dutch Forces too and MAYBE the Communist Chinese for the Allies.

If you want to help with the project I am going to need some help. Go to my topic titled Minor Nations.

Go to historicalboardgaming.com, he has alot of roundels to choose from.

You need to do the Axis Italian fasces symbol

Canada maple is post war

Dutch roundel was an orange triangle from 1940

Hungarian cross should be a square

Chinese star should be yellow

Full roster of WWII roundels are featured on my WIP card designs:

I just did that for Flashman, because he feels their is some 'historically accurate roundel to convey territory control" and there is not. There is no correct roundel in terms of accuracy because simply air force roundels were not used on army maps to indicate where a nations control is over parts of the globe. Air force roundels were only used on the wings and fuselage of planes.

So the interpretation of these items can be anything. The only accurate interpretation of a control marker would be the national flag.

It has little to do with all these various interpretations of which air force roundel is better than or more accurate than another one. To reality they are all equal. My post was to demonstrate the ‘mystique’ around such items is an illusion.

Dude, just click the link they work fine.

Well i choose another way to make my map.

I bought a world map (4 x 6). -$30.00-

I repainted the territories with oil paint except the ocean ( Because the ocean has the proper blue color) -$10 for the oil paint-
Than I recovered the whole map with a clear self-adhesive vinyl to protect the map and bingo!

AL.

At least Avalon Hill releases Diplomacy.
