Started to paint some troops….

@ghr2:

You should definitely get some sort of protective layer for that map.

I’m going to at some point. Until, I get a permanent place to play, it is rolled up in a cylinder tube. I’m going to have a man cave built, and then I will work on things like that. I’m going to have to either buy or have someone build me a table to fit the map. This is the plan, anyway. :-)

@Riles:

I believe I am using Spring 1942. Good question haha

There’s an FFA (Free For All) version of Revised/Spring 42 available on TripleA. It adds China to the 5 starting powers and each power has a defined setup at the beginning.
And there’s also another version called Battleship Row, IIRC, where the start positions are at Western Indies, UK, Madagascar and Japan.

You can either give players a full or limited set up at the beginning or just give each one a set amount of money before game starts. If the units are predetermined it speeds up the beginning, otherwise everyone will have to think a bit.
The decision to divide the territories between powers before game starts is new to me and interesting. Usually how I play is that start only with your capitol and have to conquer everything else (which is neutral and has usually 1 inf on it).
Victory is usually until there’s a clear winner.

Yeah but i dont have a good cam.

I spray mine with a white primer, then a white paint. I then use a finish to protect the paint.
Make sure you turn the piece white with the primer, the paint dos not cover as well as primer.

Anyone want to be part of the first ever online league for the axis and allies variant game called superpowers?

Games are played online. Season will be 12 weeks long plus play-offs. You will be emailed when its your turn to act. players do not have to be online at the same time. This is going to be great!

Fishing line sinker, how clever!!

I try to implement a scale when it comes to Russia and the US.  Russia whenever it takes occupied nations back from the Germans can either add it to her territory and recieve IPs for it or she can liberate it without gaining any IPs.  The more territories she takes for her own the closer she goes to war with the US and Britian.  Eventually aid is suspended and after a while war is declared.  After that my friends and I have many rules about what happens afterward.  Also the scale to which these consequences occur varies, but it works.
