Using Pacific/Europe Pieces with original board.

@all-encompassing-goose

I hope so. Can’t wait to see what people will say!

@the-janus said in Classic game using d10 dice:

Attack 2: inf, CV (increase of 1 for both)
Attack 4: sub
Attack 5: arm, ftr
Attack 7: bmb, BB

Defend 2: bmb, trn (increase of 1 for both)
Defend 3: inf, sub
Defend 5: arm, CV (increase of 1 for both)
Defend 7: ftr, BB

Looking at this, I actually have half a mind to just go with 2/4/6/8 for attack and 1/3/5/7 for defense.

I think this a great idea-I just think it’s too complicated. Make it so the Bulgarian infantry can only move in three territories: Bulgaria, Greece, and Yugoslavia.

I have been reading about your house rules, and you should put them into one giant rulebook like The Captain. Keep up the good work!

I think its worth it, just for the warhawks hehe. Though I agree that the game would have been a much better investment (and a better play too) if it had included a unique artillery sculpt. The OOB 1941 game benefits immeasurably from the inclusion of artillery in the roster. I use 1942.2 art sculpts when I play it.

Depends where you buy the game, but if you can pick up two copies and ship them at the same time, you get a decent number of fighters and tanks. You’re still left holding the bag on Italy, Anzac etc unfortunately.

Revised has some nice colored units for UK and Germany, with lime greens and grays. I still like the mini stukas. The limes for China and the Grays for Vichy or Romania can be cool, you could probably get some mileage out of them.

I wish HBG made a few more pieces to supplement the older boxed materials in similar sculpt colors. But you can still find some decent stuff there, might be cheaper. I like 1941 though. Its map is a crazy shuck-fest. Sucks to buy 2 or more copies just to get sculpts, since then you have another map you don’t need, but hey at least you can snap up a couple extra roundels in the process  :-D

I’m still surprised that A&A doesn’t put out supplemental materials for the regular boardgames. They did it for the miniatures game with the larger sculpts, but not the boardgame, and the boardgame is the only one I play! I like my sculpts tiny and matching the official materials when possible. ;)

Questions always come up about Mongolia in Global and the technicalities involved (who attacks/moves where, etc). To make life easier, I propose making Mongolian TTs pro-Russian neutrals that can be activated by Russia one TT at a time in the NCM phase. This will be considered an act of war against Japan.

Japan in turn can invade any Mongolian TT if it pleases, constituting an act of war against Russia. The remaining Mongolian TTs will stay pro-Russian neutral and not immediately activate.

I find the current rules overly complicated and not necessarily historical: Mongolia was a client state of the USSR and could easily be persuaded to join the war effort against Japan, and did so in 1945.

@knp7765:

My only complaint would be that your air bases have a jet plane symbol, but I could still live with that.

From what I can see, it’s not actually a jet but rather a picture of a bomber showing the fuselage and wings but not the engines.

Thanks for the support, but who are we kiding? they’re comercial jets.

Yeees, Razor like. Butt iff WOTC did business that way, the stock holders will be poor. With lack of Tacs and Mechs we all need to purchase two copies each, and this will make mr. Leeds a very happy man.

I dont like regular subrules. Isay the blinded way is better(you write down where you moved your sub on each turn) this is better because you are undetected until a destroyer moves into your same seazone or you surface for air or battle. :)
