Awesome, thanks Krieghund… while you’re here, any chance we can get a brief explanation why this and the London NO for Germany were dropped in 2nd Edition?
Thanks again.

That is not fair Noll. You know our American cousins are only just waking up.
I couldn’t face that face before breakfast! -
so where are we with the preview?
-
I don’t know Karl, but you live in his hood.
GO over to his house and make it happen!

ONE BOMBER, WHERE IS RUSSIA’S ONE BOMBER.
-
Edit: djensen, please PM me the new rulebooks so I can get on with the preview, or I’ll keep torturing this Cow! (apologies to National Lampoon)

@Cow:
ONE BOMBER, WHERE IS RUSSIA’S ONE BOMBER.
If it’s that important to you, just make it a house rule where Russia starts with one. :-P
-
I hope that in next installments of this game Larry will consider buffing both Italy and Russia, in order to make it enjoyable to play one of those two nations in a live game.
-
Buffing?
you mean include two Orbital Buffers so you can shine car?
Yea sure i guess…
Oh NM you mean more spaces between Italy and Russia. :mrgreen:
-
I’m sorry to hear you are confused IL.
I guess you don’t have alot of experience with recieving buffs?
-
No not confused, but i have my cars shined by auto detailers every week and they use orbital buffers.
-
Italy has germany to back it up, Russia is alone (takes 3 turns by the shortest route to get fighters from usa).
ONE BOMBER. JUST ONE BOMBER MAN.
-
I thought it was 4 moves
-
hollywood->Japan waters->midchina->russia.
4 if you count placement. But yeah no garauntee you got fleets parked at japan waters to shuck figs over.
-
Well it seems more likely for Washington -> Iceland -> Finland -> Moscow or if u have an AB in gib and syria.
-
When do you ever have finland?
-
Soviets take Finland often enough, if Germany goes south Barbarossa, only for a turn or two mind.
-
5 ipc value to USSR is priceless

Sorry it’s taken so long. I was working a little bit on this yesterday. The differences in the versions are slight:
- Same map, except for the production chart at the top.
- More pieces, 50+ per set.
- Some new pieces as you saw from squirecam
- Rules are at the very least the latest Alpha (I haven’t read through them and I’ll be getting help on this)
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
That’s it really.
I’ll be posting the setup and the map later today.
-
WTH?
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
I thought the setup was the same as alpha 3!
It’s NEW?
-
…
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
…
New setup for Global (other than latest Alpha) or for the theater games only?
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
