Are the Italians for the 1st edition the same color as the 2nd edition?

@cds

Thank you! Seems like G2 is better than G3.

How nice. They look very straightforwardly, I guess they are great help to make the game run more streamlined.

@Spendo02:

Q. What happens if Japan attacks a Mongolian territory in the same turn that it attacks a Soviet- controlled territory that is adjacent to a Mongolian territory?
A. All of the other strict neutral territories will immediately become pro-Allies, and all of the Mongolian territories that are not captured by Japan will become controlled by the Soviet Union at the end of Japan�s Conduct Combat phase.

All of the strict neutrals on the Pacific map, or all of them on the Global board?

all on the global board.

I like buying a carrier first round with Germany. If UK builds a factory in cairo then he also has to kill the fleet in 97. If he does both of these then London is very light and I would probably build 9 transports with Germany to take UK. Once Uk is gone on T3, which is almost a 100% if UK attacked 97, 96, and bought the IC first turn, then Italy is free to take Cairo and get the IC in Egypt. Italy for the rest of the game would be making 30+. All you have to do is make sure you leave enough Units on Uk that US can’t liberate. Yes, Russia will be making a lot of money at this point, but only for a turn or two. Then you get her back down into the 35 range. Italy will soon be pressuring russia the Caucus region, and US won’t have many places that he can go besides norway. I think if Germany builds navy it is safer to wait till R2 to build the factory in Egypt. I also build a factory in persia R2 with UK. Use transport off egypt to pick man up and take persia R1.

Don’t abandon Egypt. Build a factory T2 there. you can hold this pretty easy if played right. Of course this all depends on whether or not Germany builds a lot of transports on T2. Also if Germany doesn’t build a carrier and 2 transports attack SZ97. If he does it might be best to retreat the med

Ya. I used for extra pieces. They may only be the 5 main but id rather buy 2 42 copies than 4 1940 2 pacific 2 europe. Also i wanted the ICs and AA guns mainly. I use 42 to introduce friends.

I have heard blue but I have not heard the shade.
