If you look close enough on map (just click on map to inlarge) you will see color dots that represent my 3 Island group NOs. This promotes more island action and Japan on turn 1 can go get most islands they took in dec41 Jan feb 42. Also added Aleutian Islands to a group so japan can land ground there to gain a NO like when they did have 3000 Jap ground there when they split there fleet before midway battle. Japan can also get Midway turn 1 and Wake to get 2 more NOs. We’ve been playing the island groups for quite awhile now. I also added the Philliphines as a 3 Island group. White dots with Guam I just added to map.
Japan in this game Cannot take naps. Turn 1 they have like 10 options and has to decide which ones they gonna do.I also added another 3 Island group in Med. and changed around the islands. So not going to printers yet. Also added a Japan convoy box by Carolinas for them sending resources to there and to New Britain.

Here’s a game at end of turn 4. US is doing the Island Campaign by recapuring the islands that Japan had control of and getting 4 3 Island Group Bonus worth 5 icps each. But they just moved a fleet from home with fast carriers ( NA) and M4 Cruisers ( Move 3 ) with NB. Japans goal is Dutch oil for extra money. Is it to late for the allies ?
Germany just going after the 2 city’s in Russia and as of now are up to 28 points. Next turn they could try for Stalingrad and get to 30 but won’t hold out for win for now. We are still playing on old map.
Anzac has a 3 island group bonus to. That would be the green dot islands.So there is more Island group bonues on new map and an extra one in the Med. Just look at new map above and color dots show you the groups.

Ok. More update tweaks to map. Added sea zones to the north.
Couple new convoy boxes based on if Japan goes to war with USSR can cut off supplies from Alaska more or less food and supplies. Other USSR convoy box is if you Hit box you cut off LL pieces that can go there and 3 dam is for food and supplies. The Germans did sink supply ships by Novaga Island. This gives the Axis a 3 spot attack to stop all Lend Lease.
But Russian pilots can land any plane from LL in Krasnoyarsk from Alaska Siberian route.
Also the 1 USSR Destroyer off coast of outer Manchuria can 1 time in game go west through the Northern route and hookup with the USSR Northern fleet in Archangel only in non winter turns. But then he may stay there for a Japan assault landing with a Russian fig from LL Krasnoyarsk if it don’t go to the Eastern front. -

Couple of turns on new map changes
Didn’t have time to fine tune cameras yet -
Here’s a couple of close up picks. As usual the wolf packs doing there job while operation torch happens with the US Ranger AC.
In the pacific Japan is going to get Calcutta but left most islands undefended. Anzac jump on a few and US got some more islands. That’s 1 island group N O bonus for Anzac for 5 icps and US has 6 N O bonuses for 30 icps. Plus Japan has oil damage on Sumatra that is 5 dam towards income and lost 3 money islands with oil. They are only making 47 icps. While US is at 107. Japan can never afford to not defend there oil supply plus there’s bonus victory points for axis there.
Also his planes are out of position to hit US fleet based on he needs them to help take Calcutta. But that’s the idea in game is to force Japan to use there planes in more than 1 spot.
He’ll probably run ground for Calcutta and has to regroup naval in a bigger fleet. Will see.Anyway the map sea zone changes are starting to look like there going to work out good.

You mean now and not 1941 ? LOL buddy be pretty old.

Even if he was on the latest USS Ranger, he’s no spring chicken: USS Ranger CV-61 decommissioned in '93. Assuming he had the job in '93 and was 30 at the time, that would make him 57 today.
If he was on the WW2 USS Ranger, he’s old enough to be dead: USS Ranger CV-4 decommissioned in '46. We’ll say that (almost) everybody in the Navy was young, so let’s use 25 as his age. If he was 25 in '46, that would make him 99 years young.

Heh heh yea tried to make two posts in one. Was commenting on all the dudes in Hawaii on the Generals map.
My buddy is in his early 60’s. I think he said Ranger was the last WWII carrier active when he was on it. Probably late 70s early 80s
