WW2 Path to Victory - Feedback Thread

@SS-GEN
I mentionned the OOB ways in beginning of my last post.

I created this old file a few years back for the classic 1977 AH classic.

I bought entire fleets in 1/6000 scale and had them professionally painted and mounted on counters. I have the files for this.

Also wanted to rework the totally ignored situation in China and added a few more bases. I have the files for this too ( not finished)

I will take pictures of a gaming session and post latter.

This game is not far from Axis and Allies ( 6 are hits, then re-roll for damage points)

Here is a look at the map ( almost done)

For naval and air bases I use old (1976?) Avalon Hill Diplomacy pieces.
You can find them used online, sometimes in decent numbers.

For the naval base I use the anchor (Diplomacy navy), stood upright.
For the air base I use the star (Diplomacy army), stood upright.

I’ll get around to painting them all eventually, but in the meantime, they work nicely.

@wittmann:

Knp: I agree.

Ditto here!  I hope this really can be a fresh start this year for FMG, for sure, and I too wish I had a boatload of money I could invest.  I did make a modest little order to show my support, though, and to express tangibly that “no hard feelings” on my part.  Just remember, we can forgive a lot, but if you don’t tell us what’s going on for months at a time, we don’t know if we should even risk making orders for “in stock” items, as we might fear the company’s going out of business and can’t fulfill them.  So please, please keep us posted… And just as important, is not more so, keep in touch with Coach!  And please coordinate with him more closely in the future when you’re ready to roll out more new products… (…last I checked we were headed for a situation where we were going to have 3 different companies doing a Tiger I and none doing a Panzer IV, for instance…)

Great thought! I will play test!

Just had another thought, if you wanted to eliminate dice, you could setup a rock/paper/scissors type game using those Units

Infantry defeat fighters/tanks, lose to artillery/bombers
Tanks defeat artillery, or other tanks
Fighters defeat bombers/tanks but lose to infantry/artillery (imbedded aa guns)

That type of concept anyways.  It would take some thinking through , more than this post from my cellphone haha but would be possible!

@Toonster:

The rules for World at War says the following about an Axis IPC win:

“Germany and Japan win whenever their combined IPC total is 20 IPCs higher than all of the Allies combined.”

Does this mean directly after Japan has finished his turn, implying Russia and US cannot fight back?

Toonster

I assume (as in orig. A&A), that the Axis must maintain the IPC total at the end on one complete round of play (meaning every player has had a turn).
