War at Sea - Preview Card

@Audacity:

WHY?

Ditto that question…inquiring minds want to know  :-D

I’ve been working on that for a while not; shouldn’t be too hard to mix them both in a campaign, though obviously not in the same battle - the scales are way too off. An A&AM map is nice, though really you could just use any made up one if you’re not too concerned about historical accuracy.

I’m not a huge fan of sea battles, though I don’t hate them either, but the game’s pretty decent. Unfortunately I can’t really speculate or comment too much on units until they’re officially previewed.

I’ve posted my Air Combat URRs under variant rules for those that are interested.

They make for some pretty fun games.

France fought beside the Americans and Brits for the duration of the war. I can’t see them siding with the Soviets; at least not right away (perhaps the USSR eventually wins massive swaths of Europe, forcing the French, Romanians, and Polish to fight for them). If war broke out I don’t think the UK would stay as an intermediary for very long. Once France fell to the Soviets they’d see the Red Army as a threat.

The Free West: British, Australians, Canadians, Americans, Free French (DeGaulle quotes as sighing, “Here we so again!”)

The Red Army: Soviets, French, Polish, Romanians, Conscripted Germans/Looted German tanks

One of my favorite video games has alot to do with this. Freedom Fighters assumes that the Soviets actually dropped the first atomic bomb, on Berlin. Thus began the assimilation of all of Europe. Eventually the war reaches American shores.

None of the 1939 units are all that appealing to me, just because it must be limited.  I like to go right into the heart of the conflict, and this one doesn’t measure up in a western theater scenario……although it may be interesting to use in an alternate history or other conflict scenario.

thats my point, things like that all over the place. the MG-42 should be so much more powerfull than the other MG’s. the panzer IV’s should not be able to be distroyed by a sherman head on. I could go on for awhile, but i wont, i shall spare you…

…the type 92 MG didnt appear until 42, not 39. do you really think that the Japenese had better firepower than the Germans!!! ok now i am really done, i need a nap. :x

Meh, I just made my own and stuck it into the box with the counters and such.
