Quality of the units

I WISH! Most likely not.

@joeyskywalker:

I need image files so I can photoshop them. But thanks for the PDFs :)

Hope this isn’t grave digging…

Just a quick tip to anybody on this:  Download the PDF, then right click and do 'Open With…" Photoshop.  It will open and be editable.

That’s how I’m using IL’s map.

Also, I do a lot of graphic design… and you’d be surprised at how many people won’t or don’t understand to give you original PS or Illustrator files, but will send you PDFs.  Nice thing is, you can choose the DPI/PPI and color rendering (CMYK or RGB, etc.) that it opens with.

Also…
All units are expendable, if the expenditure accomplishes something. Most units will be expended, but the challenge is to have them go in a way that they gave their money’s worth. Another important aspect of the game, which should be apparrent to a veteran player, or one with intelligence, is shielding of units. Some units (the more expensive ones) need to be protected by the less expensive ones. Infantry need to take hits for tanks, Destroyers and Cruisers should take hits for carriers… etc. Being able to scrape your expensive and better units out of a fight is essential for continuing operations and saving money. Make your enemy bleed more than you do.

I was wondering if anyone could post the starting setup for each of the countries in the anniversary edition?  It’d be really nice if there was a good copy of the originals that I could print out as cards like in the game itself.

I only have the original version and would like ot try the anniversary with ILs enlarged map.

THanks

I almost always buy a bomber a round for Germany starting turn 2.  They are great for threatening Moscow, even when in Germany, threatening allied fleets, and if they got nothing else to do I do enjoy bombing Brittan.

Its the allies I hate buying them for, even though they are still incredibly useful, every bomber UK buys is one less cruiser or transport.  You must be very careful not to ‘overbuy’ bombers as the allies.

@a44bigdog:

I could see a problem with this on the board as we have two set ups for the game. Besides does it take that long to learn the set ups? I never look at the cards anymore when I resent my revised board.

You have a good point there, Bigdog.  Having the map preprinted with setups when you have two different set ups could lead to some confusion.

Submarine: Can only be shot if there is a destroyer present in opposing fleet

Subs can only be hit by planes if there is a friendly destroyer in the battle.  Ships can hit subs anytime.

Really!?  I didn’t realize that.  So not even a DD can hit a sub??

You should read what you quoted again.

WOW!!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
I can’t tell you how many times I read that line and what my eyes kept seeing was “ships can’t hit subs anymore”
HAHAHA… oops.
