Things you can do in a seven player game if you get shafted being China

Oh, I understand now. They couldn’t have even made the combat move. D’oh.

Since there was no sea battle in sea zone 12 and the destroyer did not participate in the amphibious assault, it did not participate in combat and is therefore free to move in noncombat movement.

@dondoolee:

-Think I am getting off easy because you “only” role 2 dice for heavy bombers

-Am still filled with wonder by transporting an infantry unit AND ANYTHING ELSE I WANT!

-Still think it is a bit rude and unsportsmanlike to attack Germany with Russia on R1.

Hehe - what a great post.  Yes, I’ve played enough Revised (about 70 games on GTO) and Anniversary that I think all of the Classic stuff is actually expelled from my system.  However, the ones I quoted still resonate with me.  Although with Germany right on the doorstep, it doesn’t seem rude or unsportsmanlike to attack Germany on R1 (which was crippling in Classic, as you imply)  In Classic you had the Caucasus buffer zone.
I’ve got some new ones to add.
-  I still have urges to attack subs with planes for the free shots.

-  Still cringe at attacking transports with planes because I might lose my planes and still not hit the transports (actually, I got used to the Anny rule very quickly)

-  Still have the urge to attack Russia with Germany with all available personnel every turn, especially turn 1, to get that all important Karelia factory!

Ice cold in alex…

my best bet would have beeen amazon anyway ;)

Why do I not enjoy ?  :oops:

@captainjack:

Could you take a picture of the IPC’s - I’ve heard they look cool.

I’ve uploaded one to BoardGameGeek.

@Richter:

Don’t ask for the cost… :D

Its a collectible minis game after all, but I already have loads of basic infantyr

50+ Mosin Nagants (Russian Soldier)
30+ Arisakas (Japanese Soldiers), MAuser Rifle, SMLE Rifle, M1 Garand Rifle, 20+ Fucile (Italian Soldiers)

Subs are cheap (though no russians so far)

Destroyers are also under a $ per piece

As a minis gamer its affordable to trade away surplus stock for units needed for th game

if you start from Scratch and buy “singles” it will be expensive.

its an option for us who already own many pieces

But for Italians alone: (the online shop I order my pieces)

price per piece
Ambra (Submarine) 0,19$
Luca Tarigo (Destroyer) 0,79$ OR Ugolino Vivaldi (DD) 0,39$
E.F. Duca D’Aosta (CL) 1,79$ OR Eugenio di Savoia (CL) 1,29$
Vittorio Veneto (BB) 7,99$ - are really big - the Giulio Cesare BB is a bit smaller but costs 8,99$
NO CARRIER AVAILABLE ATM
NO TRANSPORT AVAILABLE ATM

C.202 Folgore - fighter 1,39$ - a stand has 3planes that are molded together, but you might be able to cut them…
SM.79 Sparviero - twin engine Bomber 2.59$

Fucile Modello (infantry) 0,49$
47/32 Antitank Gun (Arty) 0,39$
Carro Armato M11/39 2,29$ - L3/35 Tankette 0,59$ (the latter is quite small and currently not available, the foremer relative big)

prices change wwith demand the Rusian Mosin Magant costs around 3 times the Fucile…

How much a nation costs depends largely on how many units of each type you probably will need…

Wow, thank you for those prices;  It looks like I’m sticking with plastic for now  :|
