Does anyone have any photos comparing the different versions ….....

In China that CHANGED the map by adding a Chinese control symbol on a Japanese controlled area, to indicate that its Chinese influence

thanks yes.  I have a re recreated board and not the game.  But that sounds right with changing territories.

Personally waiting for FMG to finish with their sculpts and making my own AA50 game with the map for IL.

A whole lot cheaper and much nicer.

Thanks for all the input.  Much appreciated.

the peices on the board represent divisions, corps, etc.
Each infantry model on the board probably has about 100 snipers in it. but it consists of maybe 10,000 - 50,000 men total, so the snipers dont have that much of an effect.

Snipers would be a good unit for a stalingrad A&A game, but now your getting into a different area of gaming….tactical gaming.

A&A, Risk, Diplomacy…are strategic games.
Flames of War, A&A Miniatures, Warhammer…are tactical games

Strategic games deal with commanding grand campaigns, where tactical games are more like chess, each piece has a different and unique task. Snipers fill a tactical roll. If bishops are your long range artillery, rooks, the armor, then the knight is a sniper…for example.

ditto.

@captainjack:

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

I’ve uploaded one to BoardGameGeek.

That looks pretty sweet!
