@John:

Thanks so much YG for interviewing Sean Michael’s game. I bought it, but haven’t had time to play it. This video, will help learning the game faster. :-)

No Problem John, if you start saving now… maybe we can meet at the FMG convention next year ( 8-))

It would be cool to meet you, but it is hard for me to travel far, because I own a retail business that keeps me more localized, here in Texas. I don’t get Saturdays off, which makes it tough. I can take off on a Saturday, as long as it isn’t between October and December, and I have to plan ahead, for it.

I hope, some day, but if not, maybe Freddy can hold a convention, where he lives, and I could travel to his event, if he ever has something.

Historical Board Gaming, also has their conventions in Tulsa, usually in May, which would be better for you. I attended their convention this year, because it was close enough, where I could drive to. I could leave Friday night and be there till Sunday night.

Either way, I hope to meet you someday. That would be awesome. :-D

@Variable:

The pics are working just fine…

And this looks AWESOME Pac War! I would be interested in a “how to” and a cost estimate for making other games in this fashion. Please, let us know!

Unless it was mas produced, I don’t think that something like this would be cost effective.  The material cost alone $45 and it was on sale!  The hexgrid was drawn by hand (HOURS and HOURS of mindnumbing work) as were the other graphics.  Stitching it all up was not particularly hard but there was zero room for error due to the fact that so much time went into the play area.  “Oh well, I screwed that up.  Just cut another piece of fabric.” was not an option.  You would have to start from point zero.  If I were producing this board for someone, I would not feel guilty charging $250 because it was so labor intensive.  However, if you could buy cloth with a grid already printed at the price I paid, price would drow WAY down……figure $100.  That would be $45 for material and $55 for time and graphics.

i went through this i got a battlestrip anyway I told them repeatively it wasn’t something i needed but i got another one, they did send me 9 more tac bombers 6 that were missing and 3 more to say sorry

In the 1939 variant, I combined ANZAC and CANADA into a new power THE COMMONWEALTH.  The income was split between the two sides of the map (Ottawa / Sydney).  The twist was that this power shares the SAME TURN as the UK.  So they can work in concert with the UK and Calcutta forces.

Yeah I already know that, but it would be better if they were separated nations, at least i  my opinion

They are separate Nations, but controlled by one player.  They have separate economies, Capitols etc…

So house-rule them into a different turn order.

Though, to be quite honest, on their own Anzac and Canada as completely separate nations would be like playing France … more or less useless.
Anzac may do alright, but Canada just doesn’t have enough to do anything without the assistance of the UK (which is why having them move on the same turn as the UK and Anzac, all in cooperation, is an amazing way to do it.  It makes for some very interesting moves, especially if you have different people playing UK and Canada/Anzac)!

But I want them to be in a differnet turn order

Just thinking that the people who make these dice should be the author of this thread. But no matter.

While I rather like the idea, India is basically a power. But upside down turtle fmg is not even done  Italy.

yea and free shipping…
