or ummm, the us opens doors for ANZAC + UK
Just build a huge fleet as US…ANZAC + UK build transports etc, to recapture islands
The can opener still exists, it will always exist
yes but that is better than the US buying all subs while ANZAC can openers until the seas are completely cleared.
The smaller power opening the door for the larger power is more dangerous. I know it works the other way especially when your all fighting one enemy, but its not as effective. If UK/Anz were allowed to take out a couple of blocker (DD) units (maybe all they can do) then the US comes in and smokes your fleet, OUCH. The turn order in this game doesn’t allow for that. The UK/Anz are really just minor powers, and would be hard pressed to deliver the Knock out punch normally. Of coarse the allies should always coordinate their efforts though.
And that is why I would perfer a turn order of Italy, France, UK, Germany, Russia, or something to that effect. Make sure italy goes before germany in relation to russia’s turn. Otherwise its back to aa50 '41.
The biggest change, other than japan’s lack of transports, is that italy cannot can opener. It lets russia be much more aggressive.
If UK has adequate power in the Med it should be able to put enough pressure on Italy to distract it from can opener operations in the east. African income is a much bigger proportion of income for Italy, and something it cannot afford to lose without becoming insignificant.
yeah but it only takes 1 or 2 tanks to threaten a can opener, if turn order lets italy go before germany in relation to russia’s turn, we will have a problem.
The best turn order to avoid can openers:
Japan
Russia/France
Germany
USA/China
Italy
UK/ANZAC
Nice razor, very nice. That would be a perfect turn order.
Reverse the order for the ULTIMATE CAN OPENER OPTION :-D
i agree it will be a stock 6 player game, but it could have many more players
Germany
Italy
japan
western US player
Eastern US player
ANZAC
Eastern UK player
Western UK player (the way i see it the UK needs to be activly operating in the pacific for any chance on an allied victory)
China
Frace
USSR
So there could be (COULD) 11 players. I must admit that two US players would be a nice convience with how big the board is going to be.

Ha ha lol, you will never find 11 players. It will be like you have to wait two houers between your turns. No man, this game will most likely have 2 or 4 players. I hardly doubt more than 4 players.
6 is the most- 4 probable.
2 players is always the easiest.
@Brain:
2 players is always the easiest.
6 is never a problem.
Or at least that’s the consensus of the voices in my head.

Can you loan out those voices for my next 6 player game? :-D
If I ever have enough people play a full game then instead of having everyone play as one power we make our decisions based as a collective.

Resistance is futile.

How can you get that many people to agree on one thing?

Well they should all be able to agree that the French player has to place the pizza order and be Officer In Charge of Re-fills since he’ll have nothing else to do after G1….
Anyway, it could be fun bit of chaos to have a full cast of players… :lol:
France should get to go before Germ, so he at least gets one round of entertainment.
In my ideal 8-man game I’d give France to China so he gets a taste of boats and planes.
