Good feedback all, thank you! It was something he hadn’t done before and I was just curious what others thought of the strategy. One thing I did not think of was using Japan to attack Moscow if Germany fails in its attack. I will have to consider this option in a future game.

What are your thoughts on Japan ignoring China and instead focusing on southeast Asia and the money islands to push towards India? My buddy played this strategy against me but I haven’t played as much as him so I may have been less prepared for it. It seemed that Japan was still making a good amount of money by ignoring China.

My mat came in last week and it looks amazing! Unfortunately I can’t seem to get images uploaded. I found a place overseas that I went with since it is one large playmat, not two like it would have been if I went with Inked Playmats. Simply amazing the detail and how it looks. Thanks sired, you did a great job on this!! Currently have a game planned with a buddy in two weeks. :)

Found a website, inkedplaymats.com. Looks like they have a size that will work. Cost would be $160 plus shipping I am sure. I haven’t checked it out yet fully.

@siredblood:

Thanks tjoek, I wanted to keep the theme as the standing army.

Thanks imperious, wasn�t sure you approved, you went dark on the topic haha… I knew the IPC changes wouldn�t be popular, but I feel where they were made has little impact, as if japan takes Sydney, they will get Victoria anyway, japan often takes soviet Far East while Germany snags up Ukraine… so same IPC loss, and Egypt exchanges hands quite often.

On the flip side, I�ve had games where Anzac was chocked out even with a minor in Queensland… would be better to just upgrade Sydney.

Also… floor huh? One of my guys is going to bring me a sample on mousepad material, wonder if that�s the sane thing.

@ Leatherneck, ya bro, we�ll set a date soon… little busy at work now to take a Friday off, but soon for sure, within a month.

Printing this on mouse pad material would actually be really great for me. I have done some searching around my area but haven’t found a place that prints on it. :(

Amazing! Will you be offering this up to the community to print and play on?

This looks really awesome! I’ve been a lurker around here and this had me join up to comment. I am looking to get a good map to print out on some vinyl so it’s one solid piece. Will this be available to the public once you’re done?
