Great news! I have purchased a copy of North Africa and am awaiting delivery! Thank you to all who gave a review of the game, it has made me very excited about playing the newest edition to the franchise.

@The_Good_Captain Thank you for your reply! I understand what you are saying and it can sometimes be very difficult to stick to a strategy after being crushed by the enemy (haha). I expect that other people have tried this strategy before, it’s just fun trying it myself with hope of finally winning as the Central Powers without having to play for days, or even weeks, just to achieve the edge over the opponent.

@VictoryFirst I am currently playing against DoManMacgee and then I will be playing against Ragnell804, but then I can verse you, l’ll let you know when.

I am considering pre-ordering this game, is it worth it?

@feaborn are you selling the miniatures as well?

@DoManMacgee Yes, only the Out Of Box rules, including the Russian Revolution.

@ZehKaiser87 Thank you for your review! I am definitely going to try getting a copy.

@DoManMacgee Yeah that’s fine, I don’t mind if the RR isn’t triggered. Do I just add the Russian income the previous turn onto the German IPC count?

I am wondering if/where I can buy extra national pieces and markers like Canadian or Vichy france

@DoManMacgee I’m not gonna waste anymore of your time, I concede defeat. The Entente are too large even If Bombay is captured and if the Ottomans are rescued. Thank you for the games, it’s back to the drawing board for this strategy. I just need to make a few modifications but I think it could work still.

When conducting the battle in Venice I forgot that it will choose to remove the tank and fighter over 2 infantry. Sorry for the mistake, I’m not sure what your preference is so I will leave it for you to decide to edit the units back in and take the 2 infantry out or just leave it.
