when i first read your post i thought you were crazy and confused. but after your follow up post and pictures i see that you were very perceptive. good catch tomekhello

Thanks :-D

I understand that now, that board for Euro game could have been changed because it was still developed that time, but I think that there must be some easy way for Russia of stoping Japanese invasion from China, because all we can see now is that China is not going to last for a long time, and the last defence is usually Burma road. So I hope there won`t be any old strategy: all Japanese tanks heading to Moscow.

What I can also say about Global game is that (based on my experience):
*Russia could help China and send them some infantry.
*Japan will not be able to leave Manchuria and Korea unprotected, like now, because Russia could attack these territories.
*British fleet will not be traped at the edge of the map, and just wait for destruction from Japanese fleet, but can go  west, closer to Africa, and wait for better moments to try and grab Dutch East Indies.

For me the last one is very annoing, when I built nice British fleet, Japanese fleet comes and just very easy destroys it, because British cannot escape.

Thanks Krieghund for answer,
I am really curious how the map of Europe will look like as most of the people here :-)

Krieghund am I right?  :-)
Will it be Baluchistan which will be pro allies neutral?
And also can you say what will be the name of western part of India?

I think that it is really smart because in global game when almost all China will be coquered by Japan, Russia will have to just keep an eye on two territories at the border (Timguska and another one) to prevent Japan expansion.

Here is the picture of it, with my notes.

I didn`t have to rip a centimeter or two of this black cover at the back of board to see that, all of you can see that without doing that.
When you look carefully on the pictures which were taken by squirecam you can see very thin red lines which indicate were the boards are going to be folded. So when you look closely at the second picture on the left you will be able to see red line and behind it some yellow colored territory (probably Baluchistan) and also that the territory of western India will be pro allies neutral (assumption based on yellow color simmilar to Baluchistan).

Sorry, I tried to post a picture which will show you what I mean, I don`t know how to do that?
How can I post a picture?

I mean on the Europ map will be new territory at the border of China and USSR, and it is based on the pictures of Pacific map (on the very left you can see borders and a little territory which is yellow).
That is why I posted it in Europe thread, but it was moved here.

Razor - you mean what I`m talkig about, and I think that you are right, it will be Baluchistan - pro allies neutral (because you can see that the color of it is the same as the color of western India).

Hi!
Looking at the very first pictures of AA40P which squirecam took
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15181.0
(or at the back of Pacific board), we can see that between the border of China and USSR is another territory. The color of this territory is not red (so it is not russian) it looks more like yellow, so I assume that this should be impassable Tibetan Plateau.
What do you think?
This means that even when Japan conquers all China Russia will have to just control two territories (Timguska and another one) at the border to protect from Japanese invasion from China.
Also when you look carefully at the back of Pacific board or at these pictures you can see that western part of India will be pro allies-neutral territory.

I bought my copy 16th, in my local game shop in Warsaw, Poland:) It was 280 zł circa 67 Euro. Now I`m playing and testing it. The game is really nice, except few things (not enough tac.bombers for japan and too small mech.infantry units)

Hi!
These pictures are really nice, as the game!!

But sth is wrong, on the ANZAC set up (from the picture) you can see that there is Major IC in New South Wales, but the value of this territory is 2, comparing it to the info from fact sheet, Major IC can be built on a territory with value 3 or higher.
Am I wrong?
