True indeed. It is a great looking map, a unique Cold War map. There is little better than F-14s sitting on a supercarrier in the Indian Ocean, or Warsaw Pact tanks massed along the border in Central Europe.

Thanks. Messina was the historical event triggering the removal of Mussolini, but if the Allies didn’t want to release the ‘frozen’ German units & expedited reinforcements they could simply leave Messina until later in the game. (Like I did in our game.) In our second game we set multiple triggers for Italian surrender, which seemed to work.

Greetings. I'd like to play this game soon (I now own the game map), but there are too many discrepancies between the rules and reference sheets (downloaded from Boardgamegeek.) The rules are noted as being version 3.0, the reference charts lack a version number. So far, I’ve found these problems: The rules say fighters and tac bombers move 8, but the reference sheets say they move 10. The rules say most naval vessels move 3, but the charts say they move 4 (except for subs.) The rules say all nations’ armor attacks and defends at 6. However, the reference charts say Italian armor attacks and defends at 5, while German armor attacks and defends at 7. The rules say Allied airborne units attack at 3 or 4, the charts say they attack at 2 or 3. How are people playing this game? What works best?

Yes. We found the same issues. That’s why we worked thru a modified version of the rules we felt needed correction - including rules to set-up and set-up to reinforcement card issues. I’d still recommend working off the base game -filling in the gaps you find. We’ve made notes on our recommended adjustments and a few of us plan to circle back to playtest them again. Would welcome any fresh insight & input. The goal would be a V4.0 that smothed out the rough edges and that could be shared with the Community.

Playing weather, but not Generals or Murphy’s Law. We do intend to provide a summary overview video at the end. Also our game is being monitored by HBG, potentially we could offer a sanctioned alternate ruleset to the community. -We simplified supplies to a Depot/Line of supply concept. -We added Encirclement & surrender/capture of units encircled & out of supply. -Artillery Attrition/range attacks. Tac Bomber Air raids & made fighters basically air superiotiy only. Tweaked SBR target options. -Added Bridges, partisans and limits to number of rounds of combat in cities & Soviet Scorched Earth. -Tweaked how weather affects supplies & movement. -‘Call To Arms’: Soviet conscripts at no cost in every city zone first four turnds, adjusted cost of infantry for purchase, added Target Select to Infantry & Mechs (@1).
