Country Builds Cards

So maybe Veteran and conscript for the two Japanese infantry classes?  Would that work ok?

[Mark]

If I can get 3-4 folks from the New England group to go - then I would definately like to go to Origins.  I am planning on being home for a week-10 days in June and I have already tentatively got the ok from the wife to go play for a couple days somewhere

Veteran and conscript its great

But would it be like you were talking about before for powers like Germany that once you chose to go with the regular/conscript unit that you can't build anymore of the veteran/elite units?

[Mark]

Yes, like Germany, Japan can go on producing fewer high quality infantry and fighter units if they wish, but they have the choice to switch over to producing a larger number of lower quality fighter units and infantry later in the game.

As we have playtested it, Germany and Japan are usually so strapped for more infantry by 1942 that they usually switch over as soon as they can.

Well Dave S. and I will be at Gencon.

Not sure which is better for you guys though.

Where are you guys at with the Pacific half of the advanced game?

I was at GCI last year for my second taste of it (having been there briefly back a few years ago) and I am not a fan at all.

Just didn't like it.  Indy is a nice place and convenient for me to get to (if you call a 5+ hour drive convenient), but the actual con just doesn't turn my crank.  I may just be hampered in my feel in coming off of a long convention, usually right before, that I really like (WBC).

As screwed up as Origins usually is, I still like it better than GCI.  It may be that it is just the first convention that one gets to after a long winter lay off.  Or I just like the fact that we play Struggle up in the War Room area, away from the majority of the craziness.

Asia Pacific is pretty much done. - Very different feel - very fun

Well last year did feel down a little for me in just....fun.....but I still enjoyed it. I do agree with the separate space for the game would be great.

I also have not been to another convention so have nothing to compare it to except the one we have in Alaska (100 people).

Good to hear    Can we see some pics of that also?

[Mark]

There are some pics in the after action reports section - for example, there are a few pics of the map, pieces and some leaders here:

[Darkman]

When will the game be available to buy ? : -)

[John D.]

Good question - we are still playtesting things - maybe by the end of the year... We plan on bringing it to cons to get feedback...

[Yoper]

They were on the first page of this thread but seemed to have been removed.

Maybe they are doing some revisions to the information based on playtesting?
