Set up complete

For the background on this game see https://worldinflamessolooddysey.blogspot.com/2022/04/world-in-flames-solo-odyssey-ive-always.html?m=1

Set up is ahead of schedule 

Its very complicated and i might have got it wrong but as I'm playing myself it shouldn't matter too much

The biggest problem i had was with Japan's set up but someone on the FaceBook group directed me to the latest setup guidelines

The biggest variation was giving the Soviet Union extra units (including an extra fighter to the east of Soviet Union to counter Japan)  to closer match the historical size of the Red Army that invaded Poland.

New Game - Masters of the Air Turn 1

 I'm going to start a new game using the "sandbox" approach to reflect the US and Commonwealth (CW) bombing offensive on Germany from July 1943.  It will be mostly fighters and bombers (4 engined bombers plus mosquitos and wellingtons for the RAF) on the map but also a US and CW HQ in East Anglia to allow multiple basing of units on a hex. Flak divisions will also be placed. The moves will consist of redeploying moves from (US or the Eastern Front) of fighters and bombers. US bombers will be based in N Africa then Foggia in Italy from September 43. Targets will be Axis factories and oil. The aim is to achieve air supremacy over France by forcing the Luftwaffe to defend Germany. Secondary targets include Rumanian oil. Germany can only redeploy fighters from the Eastern Front after the Allied bombing raids in July/ August turn but the more they redeploy from the Eastern Front it will cost them a victory point penalty as they will allow the Soviets to establish air superiori

  World In Flames solo odyssey I've always been a history buff and an interest in wargames "World in Flames" is a famous "monster" game of thousands of pieces of great complexity. For an introduction to this game this website is detailed and helpful  https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3692085&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1   Does seem to be using a slightly older version of the rules The latest rules and scenarios can be found here  https://www.a-d-g.com.au/pages/downloads I bought a module for Vassal from the company that makes World in Flames Vassal is a computer program that allows you to play many boardgames especially wargames on your computer and can be found here https://vassalengine.org/ I am going to use some additional rules of my own which i think makes it a better simulation rather than balances game play eg  minor boosts to Commonwealth and French production to 0.75 from 1939  air and artillery ground units can o

The road near Rangoon is completed. This allows the Japanese in Burma to  be more easily supplied instead of relying on convoys to Rangoon or from China. Mistakes section again. The US in particular and Allies in general do not have enough production capacity in World in Flames. Someone said in 1942 the US should have 200 build points a turn in 1942 (they had 59 in my game). I should have allowed the US free shipyards  (or purchased them early on for 1 build point only) which allows them one build point extra Turn so long as i spend one build point in them. There are one for carriers, two for surface ships and one for convoys/ transports/ amphibians. I'm going to say they did get them early. To compensate for missed build points I'm going to add an extra cruiser for each  of the cruisers at the same point in the production circle and similarly 2 extra convoy points for the 2 convoy points at their points in the production circle. I've missed out on probably 8 build points f
