How big is this game!!!

Tangier was made an international zone in 1923 under the joint administration of France, Spain, and Britain. (Italy joined in 1928).

After a period of effective Spanish control from 1940 to 1945 during World War II, Tangier was reunited with the rest of Morocco following the country's independence in 1956.

How big is this game!!!

Map: 360 hexes wide by 195 hexes high = 70200 hexes. If printed as a paper map, using normal board game hex sizes, it would be a cylinder roughly 7 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter. A fine conversation piece for your living room [:D](your wife/girlfriend would love it[:@][:-]).

Terrain: 12 hex types, 6 hexsides types, road & rail conenctions, 81 sea areas, 5000+ unique bitmapped coastal hexes, 7000+ unique bitmapped river/lake hexsides.

Countries: 239

Major powers: 8

Players 1 - 6, with provision for adding other players as subordinate to whom tasks are delegated.

Units: 1000+ land units, 1200+ air units, 1000+ naval units; all the air and most of the naval units have unique bitmapped images = 2200+ unique counter bitmaps. All the air, most of the naval, and most of the land units will have unique writeups describing the historical unit on which the counter is based.

It keeps me busy.[8D]

You're going to make people afraid Steve [:D]

MWIF is what it is. Not for the faint of heart.

Here is something possibly worth clarifying. The Italian "AOI" TERRitorial can arrive as a reinforcement in Eritrea, Ethiopia, or Italian Somaliland. I would assume it can then draw supply from any city in those countries, cooperate with any other TERR from those countries, and move at 2 MP/hex (1/hex in MWIF, I assume) in any of those countries. OR once it appears in a country as a new unit, is it permanently a unit of that country only? And if it is the first case, does it not disappear unless all three of those countries are conquered?

I know it does not cooperate with other territorials (as currently implemented in MWIF). For example, it can not stack with them.

N'dola -> Ndola

Dualas -> Douala

Windhuk -> Windhoek

Duala I think is the German name. Using Duala would be like using Wagadugu for Ouagadougou (you can see both in historical maps)

When I was there for a few days 50 years ago it was known as Douala and it was very French language oriented. It was one of the nicest cities in the equatorial Africa area.
