-
Name Classic: Iron Blitz 1939B RussiaInTheAxis
Description Classic game with Russa/Germany vs UK/Japan/USA
linkGood Points
- Fast-playing, straightforward
- Different strategic situation
Bad Points
- Probably a draw with good play on both sides (but an interesting puzzle to beat the AI controlling 1 country)
-
Name Global 40 House Rules
Description The Global 40 with a bunch of house rules
link
Good Points
- China is more of opponent because of the guerilla rule
- Destroyer/submarines have a more interesting interaction
- Some interesting new units
Bad Points
- The rules don't do much to resolve the balance issues
- Some of the new stuff is hard for the AI to handle

Name Domination 1914 NML Navalland

link
Good Points

Name Star Wars: Galactic War
Description Space & Ground Warfare in the Star Wars Galaxy
link
Good Points
- Lots of evocative Star Wars units
Bad Points
- It is hard to accomplish anything
Note: "Worlds are islands, Space is a sea" does not work well. The slow speeds of ships and the difficulties of conquering worlds makes the game rather slow. Ships in Star Wars should travel at the speed-of-plot, not 2 areas a turn.
Another way space opera could be handled is by making all of space 'land' with bonuses/penalties for ground/space units based upon domain (like in the Civ games)

Good Points

- No victory conditions
Note: Favors the Arabs. Take all 3 Israeli commands against the AI for an interesting game.

@RogerCooper If this map is only about changing the skin, it should be a map-skin, instead. Just delete the "games" folder and add "-military_symbols_skin" at the end of the map name.
I'm saying "if" because I'm not seeing where I am supposed to click to download it.
Nice to see the actual State flags, by the way.
-
@Cernel I'm guessing this is a coincidence as i just updated these maps at git.
