@jonpfl said in jonpfl (Allies) vs SuperbattleshipYamato (Axis), Global 1940, out of box rules:

I assume I just save the file and load it? I can do at least one move a day typically.

Yes.

@VictoryFirst

It worked!

I needed to turn national objectives off for a Global 1940 variant known as “Armies vs Navies” (more information here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40017/axis-and-allies-global-1940-armies-vs-navies-compatible-with-triplea/23).

Would you like to playtest this version with me? It would be the first time playing this map with a human opponent (I’ll take navies, you take armies, we’ll play with the basic rules, not the optional one). Thank you!

@The_Good_Captain

Awesome! Likewise, I thank you for playing! You are an excellent opponent! Yeah the German reinforcements in Rennes caught me off guard 😂. I wasn’t expecting any more Germans to come this late in the game.

Your shift toward Caen was a great move. It was an area where I was weaker and my forces around St. Lo couldn’t very easily help defend without giving up St. Lo. I should’ve probably distributed my forces more evenly and sent a bit fewer troops to Cherbourg (six tanks remaining are a bit too many, a couple of tanks could probably have been used somewhere else). I think even if I managed to hold St. Lo, you still would have been able to contest Caen as you have 8 troops to attack it. I’d need to get 5 strafe rolls and 3 hits with my 8 artillery. Not sure what the odds on that are but I think you have a decent chance to have a unit remaining.

I am almost finished with fixing D-Day. I am now trying to find a way to make 2 or more fighters automatically do multiple strafe rolls. Also, there might be a way to make AA guns automatically fire at aircraft. Do you have any more suggestions about fixes?

Good game the Axis win once again. Lets run it back again.

@The_Good_Captain

Yeah I think even if I destroyed your fleet the Allies would still have won just because I had no chance of posing threats to Russia. At some point, I couldn’t even move into East Poland anymore 😂

Anyway, I’d be happy to switch sides after every game, so I’ll be the Allies this time. I’ll place two infantry in Malta and two infantry in Ukraine.

Good game the Germans win.

@kwaspek104 @DoManMacgee

good game gents - I do feel the Germans were fairly run through by the dice - this was a helpful game nonetheless

@Ragnell804 yeap GG, sides? Load up Russia if you want allies, etc…

@Panzerstahl-Helm

yea you can move and arm same turn, as long as you control TTy at turn start.

If transported by Engnr you can arm in TTy conquered that turn

@The_Good_Captain

Of course!

@kwaspek104 @Ragnell804 though it was ‘mostly’ an accident - there’s actually a 10% chance of a draw anyway. If the intent is to remove just the transport, the possibility of this is amazingly somewhere near 45%…

…if you get to the point where the transport is dead, it makes almost no sense to retreat. A very odd battle flow. Good to know this going forward.

@VictoryFirst A very good game! I’d love to play again; I am currently working on downloading your map you so graciously sent me. Thank you! We could try tournament, but my experience has been that while it is good for games you want to go by quickly, the “regular” ruleset is more solid. Mostly the 2 movement into contested zones is what makes me say that; huge consequences can result from technicalities.

@The_Good_Captain

Germany.

@elche were you ready for our second game?
