@weddingsinger So that didn’t really work out… I mean, at least I got one plane, but without a German ship or plane to follow up the attack I probably should have waited.
-
Yeah, I wasn’t sure what you were doing there, especially with low luck – the battle calculator said you were kind of doomed on that one.
Relatedly, this game looks like it is headed somewhere very favorable for the Allies. I don’t mean to pressure you, but anytime you feel like we’ve had enough, we can restart and I’ll take the Axis! I want to see if building a ton of German infantry/artillery can overcome the mechanized Russia strategy. I also want to let you do the Gibraltar stack and try to take Egypt with Italy and see how that goes.
-
@Argothair Yeah, let’s go ahead and reset. Japan can’t quite be in position to sink the ANZAC/US fleet, and can take Calcutta in 2 turns, but I screwed up Germany/Italy and the N.O.s meaning U.S. is bringing the hammer to Japan soon and maybe Germany hits the Caucaus but I think its not very likely.
-
Yeah, I mostly agree – India will fall at some point, and Germany can pick up a couple more territories before stalling out, but none of that is really enough to flip or even stabilize the game for the Axis.
It was a very interesting playtest! Never seen strategies like that before; totally different style of game. Thanks for exploring this with me. I’ll send you G1 tonight. :)
-
@Argothair Sure thing. You can even keep this thread if you want.
My Japan is usually ruthlessly efficient (China partisan rule messed me up… so did the balanced mod N.O.'s). Germany I tend to want to do too many things at once and end up doing none of them well.

Scramble off UK? :-)
-
@Argothair I kind of want to max scramble from both. Is that alright or too weird for our purposes? The math says I should kill as much as I lose, maybe an extra plane or 2.
-
@weddingsinger I mean, I’m not sure how you do the Gibraltar stack if (as seems likely) you dont have any fighters left in the UK, but if I’m wrong about that or if you just want to test out the mech Russia bit and ignore the Gibraltar stack for now, that’s fine with me.
