General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game

HI @SS-GEN,
Discussing Submarine combat values, here is a picture about Attacking 3 Defending 2 Cost 5:

Compared to Submarine A5 D2 Cost 7:

With Sub A3 D2 C5, you have more room to increase attacking value with various bonus without being too near of Heavy Cruiser @7 firepower.

Also, from Germany POV, if you need to attack an Allied fleet, it becomes easier to sacrifice Subs while keeping aircraft at 8 IPCs.

I would like to donate this Tiger Tank (I painted and dolled up recently) to the next battle at the General’s Fortress, November 16th. If accepted, he will serve proudly for the German player on the Eastern Front or in the Ardennes.

[General 6 Stars]

Yes you can. Will make it A10 D10. Lol
You have heard of the White Tiger right ?

[Folgore77]

Lol Those are awesome A/D ratios. No, I haven’t heard about the White Tiger. I looked it up and I see the Russians made a movie about it though. Do you have a good resource you can point me to to learn more about it?

[General 6 Stars]

I know of the movie. I watched it. As far as having one no idea. Wouldn’t think so. Stand out like a sore thumb. It will
On map lol

[Folgore77]

@SS-GEN Considering you don’t have any painted tanks, yes, it will stand out like a sore thumb. lol But if you’re worried about that, we don’t have to use it. I can keep it for my Anniversary map. Your call.

[General 6 Stars]

Whatever you want to. I don’t mind either way. Bring it. Will see if it lives. Maybe a Tac will
Single it out. Lol

I see your point but mostly Ger wants to save as many subs as possible for convoy raiding after T1. I’ll have to show u want I mean. In order to keep UK income as low as possible helps the Normandy landings get delayed and to represent the battle of thee Atlantic.

@SS-GEN That looks awesome!! Looking forward to seeing it on the table next Saturday!!

[Folgore77]

@AAGamer Thanks, Mark!! :D

Well we had to cancel last Saturday’s game due to my appendix rupturing. It’s been 2 weeks now and l’m doing good. Was like being in the fog.
New game will be Dec 14 Sat. We made a few changes. Just didn’t get to test Saturday.
Russia now gets to promote 1 t-34 tank to a guard tank per turn. AD7
Russian Parisian pops up on any empty German controlled territory. AD2
If 2 Parisians in same territory will Control territory.
There’s Siberian Inf on the Eastern front to and by Finland.
A few more KV-1s on Eastern front too. A6 D8.
Figs and N figs Changed
Figs C8 AD5 M5 + If roll is a 2 or less get a bonus plane kill. SBR AD3
N fig C8 AD5 M4 + If roll is a 2 or less get a bonus plane kill. SBR AD3
Carriers C12 D@4 plane only.
2 NA changes
Russia NA Guard Tank went to Guard Inf. .
Can promote 1 Inf to a guard Inf per turn A4D5.
German NA Wolf Pack now one time in game get to roll 3 d6s and that total is what Germany can spend on naval only.
That’s about it.
Will post game report and hopefully
Live stream the next game.

@SS-GEN

glad you’re ok General. That’s scary stuff having it rupture. Should give you some more time to work on the game while you heal : )

Personally, I like this new Sub: C7 A@5 D@2 if roll is a 1 pick target.
YES I DO TOO

subs rolling 1 cannot pick air units

[General 6 Stars]

Right IL. Subs cannot hit planes. Should of explained it better. Also subs cannot hit subs too.

[General 6 Stars]

Looked at the Sub values a bit more now. I can see going with

Subs
Now
C7 M2
A5 1.22
D2 .49 = 1.71
No pick target.

2 German Wolfs
C7 M2
A6 1.47
D2 .49 = 1.96
No pick target.
Could give these 2 above if roll is a 1 can pick target.
OR

Future Proposal.
C6 M2
A4 1.33
D2 .67 = 2.00
Roll a 1 can pick target.

2 German Wolf pack subs or more only.
C6 M2
A5 1.67
D2 .67 = 2.34
Roll a 1 can pick target.

Super Subs Tech.
+1 on AD.
C6 M2
A5 1.67
D3 1.00 = 2.67
But this would not go towards Germany using Wolf Packs on A.
A6 2.00
D3 1.00 = 3.00 Just to strong.
But the Wolf Pack subs should get to D3 if they get Tech.
A5 1.67
D3 1.00 = 2.67 keeps them in line with other countries receiving
the Super Subs tech too.
Simple way for SS tech is make it
Subs C6 A5 D3. Remove the +1 on AD so it won’t change Wolf Packs.

Live streaming game now on twitch
Go to or find. ssgen69

@SS-GEN Cool idea to use twitch for streaming games, indeed.
Maybe next time announce date and time more offensively to get some more attendance.
Maybe in the “Events” category …
:slightly_smiling_face:

[General 6 Stars]

Ya. Had no idea how it work until 30 minutes before game started. Learning the stuff yet. Will have future dates.

[General 6 Stars]

Quick game report. The Axis won on T4 or Allies could of extended it another turn to 5 but wouldn’t win anyway.
Axis had 33 points. Allies could of gotten 4 points back on T4 but next turn 5 Axis could get 1 or 2 points for 30/31 points for win
with Allies not being able to take any points back.
We only had 4 guys so there were a few mistakes made due to Allies player playing most of allies with a new guy TO THE GAME. NOT AA PLAY !!!
The new plane costs and values worked great. Guys really like that bonus plane kill every round from Dog fighting and ship AA.
So next game planned is Jan 18 and will be live streamed with audio this time.
The live stream went good for this game.

[General 6 Stars]

“Operation Lifeboat” coming soon on Jan 18 th
Live streamed.
We will be playing another game. More details soon.
