  • Use the one above please. For the Destroyer edit.

    ‘and that’s how Italy gets built up.’


  • Also, now we can see why Taranto or Tobruk are necessary first moves.

  • '23 '20

    @Stough
    Been pondering that conundrum this afternoon. Not sure that taranto is a must - or thar it must be tobruk if not taranto. I have an idea i will try my first game with allies. Because italy has to take any threat to its fleet seriously - she can’t replace it, and its light on destroyers and subs to soak up hits.

  • I think we are starting to see WHY a bid is necessary. I get that folks see the gas as unbalanced, but I wasn’t clear on WHY that’s so. I’m starting to think that OOB leaves a limited array of either or choices in the beginning of the the game. And that each of those either or’s have a counter by the Axis that is devastating; making it impossible for the Allies to win without a bid. I still don’t see the nuts and bolts f this hypothesis, but I think the gray may be getting lighter.

    This is why I think is important for us to play with no bid. I want to understand exactly what the bid is trying to erase.


  • Also, what gives? Are the Germans and Russians at war? What are the consequences if I declare war on Hitler’s crazy ass.


  • MARTI will allow me to declare war, but without the rules handy, I’m not sure what I’m giving up if I do so.

  • '23 '20

    @Stough
    As it is now Turn 3 - Russia may declare war on Germany. Italy Declared war and took a territory. Than Germany is reinforcing ITALY’s territory while still at peace with Russia, netting Germany an extra 5 PU’s for the national objective of being at peace with Russia.
    It would behoove Russia to declare war on Germany.

    And agree with the bid statement.


  • The rules say no dice to a war declaration on turn 3 by Stalin’s maniacs.

  • '23 '20

    @Stough
    They can as they have had war declared on them by an Axis power. Namely, Italy. I think by the rules it has to wait until END of turn 3 if no previous war declaration has been made.


  • Well, the bad news is I’m going to see if I can get another hours sleep before my day starts. I can probably sneak in Russias turn before 11:00 AM my time, but no promises.

    Side note: I’m really glad I’m playing the way I am right now, not because it’s helping me win, but because it’s showing me why stuff should redone. Ahhh, the learning.

  • '23 '20

    @Stough
    Yeah. I feel that way a lot. Getting very expensive lessons in my league games right now. in 1 game, lost all of G first turn purchase on UK turn 2 (1 CV, 1BB, 1 CA, 2 Trans)
    About to lose the entire Italian navy due to some crazy ANZAC attack on ANZAC 2 in my other game. Who knew 2 INF represent a credible attack threat?!?!?!?! Not a noob!
    What time zone are you in?
