I crossed out my eighteenth point because I’ve changed my mind and those rules do make sense. I still think the new damage and repair rules are flawed with regards to historical accuracy.
Axis American Cold War Final Copy

@monsieurmurdoch Ok that makes more sense
-
@monsieurmurdoch and what’s the turn order?
-
@grahamjmart
Turn Order:
The Greater German Reich and (capital: Berlin)
United States of America (capital: Washington)
Empire of Japan (capital: Tokyo)
Empire of Manchukuo (capital: Manchuria) use the 1940 China pieces and 1940 American pieces for artillery, mechanized infantry, and AAA
Clique Alliance of the Interior (capital: none) use 1940 ANZAC infantry and artillery and grey chips for roundels
New Roman Empire (capital: Rome)
The Canada/ROWI Commonwealth (capital: Ottawa)
Vichy France (capital: Paris)
Soviet Russian Free States, SRFS (capital: none. If Moscow is liberated, it becomes the capital)This is found at the very top of the setup, if you’re having trouble finding it.

@monsieurmurdoch Ok thanks!
-
@grahamjmart
Out of curiosity, have you had the chance to try this out? -
@monsieurmurdoch Just finished setting it up.
-
@grahamjmart
How long did it take you lol?! -
Took me forever!
-
@monsieurmurdoch Probably 45 min.
-
@grahamjmart
Hmm, that’s actually a pretty good setup time. Shows the setup isn’t too big and lengthy. Will you be playing a game today or some other time? -
@monsieurmurdoch Starting it today
-
@grahamjmart
When you’ve finished, tell me how it went! I’ve played two games of this so far and it seems pretty balanced, but again this was before I changed the Japan condition, so that technically forfeits their victory in game one -
@monsieurmurdoch Ok, I’m excited!
-
@grahamjmart
Hey! How’s the game going? -
@monsieurmurdoch Hey, it’s going good for Germany🙂. So I’m on turn 6 or so and the Japanese and Manchucko Empire wiped out the CAI and the free Russians and took India and are building up in eastern Persia. Then they took Alaska and built a minor there. The Germans have been building up in Persia. They also took all of South America and built minors in Chile and Venezuela. They just got Quebec. The Italians took Central America and Nova Scotia. The Vichy French are building a fleet and getting ready to go take India (The Japanese and the German Alliance aren’t at war YET ) and the US is just turtleing.
-
@grahamjmart
Nice! (for Germany :) I’m actually kinda surprised that Italy has gotten up that far; I would’ve expected them to go straight for the US itself.
Is Vichy France going for West India or India itself? If it’s India, how large is the Japanese force there (your hinting at a war between the former Axis!)
It sounds like your having a blast with this! From the sounds of it, the Reich is closet to winning the game. Saying that, does it seem relatively balanced, or should Germany and Japan be nerfed/the US be strengthened? Also, how do you feel about the winning conditions as well as the two weaklings Russia and CAI? -
@monsieurmurdoch France’s fleet is in sz 81 and getting ready to take out the Japanese western fleet. The Japanese had about 15 tanks in eastern Persia. Yeah, I think the German could be nerfed a little and the US and UK definitely buffed.
-
@monsieurmurdoch It took a while for the Japanese to root out the CAI and free Russians but I think the victory conditions are good.
-
@grahamjmart
Yeah, that’s what I thought. I think that Germany’s fleet in particular is too strong too soon, and perhaps their ground forces could be nerfed as well. I also think I was a little too hard on the US. Canada, maybe a little bit of added oomph.Keep me updated on the game! Continues to sound interesting. I kinda feel bad for Japan, however if the US still has naval units in the Pacific, the US and Japanese Empire could form an alliance, especially if it allows Japan to send some naval power into the Atlantic.
-
@monsieurmurdoch Ok, Washington just fell turn 9
