Axis American Cold War Final Copy

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
-
@grahamjmart
Yeah, that seemed inevitable.Good news: I have edited the setup and wrote the changes on a piece of paper. Nerfed Germany’s western strength as well as upped both America’s and Canada’s armed and airforces, and the US navy. Will make the changes directly on the setup.Did the war between Japan and France end up happening?
-
@monsieurmurdoch Yes but nothing really happened, it was just one turn before D.C. fell.
-
@grahamjmart
Ah, I see.
Overall, how do you feel about this scenario? Besides the setup (which I have fixed, going to make changes today), what else do you think could be changed or added in to make the game more interesting and potentially more balanced? -
Okay, the posted setup has been edited. A summary of the major changes includes a boost to the American fleet as well as a reduction in German strength. The Clique Alliance of the Interior has been renamed to the Warlord Coalition.
-
Pro-Allied, Pro-FIL, and Strict Neutral powers have been added in to the posted setup.
