I can play ByForum or ByEmail, I need to play some more games…
The problem was I use to play LowLuck but we can play normal dicey, just a bit of editing… if the targem is to tray and learn new strategies… :grinning:
General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game

Got another game in Saturday. “Operation Smoky Boo”. Axis won in 5 turns. Germany influenced turkey turn 1 and funneled to the Middle East. Probably get Stalingrad turn 6 with axis losing 2 points in Med still have 30 points for win end of turn 6 anyway.
US came out quick in pacific but then was pushed back home. Then went back to take truk. Russia attacked Japan but luckily japan had NA destroyer express to retake north city back.
Europe side US UK did finally get a push into the Med but was a bit to late.
I’ll try and get pics in order.
Also the tech worked out great in game.
Only change as we played was if you received a free tech with no token or one tech left to go for u could roll a D6 and that’s the tech u got. At least a bit random there which game is all about.
Only change is US will start with no damaged battleships in Hawaii and receive 2 more transports in Hawaii on setup.

@general-6-stars Nice ! That Wake Aiefield getting a pretty heavy workout at the begining :)
oh bummer it changed the page. I’ll delete if you want :)

HI Ray,
So why are you going with the undamaged battleships in Hawaii? I can see the transports? There just not enough stuff for the USA to take damage there?
Looks interesting. Thanks for the heads up-- How many players were you able to get?

Well Japan played different this last game. So they delayed the US 2 turns. So seeing damage repair is only Ave of 9 icps ain’t gonna make a huge difference. Plus with 2 added transports to Hawaii the money US saves on damage BB can now buy ground in San Fran but still would need to pickup there or other option the money they save on damaged BB can now buy a IC for Hawaii. So we don’t see that much of a huge change.
We only had 4 guys. I played Russia and all of pacific. Wanted to see how tech worked out again
-
That makes sense with regards to the pacific Ray. I can easily see that. You played Russia and the Pacific? That is one tough one to focus on the Pacific and Russia at the same time that is for sure. Techs look fun to use now. Anything else new I would find interesting?
Thanks for the reply,

No. That’s it. Just redesigning the event cards with a couple added cards and a couple removed from old deck. Would like to sell them and people can use in other games. 14 good 10
Bad. We play now with 12 good 8 bad. But u can adjust this to any game based on turns and percentage of card use. Also if u want draw 2 cards a turn maybe for a 8 turn tourney games.

2 cards a turn could be brutal. Especially if you drew 2 bad cards. Hehe. I hope you and the rest of the guys had fun. Thanks for the updates Ray. - Take care - Mark

We Had another game last Saturday and the Axis won on turn 4.
Germany did sea lion and took London while the wolf packs did really well on attacking the UK fleet to the west of London.
Then on turn 2 the subs were able to spam out to convoy boxes helping with depleting some UK US income while UK had to retake back London and what helped also was the UK planes took out all of Germanys fleet with the sea lion transports so Germany they never got back London. But no IC on London now and UK needs to build one on turn 2 but only can be a minor that builds at 6. Plus the IC in Ottawa went to a minor build at 6 and new Capital when London fell.
Russia was able to take Finland since the German transports bought on turn 1 did not go towards there. Germany should of bought more navy on turn 1 but we learn.
So Russia was able to hold Leningrad and force the Europe Axis to go else where for victory points.What really helped Germany turn 1 was they influenced Spain and was able to use there units to London and take Gib.
Also axis took Cairo too and that helped them a lot. plus on turn 4 Germany influenced Turkey and then it was to much for Allies to over come. Allies did block a win on turn 3 by taking Colonge and Oslo but then Colonge would be retaken by Germany on turn 4 so allies conceded.
Pacific side Japan was doing good but then don’t ask me why but the American fleet moved but left all there transports exposed to Japan attacks in other sea zones off on Marshall Islands.
Plus looks like Calcutta’s gonna fall next and just to much for allies to retake.
Was another great game and saw some new stuff after sea lion and now will see how allies counter it in future games.
Pics are start of turn 4 and 1 pic of Cairo going to fall.
