Sub from Solomons retreated to NE Australia, then it moved to South Indian ocean

LOL I asked Bing about the economic victory conditions to see if it was as soon as the Axis power finished, or after US turn, and she went and told me a bunch of strategy for the game. Unbelievable.

[gamerman01]

Hmph. She says she’s neither masculine nor feminine. I’ll continue to go with feminine like Alexa.

She can’t stop me.

[gamerman01]

You are very savvy, kwaspek…

What versions have you played?

[gamerman01]

I’m quite sure you’ll beat me with the Allies

[kwaspek104]

I like all the old versions, this one, and the original Europe and Pacific being my favorites. Revised is pretty good too. I’m actually not a huuuge fan of the newer ones. I don’t like some of the changes like transports not being able to defend, aircraft too cheap, changes to SBR & AA guns, etc.

That being said, I’m open to playing pretty much any version! We should do a chronological review of the series lol.

I’ve actually never played Global, the only version I haven’t played yet. (As well as Bulge & Guadalcanal. I’ve pre-ordered Guadalcanal so I’ll be able to play it soon tho!)

[gamerman01]

Aircraft are definitely too cheap.
The guys in the league developed a mod to G40, and they increased the bombers to 14, and now nobody (except for me) buys them.

I’m a little interested in learning new versions, I’ve only played global ones. So I’ve never played anything like Guadalcanal (and isn’t there a D Day) - I wonder what those are like.

1914 WWI looks interesting too

[kwaspek104]

Yeah. D-Day, Bulge, and Guadalcanal were all released before Anniversary, which I kinda consider the cut-off point between old and new.

I think you need to be able to put fighters on new carriers in Classic 🤔🤔

[gamerman01]

Wow, what a move. Now I know I won’t win with the Axis, not against you
