League Community Shared Hot-Seat game

I would actually prefer to have set teams, but possibly randomly determined or determined by you to mix skill levels. We can also randomize who takes the turn.

I think it would be a great way for less experienced players to learn and discuss some possible strats with more experienced.

We could have some internal rule, that once you designate who will play the next turn, all strat discussions cease, and that player decides the specifics “on their own”. Or maybe we have discussions between complete full rounds, and then each power has at it independently, and has to adapt on their own as the round evolves.

I would foresee having an oversupply of players per team, so you never know which round you will be in, of which power you control. But you are on a set side, Axis or Allies.

[gamerman01]

Yep, I like parts of that, thanks for the brainstorming!

A pool of players for each side, more than enough for one round, and they get plugged in, not the same power every time.

We’ll see what else this first game reveals to us, probably more ideas too. I think game #1 will keep creative juices like that flowing, and we’ll all keep thinking

Picking a side and having more than 3 or 4 players per side, with occasional strat discussions is a good idea,

A difference between that, with this first trial game here, being, with no teams and no conferencing there is also no ownership or really competitiveness, which has its own advantages (less stress, less time, teammates are not disappointed with you)

Those ideas are very welcome, thank you

I’ll take China 1 if that’s OK

[gamerman01]

@simon-tressel That’s great, you got it

ENJOY the extra men!!!

Regarding the coordination required of the Allies vs Axis, I might argue that the Axis suffers similarly. The closest coordination is required by Italy and Germany, with Italy moves based on anticipation of Germanys subsequent move.

Whenever I’ve played over-the-board, the bid tends to be much lower than the 40-60 range, and the Allies are still quite competitive.

But will be interesting to see how this evolves. Fun concept! I’m happy to play a turn whenever needed.

You got J1 after Ghost does Russia,
Unless you want US1

@gamerman01

Thx! J1 is done, so US1 is up whenever you find someone to jump in.

[gamerman01]

At a glance, it looks like those extra Chinese dropped like flies

I’ll get someone, thanks for the alert!

G2 me! me! (hand raised) pick me!

[gamerman01]

Welcome back, mike,

You may take G2 and enjoy 2 extra bombers your predecessor purchased.

@gamerman01 kill kill

[mike64]

Unsuccessful at posting scramble decision inquiry. so would probably not be able to post at end of turn. When I played a couple years ago I only learned to manually save and post my turn. So I will relinquish your kind permission to play G2 and let someone else have it.

[gamerman01]

Might be your version of Triple A, I had that issue for a long time too and forget how I resolved it

File -> Post
(Ctrl M)
Posts the current game and doesn’t mess up the end of turn

If you can only save it and upload it that works too, just like you used to do

Don’t have to play if you don’t want to figure it out, I mean, no pressure

[BombsAway]

@gamerman01 I’m up for a turn.

[gamerman01]

It’s all yours!

[gamerman01]

R2 played, no blood, just lots of rumbling.

Germany has been crippled at Gibraltar and G1 and G2 bought 4 aircraft total.
Japan has 2 transports at FIC and 3 at Japan, seemingly set for a J3 DOW. The Russians moved all-in to Amur due to early German weakness. It is not going well for the Axis so far.

Who dares play Japan 2?
