This is taking me Waaaay back. I haven’t been squeezed as Germany since I was playing against myself 32 years ago. Mainly because I’ve only taken them twice since returning, and the dice smoked my Luftwaffe so hard against Ragnell I chose to resign (twice) rather than play the much longer game.
Is pretty wild to return to Classic after all that revised, the Anniversary edition (man those were the days) and over a decade of G40
All those 1-2 and soon to be 1-2-3 punches to prepare for, yeah, lots of fun

Will have to do noncom later, tonight

@gamerman01 Everything OK? Japan is ready to cause chaos in Asia 😀
-
Aughhh! Yeah, 6 days already
I was coming to post an update and not quite in time before you ask what’s up!
Hard at work, wiped in the evenings last week but that will get better very soon. Have to do volunteer work tonight after work work, but then things slow down.
This weekend was a ton of celebrating for my 50th birthday, so I’ll be back at the A&A game board soon!
Used up all my birthday luck on the game of Life Friday night. Man, it was a slaughter. I can only get them to play a board game with me once a year.
-
No worries pal! Sometimes life just gets in the way! And congratulations on your birthday! I actually noticed the 49 becoming a 50 at your profile page but I wasn’t sure when that happened lol. The last time I looked at your profile was yesterday and the time before that was a couple of weeks ago and then it was 49. So I deduced your birthday must have been in mid/late may or early june 😀
Take as long as you need, our game doesn’t walk away!

I edited men from Yakut to Evenki and Novo to comply with 15 infantry stack rule during combat movement.
I made a note that at the end of the turn I have 14 stacks, because it is helpful for you to know that too.
I hit 86 income, so the USA must take at least 2 IPCs of territory for the Allies to stay alive. That will be no problem for you at all, but in being a sportsman I alert you so no surprises, and you need to know you’re in a danger zone for round 5.
@The_Good_Captain The rulebook is not entirely clear to me on this critical issue. On page 4 at the beginning it says after your finish the 6th action, your TURN is over. When every player takes an Action Sequence turn, a ROUND of play is over.
Page 2 says "combined production of 84 IPCS at the end of one complete ROUND of play (meaning every player has had a turn).I am quite sure that means after the USA, but it does not say “after the USA”, and a round could be interpreted to mean the other 4 powers still get to play.
So I need to be 100% sure, obviously.
Your total grasp of the Classic rules really is impressive. Thanks for another assist. -

No, I was thinking the threshhold was 85, but it’s 84. USA has to take 3 IPC’s of territory, so if you take France you’re still alive, or of course, Mexico and Alaska.

And that feature that counts units is FANTASTIC!!

@VictoryFirst did you make a feature for classic that has to do with stack count?
-
@gamerman
If on Japan’s turn, the Axis hit 85 IPC, the USA must take back 3 or the game is over. The Russians cannot do it in accordance with the rules.
Yes, you can win with a Japanese “lunge” if the USA player isn’t attentive. Nice “check” by the way. I do the same thing. 10/10 for sportsmanship.

Thanks! I wish I could just type @The_Good_Captai(n) in 1990 and the rules expert genie would pop out and give me the rules answers!
Yes, Victory_First or a friend of his whipped up the unit count check not long ago. It went off when I was doing combat move and ended the phase and I had 16 stacks. It’s too bad it doesn’t show a constant count of everything, but this is waaaaay better than nothing.
Thanks for the quick confirmation.
It wasn’t a total lunge because I let Egypt go as I think he’s going to take France anyway. Thanks for the props, means a lot.
