@crockett36 Despite my good rolls, I redid it because of the illegal moves. Scaled back the attack on DNG and didn’t send the figs against the Phil Islands.
-
@crockett36 Any problems, let me know and I will suffer the consequences. It’s the best resolution I could come up with. My apologies. Suggestions are welcomed.
-
@crockett36 I’m just confused a bit, if you could just give me a quick simple run down. Nice rolls by the way. I’m not understanding the problem though or how one is even possible created. Do I not just use the last save file you sent?
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower @crockett36 France, use the most recent file he posted. He explains everything in the video, and is a man of true honor. I understand the rule, but I would not have caught it.
-
@Daaras Thank you sir!
-
@crockett36 @Daaras @Stucifer Just to let you guys know I more than likely will not get to this till monday or tuesday.
-
We will all be busy this weekend at the tournament! See y’all there
-
@Stucifer @Daaras @crockett36 I don’t know but you guys but I had a great time. Really hope they do it again. I’d be curious to hear about your games in small detail if you don’t mind. If you would like to hear about mine look below if no no worries.

Game 1, my Father and I played the Allies and we gave a bid +7 to the axis. I have never seen my Father roll better dice in my whole life. We rolled so many 1’s, for example our AAA took down 2 fighters and a tac in a battle in Leningrad, and the two China guys in the round 1 yunnan battle took down 8 guys and 1 cannon. Eventually we lossed in the pacific due to victory city conditions. The Americans and Jap’s tried switching capitals, they tried taking San Francisco we tried tokyo but both of us failed. He won by getting Hawaii and India.
-
Game 2, my Father and I played the Allies we gave a +9 bid to the axis. Again great dice from my Father. He must have got some trick or something. Our entire fleet of the Solomon islands survived and Japan did the standard attack to, and they lost all of their units. Germany was actually about to get to Moscow maybe in 3 more rounds or so. That game we won, using a middle earth fleet to take the dutch islands.
-
Game 3, my Father and I played the Axis and got a 10 bid. As Japan we lost 7 transports for free so that changed the whole game. We did not do bad and maybe given another turn or two could still have had a shot but we lost.
I had a great time hope you guys did to! I will get my turn in tomorrow hopefully.

It was great to meet you all. I had a great time, but was tempted with envy, watching you all play, wondering how I would have done. Look forward to doing it again.

@FranceNeedsMorePower @crockett36
We played Allies all three games and had a ton of fun. Looking forward to the next tournament!
- Game 1 we played against Panzercraft (they won the tournament). They took Axis at +10 and bid a fighter to attack the Indian Ocean fleet in 39. Round 1 of battle they had four @3s and one @4 and rolled all misses. Then the final battle on Italy’s turn came down to a 55-45 chance battle in Spain…and I rolled all misses round 2 to defend. We had a tiebreak loss at 125 IPCs - an epic game! (about 9.5 hours all said and done)
- Game 2 & Game 3 were a lot of fun. Game 3 we did a VC defense of Sydney and India in case they tried to win with 6 in the Pacific. We bought 4 bombers with Russia round 5 but these games both only went 5 rounds so they didn’t get used which was too bad haha
We really think having a set 6-round game and then doing the chess clocks to keep both teams honest on using too much time would be really good for the competitiveness of the game. Not knowing for sure if the game is going to go 5 or 6 rounds (or 7 if you’re playing fast? is that possible!) I thought made it really hard to plan as you need to know for your round 2 buys with a lot of powers especially USA.
What do you think about this?
That's 'cause a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose.
-
@Stucifer Totally agree that rounds might be a better standard. I do think that past round x (depending on the version) the only units that will make it will be the bombers.
-
@crockett36 US is up!
-
@crockett36 You should try the tournament next time :)
-
@crockett36 I know I have just been really busy getting back in the swing of things. It’s also my birthday weekend and we are doing activities (meaning my family and I), so I should be able to take it soon like on tuesday.

@Stucifer About round numbers, our first and second games we could have made it to 6 rounds. But we did/could not due to victory conditions and there being no way to overturn them. What was the time for you guys like, was it skewed? We did a lot of pre-turn planning to the Axis were spending way more time than us. I would recommend that, no one else we played quite did that on the scale we did. It is also the first tournament for many folks like myself, usually in GenCon you can at least make it to round 6. My strategies as the Axis also aim for a round 7, which… became an issue on the last game, (we only did 5 rounds). All of our opponents spent way to much time as the Axis. Even the last time our Allied opponents spend almost 2 hours more than us, and spent 10 mins on purchasing. I get it, btu still they should be doing more pre-planning. The USA’s buy’s do not need to and should not plan for anything pass a round 5. All you need to do is defend Hawaii and maybe Sydney, and drop some drops off in Europe or something. My tip is, first buy is all Europe, then the rest of the game is all Pacific. And that worked really well for us! Does that answer the question?

@FranceNeedsMorePower happy birthday!
