League G40 Team Game - Stucifer/Crockett36 v Daaras/FranceNeedsMorePower
-
@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!

@Stucifer Hey what does no major neutral powers mean? Read that on headlesshorseman2. It’s part of the 42 tournament rules.
-
@crockett36 I believe it refers to the fact that the playable countries like Japan, USA and USSR start fully at war with all the relevant powers. They aren’t neutral to any of the unaligned powers like they are in G40 at the start.
-
whose up? Happy Thanksgiving!
-
@crockett36 English major and I wrote whose! Who Is up?
-
@crockett36 Happy Thanksgiving!
@daaras is up with USSR, but do we want to continue? Feels like an Allied victory to me -
@Stucifer I will gladly accept the resignation :) that was a fun game!
