I’m looking for some G40 forum action. Either side is fine by me. I’m sharpening up my Allied skills, though currently having 3 games as the Allies on the go i wouldn’t mind being the Axis either.

IM me and we can get it started. I promise several turns a day.

Maby if the allies are winning they could make your stay at the game verry annoying.
Once japan lost its fleet and has the US parked around its mainland its as good as dead.

So maby the allied player could first capture all the islands japan has with a single transport. Your turn will consist of skipping because no money and nothing to move. Allied player will have all countries to play with guess you will get bored from the game.

@thedesertfox

Yeah, I’ve read that and I believe it. I think until 1943 or 1944 the Americans had more ground units in the Pacific?

Yeah, the US built a ton of ships. For some reason the US never gets to seemingly similar numbers in the game.

@Ichabod:

Max Moscow purchases until the Allies prove that it will be defended G6. Than at that point defend and go for the economic victory.

And if the Allies are dropping enough into Moscow to keep it, Japan should be absolutely owning the Pacific and bringing in 70+ ipcs.

Yeh if left alone like they were Anzac can amass quite a fleet and then do some real work. Subs are cheep so if you can keep your transports alive they can be the backbone of a naval fleet to push and at the very least pull some Japan fleet away from other key positions.

@mantlefan:

Lowluck (for the person who asked) is where you add up the combat value of units on each side of a battle in each round, divide by 6 (and that’s how many hits you get), and roll one die for the remainder determining whether or not to add one more hit.

For example,

6 Artillery are attacking 4 tanks for some reason

Attacker
6 Art, each has Attack value of 2.
6x2=12
12/6=2

So the attacker does 2 hits, no rolling necessary.

The defender has 4 tanks.
4 tanks, each defends at 3
4x3=12
12/6=2

So the attacker does 2 hits.

So what happens when the total is not easily divisible by 6
For example,

Attacker has
2 inf, 1 art, 3 tanks.

1 inf: 1
1 inf with artillery support: 2
1 Art: 2
3 tanks: 9 (3x3)

1+2+2+9=14

14/6 =2, with a remainder of 2.
So gets 2 automatic hits, plus they roll one die at 2 to try to get a third hit.

Thanks for the explanation.
