In addition to this, any of your ships in the sea zone when the combat are presumed to have taken place in combat. The only way to avoid this is to move them during combat movement (even if the move does not result in combat).
Since I have joined Triplea, I had more success playing with no bid than bid.
Do you think that’s because when you get a bid you bite off more than you can chew, or did you play the same?
I see you often do Taranto, SZ 96, and Ethiopia. If you don’t change a thing, but still accept a bid and use it just for those battles, then it I’d think you’d be just as successful. Should just increase the odds of those battles. A bid might lead to UK Europe sending fighters to Moscow quicker while the US and company hammer Japan.
Actually I have played differently with no bid and I started to put more pressure in Pacific first and it seems to work out better, because lot of times seems like the Japan player starts panicking and do not know what to do or gets offcourse in their plans… The only time I have struggled is against you Icha :)
I have to say I like the idea of giving all nations more money. Perhaps each nation collects their normal income + national objective income and then adds 2d6 bonus economy to add in randomness?
That should only average an extra 6 IPC per nation (6.090909… really) but would be flexible enough to give only +2 or as much as +12 both of which could add some flair and randomness to the game.
Years ago chess was the G40 of it’s day. A beginners guide to analysis. Much as G40 lends itself. It could be used by any military instructor of any nation. And on a side note these United States are the freest states in the world for the individual. You can’t beat it anywhere. This nation of United States is the “shake-n-bake” of nation building. If all nations followed the rule book we follow, might find that militaries are no longer needed but be prepared for possible interplanetary encounters. So G40 will still be useful in planting seeds or new conscripts.
Yes, Carriers and aircraft move independently, but the rulebook just states, that warships may not move …! It states nowhere, that aircraft can’t move to any seazone. They are not allowed to land on any allied terretorry or aircraftcarrier, but they can of course fly ther and if there is a legal landing spot, land there. The planes are not restricted to not move into the atlantic, they (in most cases) can’t land and therefore can’t stay there.
