@Gamerman01:

Congratulations to Entek on his first win

I finally figured out how to show the text at the bottom that was getting truncated.  Seems in Google docs you have to merge cells - it doesn’t just automatically spill over to the next cell like in Excel.

Thank you!

I have to report another loss.  In my one hope to win I had 4 US Artys invading against 2 German Soldiers in Denmark which would have opened the door to get Berlin, but I rolled poorly and lost.  Good game CW!  Thanks for playing.

Shoot!  Sounds like it was the right move to make!  Nothing’s guaranteed with dice

I sort of made up for it in another game, where a Strategic bomber defended against a tank and an infantry!

i find it amusing a guy with a 3-25 record is tagged for cheating…

[gamerman01]

3 wins for the Allies so far today!

Allied win pct is up to .445

Pretty sure Allies have won more then half the past month or two….

I guess I could start tracking it by month…

[tcnance]

question, in my game against unknown soldier he has 6 pacific VC’s yet the usa owns italy……does he get a VC win without controlling all of his own capitals?

[seth4god]

yes

[gamerman01]

You only need one capital, and it doesn’t even have to be the one on the board you’re getting the win on (wouldn’t have to be Tokyo)

How’s this for a laugher?
The Allies win after controlling all 3 Axis capitals for an entire round of play,
AS LONG AS they also control at least one Allied capital…  :roll:

Paris counts.  Calcutta and Sydney don’t

[boldfresh]

calcutta and sydney don’t count?

[gamerman01]

Rule book says Moscow, London, Washington, Paris as a definition of Allied Capitals, and it doesn’t say “for example”

as we know, we cannot always take the rulebook word for word.  :roll:

Good dice beat good tactics any day of the week, and twice on somedays (I did not forget the space, I did that deliberately.)

If you don’t own Moscow OR London OR Washington OR Paris you really shouldn’t be allowed to win the game, in fact how did you not LOSE the game? Moscow, London and Washington are controlled by the Axis and you still failed to win?

[gamerman01]

That’s my point, Jenn
It’s ridiculous to say you have to control one.

Would make more sense to say you must control ALL Allied capitals, or all but one or something.

It would be virtually impossible to control all 3 Axis capitals for a full round and NOT control at least 2-3 of the major Allied capitals, so it’s just a silly rule.

[seth4god]

It’s kind of a superflous rule IMHO. 99% of the time the axis will surrender way before the point where they’ve lost their capitals. Usually axis players will throw in the towel once they realize that they’ve reached their high water mark and they can’t grab the VCs they need to win. They know it’s just a matter of time before the allies win.

If my opponent made me mad, I’ll sometimes require him to WIN before I give up the game.  So it MAY come into effect, but honestly, even then, it’s “fine, you have Berlin” or “okay, well you have Tokyo so…”  never all 3.

[gamerman01]

Right - effectively the object of the game for the Allies is to DENY the 8/6 victory cities.

If they achieve that, they’ve won, because of course if the Axis don’t win…. the Allies do.
