TOTAL WORLD WAR - December 1941

[Gargantua]

This is a tripleA game?

I -might- be interested, but turns would be slow I expect.

Can I play Nazi Germany?

Yeah this is a slow game. But play forum I think solves that :D

There will be also a lot of Scrambling, because in this game you can scramble to adjacent territories, not just sea.

[Gargantua]

Do you still need to be at an Airbase?

[Noll]

Yes!

Please read the rules, if you like them we could start a 1v1.

[Gargantua]

WTF Noll this game is Crazy!!

I’m in… but I won’t start until the weekend.  (I have tournament games to plan, and this has QUITE a learning curve)

Be patient…

Also, could I invite a partner to join me?

[Gargantua]

Noll,

Tech? Or No Tech?  Advantages? Or No Advantages?

I think we had better play with the damn notices of events…

Anything else?  Dice game obviously.

[Gargantua]

And your email please?

I’ll post a turn sometime over the weekend, once i’m caught up with all my other games.

[Noll]

Yes you can invite a partner!

Tech ON (otherwise each country get a fixed tech each turn)
Notices OFF
Politics ON
Advantages ON

:)

[Gargantua]

Question…

If I spend $5 to convince “Spain” to join me… and I fail, do I get a chance at 2/10 the next turn? or is the chance still 1/10?

[Noll]

still 1/10

Gargantua,   Although the game has a bit of a slower pace,  once you gain familiarity with it it moves a bit faster.

Reading the Game Manual is pretty an essential part of getting to know this game.  There are so many new things that it really is a departure from anything A&A.

Playing on the Triple A lobby is also a good way to get familiar with the game.  Seeing other peoples games can help a lot.  Plus (as long as they don’t mind) you can ask questions in real time.

I’m there quite often.  So if you have a question drop in an give me a slap.  I have no issue with explaining anything that is not clear.  A tactical guide is also in the works for the near future to help get people up to speed.

Cheers,  hepster.

Thanks Hep!

I’ve been reviewing the rules all day! :P And the units etc, I really like what you guys have organized, this is a great game - with lots of complexities/niceties, without the frustrating stupidities - Really looking forward to playing Noll.

I also see what you mean about it getting faster/easier.  the board did seem to shrink as I started to see what was really going on. :P

Hoping to post G1 tomorrow!  Damn you guys for making it impossible to place 2 research facilities on the first turn of the game! :P

[Noll]

Eheheheheh!

There will be a lot of scrambling asking eachturn, so it will take some time to get past 1full round. But the game is WELL worth it!

[Hepps01]

Guys let me know how this goes as a play-by-forum.

To me it seems like it would be a lengthy headache due to all the scrambling and intercepting requests.

I’d be very interested in knowing how you manage.

[Noll]

Garg is not the fastest player there so this game is not reliable source

[Gargantua]

I apologize… all my games are in cryostatis atm.

12 hour work days atm :(  just trying to get to the light at the end of the tunnel!

LOL
:-D

[Gargantua]

Can subs ALONE be hit by air?

Or say I attack a cruiser with subs, can you scramble to defend it or no?

I am trying to figure out my first turn and the rules aren’t clear on that point.

[Gargantua]

NVM! Just found the answer!

[Hepps01]

Aircraft may only battle subs if a Destroyer is present.

Subs do not stop naval movements.
