G40 - Yoshi vs. Boldfresh - game 1 of 2

    hang on, forgot about china troops

  • '12

    here you go


  • Why the combat results are not the same than the dice I got ? (not meaning you’re cheating or anything like that, you edited it back well… just wondering).

  • '12

    i sometimes do that if i have clicked done on noncom and want to do a bunch of edits, or if tripleA has frozen on me, which sometimes happens if i have too many windows open on my laptop.  so i just go back to the last map save and redo the combat rather than do a bunch of manual edits.  i am trying to remember to save my map immediately after combat so i can reload at start of noncom, which still doesn’t work in the case of a tripleA freeze but oh well.

    If this battle was so crucial, I think that means the game was already on the axis side…

    still playing that one or not finally ?

  • '12

    well, i would say the game is on the axis side now yes.  but losing more ftrs than i should have puts it MORE on the axis side of course.  yeah, as i said, let’s continue a round.

    I actually dunno how the axis will win, but I do not see them loosing, and economy being on axis side, I guess it is just a matter of time. But the US are still very big, and can do a lot of damage ; an all in on one side (like the one going through Japan currently) might work… but in the same time being sure that the other part of the globe will not fall on the VC conditions… that looks tough.

    Anyway, obviously no problem looking a little further, I’m actually interested in it :)

    I guess you wanna move your z33 sub somewhere ?

  • '12

    oh yes the sub was meant to go with the rest of the fleet.  you know, you cannot lose on one side of the board as the axis - that is one of the very important things to understand.

  • '12

    only the allies can lose on one side of the board.  i could hold every victory city in europe but as long as you go a full turn with 6 pacific VC’s, YOU WIN.  cheesy victory conditions in my opinion….  they work great for about the first 8 rounds but then they kindof go off the rails in my experience.


  • Yeah I know, but I guess that if you’re able to control half of the map while not loosing to the VC conditions, you will probably win the game at some point…

    But for sure these VC give a disadvantage to the allies

    it’s impossible to lose to the victory conditions as axis - i have literally never seen it.  the axis just gives up when it’s clear they will never gain their victory conditions.  you know what the victory conditions are for the allies right? they must hold berlin, rome, AND tokyo for a full round of play.
