2014 G40 league rules

    luck (or as is true in Infrastructure’s case, the lack thereof) creates the need for strategy modifications.


  • If I live infinitely all the luck will balance out right?  Or does it carry over into the next life?  Or does luck not exist and it is all fate?  Destiny?  Destiny’s Child?

    “I dont know I cant figure it all out tonight, I just want to hang with your daughter.”


  • Proverbs 16:33  :-o


  • I knew my questioning of the reasons for the deuteronomists writing the new testament was going to come back to haunt me.  But why!  Why does it have to be in Axis and Allies?!?!?!?!


  • ?? Proverbs is OT and is attributed to King Solomon…


  • my bad.  misquoting the books of the bible is probably the reason for my latest rash of bad luck…


  • Morning all. I wanted to say that I will start playing another League game very soon. I just prefer the stress free camaraderie playing among friends, especially team games. Did not want you to think I had forgotten I am in the  League.
    I am also very aware that I am not and should not be in Tier 1. I will  lose my next game and be put in my rightful place! Should be soon, as I have an opponent lined up. Leo

    How do you know it’s morning when they read your post, wittman?  eh?  :P

    Sorry, in a sarcastic mood this very fine 8th of May.

    Doesn’t everyone wake up and check the forum first?

    Nope, only those of us who are in need of a support group for our addictions. =^_^=

    You are barely tier 1 at the minimum 3.50, and Points per game/ratings often aren’t very accurate until you’ve completed about 5-6 games…  If you are going to lose your next game, yes your PPG will drop quite a bit  :-)

    I know I do!


  • I realise, thank you Gamerman. Never expected to be a 1. Was a shock.
    I know my limitations, make errors and play very conservatively.
    I am unable to think out of the box and know many players moves would throw and confuse me.

    Sleazy exploitation of rule:

    Park UK dd off Hainan amidst Japanese fleet to prevent from loading J2 or 3.

    The US is precluded from moving dd next to J terr.  UK and Anzac should also be restricted.

    It’s a nice trick not every player knows about and should stay. This, strafing and some crazy naval moves giving ships one more range are examples of differences between good and excellent players.

    Besides, the Japanese player can easily bypass this by already loading the units before (or not unloading them).


  • The move you describe requires the UK to not declare war, and ANZAC to declare war, so it is not without its costs.
    UK cannot collect NO, and ANZAC makes unprovoked DOW on Japan, keeping USA out.  And as Roboto said, there are things you can do.  Like not leaving a mass of transports all in one place and counting on them to be able to load.  It is sleazy, and Wheatbeer pulled it against me is how I found out.  But he paid a price, and it was more gimmicky than anything.

    Oh, you also are forfeiting a UK destroyer - even if it hits the Japanese just absorb it without loss

    Actually no allied DOW is necessary.  If Japan does an unprovoked DOW, the sea zone becomes hostile before the combat move and (by the rules) prevents the load although TripleA will allow it.

    Yes, a Japanese player that expects it can just keep the tt’s loaded - if they know about it.  It is gimmicky and a bit sleazy, but I’m not above using it myself so long as it exists so meh.  Although I’d feel much better about using it if there was a clear example about that scenario in the rules.

    Be aware that TripleA does allow Japan to load and move tt’s in this scenario, so if you pull it on an unknowing newbie and they just load/move out of it, expect a long debate and maybe some bad blood with rolling back that turn.

    Caveat: Karl did just pull this stunt on me.  I sort of knew about it but never seen anyone actually do it, so I’d count myself as unsuspecting rather than unknowing.  I walked into it so it’s my own fault.  No worries, my Japan game needed a little creativity anyhow.

    …and he did just trap a sizable Japanese force on the mainland that he has to deal with - heh


  • No, there is an exception for when you first declare war.  See page #12, blue side bar, last part of first paragraph.

    This sleazy move requires an unprovoked DOW by ANZAC

    Well Golllly - there it is in black (blue?) and white :)

    That explains it pretty clearly - my post was wrong but now I understand the in’s and out’s of it.

    I guess that’s why you’re the Rules Deputy - heh.
