Gamerman's G40 Laegue House Rules Playtest Shin Ji (Axis) vs Nozdormu (Allies)

[Shin-Ji]

Ah.  I thought that was just a repeat of the Japan/USSR rules and missed that bit.

Definitively a good rule to have.

[Guest]

I don’t think the convoy damage is accurate. I count 20 convoy damage and you only took 11.

[Guest]

I am going to wait on Gamerman on this one. I want to know for certain the convoy damage is accurate.

[gamerman01]

@Nozdormu:

One note. You are not allowed to move units into former Russian Territory without a declaration of war. It is in the new rules. So you are not allowed to fly over former Russian Territory and that lone AA gun has to be moved back. I didn’t notice it before, but it hasn’t been a full turn yet.

I’m glad you guys both like the DOW rule that prohibits the cheese of following your allies into enemy territory without a DOW

[Shin-Ji]

I broke it down like this:

5 in 36 (max 3)
2 in 20
4 in 19
2 in 6

So a total of 11.  New rules on convoying don’t come into play.

[gamerman01]

@Nozdormu:

I am going to wait on Gamerman on this one. I want to know for certain the convoy damage is accurate.

I’m here and can check now

[Shin-Ji]

D’oh!  I forgot we aren’t rolling anymore!

[Shin-Ji]

OK, by using the new no rolls convoy, I count 16 damage total.

Not sure where you’re getting 20 from.  Am I overlooking something?

[gamerman01]

I get 14?

[gamerman01]

Don’t each of the subs do 2 damage and there are 7 subs - no maximums exceeded?

[Shin-Ji]

Hrm.

2 in 36
4 in 20
4 in 19
4 in 6

Yea, that does look like 14.

[gamerman01]

You guys have a heck of a game going, no?  What round is it actually?  :-)

So I needed more submarines to get the maximum in ALL TT’s? I thought it was counted for each TT. At least that is what I could make out of the rules.

Round 13.

@Gamerman01:

That was Japan 13 if I haven’t lost count. :P

I’m thinking this game might be too well balanced.  We might be able to go back and forth like this forever.

(now watch as Noz pulls his win move out of nowhere!)
