[Shin-Ji]

Am I supposed to still have the Destroyer in z112?  The log indicates it was sunk.

[Shin-Ji]

Oh, never mind.  That’s a US Destroyer.  So hard to tell.

[Guest]

Just imagine it belongs to the Third Reich and let it live :evil:

Forgot to include the Destroyer I got with the 8 IPCs I saved from buying the Transports.  It’s in there now.  My apologies for not mentioning it earlier.

The game has run its course. I have no interest in seeing how the remainder of the game is playing out. I have seen all I wanted to see.

[Shin-Ji]

Thanks?

I’ll take the win.  Do you want to switch sides under the same rules - to get more data?

[Guest]

@Shin:

Thanks?

No the rules we played under are flawed and need to be reviewed. Gamerman made notes and these notes need to be implemented before we start a new game. Also if you are going to take a win, then we continue playing. Bring up Japan. I will tear you to shreds.

[gamerman01]

@Shin:

Do you want to switch sides under the same rules - to get more data?

If you do, please make a few tweaks

Iraq value down to 1
6 flying tiger chits, defending on a 2
Sydney and Calcutta are dual capitals - you lose 1/2 money if one falls, and India cannot collect from Australia/NZ, and NSW cannot collect from West India, Burma, Shan State, Hong Kong
Reduce 3 East Russian stacks from 6 infantry to 5

Shan State cannot be convoyed when controlled by India
Malaya max convoy damage to India is 2 (was 1 before)
(Malaya max convoy damage would be 3 if controlled by Australia, and India controlled by Axis)

[gamerman01]

@Nozdormu:

Also if you are going to take a win, then we continue playing. Bring up Japan. I will tear you to shreds.

Game is apparently still contested, so is not over  :-)

I might have a couple more rule changes to try, too…  Looking over your suggestions again now

[Guest]

You are forgetting the cheesy 12 ipc the Germans can take if the Russians can’t refuse.

[gamerman01]

Right, I thought that went without saying, but good point

Tacs stay at 11
I re-thought transports and I want them to go back to 7.  I don’t want transport purchases competing with subs and tanks

[gamerman01]

The Russia/Japan 12 IPC loophole has been closed - I changed the document the other day.  I am updating the document with these changes, and am separately listing them for you so that you don’t have to scrutinize the whole document again

[gamerman01]

Oh yeah, victory cities.  I definitely want to update you on those.
