Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

[Elrood]

Persia and China went well below expected average.

Hawaii was too secure… I couldn’t take it.

Might change next turn!  :evil:

No China, so will do that for Mark. If he wants to change it he can edit when doing UK.

Congratulations and total bollocks again.
Enjoy your victory

[Elrood]

new game? pls check the attached file

Oztea’s 41 1.8.0.3.tsvg

[Private-Panic]

The main differences I can see are:

• Lots more units
• DEI are all UK or Anzac’s
• France, French Africa & Syria are G’s
• FIO is J’s
• Changes in fleet positioning, such as J fleet off Midway

No change to NOs, rules or unit rostas?

Always happy to give anything a go and this might be a laugh.

But I would personally like to play allies in the 1942 variant first. I started our last game believing the axis Europe starting situation was unwinnable!

Perhaps we simply swap sides - Seb and I as allies.

Then a couple of games of this new variant, where I partner with Mark, as each side?

[Witt]

I am not fxxxing losing as the side that should have lost and have you rub  our bloody noses in it, like you are the better pair. Especially now that you know how to play the other side.
Would be a bit shit fir us.

Can’t do it unless everyone is up for it Leo.

The thought wasn’t to rub noses in anything, but to gain a fuller understanding of the variant before moving on. For example my snap judgement on the European axis was presumably wrong and I would like to find out.

But, as I say, we can only play what everyone wants. So to reiterate my previous posting - I am happy to give anything a go.

[Credulous]

Happy to do whatever. On my lunch so will have a quick look at the map now…

[Credulous]

Looks completely nuts. Particularly enjoying the damaged battleships littered around.

[Elrood]

The goal of this mod was to give a more balanced 1940 experience. With some added historical forces

(burning BB is the famous Bismarck) and Rommel finally has his tanks in Africa.

[Witt]

Looks silly. I am up for  it, if you three will still have this cry baby. Oh, and I hate you!

[Private-Panic]

Okay - lets do it. Mark and I vs the two old A&A dogs! Bring it on! 🍻

[Elrood]

What factions will we be playing? I am open either way. Both sides have offensive potential

[Credulous]

I’m not bothered, but maybe Adam and I should be allies as consensus is setup favours them?

[Witt]

Or we can do it randomly. With dice.

[Elrood]

Let me try that dice mechanism first… I haven’t really used it yet.

;dice 4;

;dice 1;

;dice 4d20;

[Elrood]

Yep that didnt work out… again:

Rolling 4:
(5, 5, 5, 6)

Rolling 1:
(3)

Rolling 4d20:
(3, 7, 12, 17)

[Elrood]

That looks better!  8-)

So now… I will roll a D6 and if i get a 1-3 then Leo and I will be playing Axis. ok?

Rolling 1:
