[gamerman01]

Yeah, that bump totally doesn’t count.  And what gives??  I gave you 6 1/2 days without bumping!

[regularkid]

Hahaha just bein a d*ck.

[gamerman01]

hehe
Well now that I’m done with nerquen I turn my attention to you

[gamerman01]

.45% chance of a destroyer taking 2 or more bombers down when attacked by 3 bombers…… jeez was that lucky

[gamerman01]

Amphibious assaults to be conducted before all other  :-P  :-)

[gamerman01]

Have you thought about bombardment rules with marines?  If a cruiser/battleship unloads a marine does that bombarding ship have to attack the territory that the marine is attacking?

Casualty choice for Z6 please
I asked a question about bombarding with marines right before the move post

[regularkid]

@Gamerman01:

Have you thought about bombardment rules with marines?  If a cruiser/battleship unloads a marine does that bombarding ship have to attack the territory that the marine is attacking?

Yes we did give it some thought. For game-related reasons that I frankly can’t remember, it was ultimately agreed there should be no limitation on territory bombardment vis-a-vis marine unloading. So with marines, you’re free to bombard a different territory than u unload into.

[regularkid]

Just do default casualty selection plz

Ooh - I don’t know if I could remember that…… any chance it can go in the game notes??

[regularkid]

Sure. I’ll put a note in the next installment.

One thing I do wanna try to work out is a bidding system for Axis (to the extent it is necessary. . . I note that the Axis/Allies win ratio stands at about 50/50 right now).

I’m still partial to the idea of bidding NO-related territories or islands, rather than the NOs themselves. Keeps the NOs in play (with all the strategic depth/dynamism they add to the game), and requires less edit mode throughout the course of the game. I’m playing a league game right now, for example, where Axis was given Crete and Gilbert Islands to start. Seems to work pretty good. Thoughts?

That’s not bad, except kind of messes with history
I think the extra ANZAC NO should be removed from the game, and leave the Guinea one at 3.  I think ANZAC is always over-represented anyway.  In classic they just had like 2 infantry that sat there and did nothing - hehe

I think you might reconsider the sacking capital rules except for Paris - that would help the Axis a bit too and I think would be more balanced.  So Paris IPC’s can only be taken once in the game, but leave the rest.  The good thing about that is you change the 2nd edition rules less

The league balanced game results are a very small sample size, and if you want to get any meaning out of them, you need to look closely at the skill levels of the players in each game, for starters.
