Aa risk

@DarthMaximus:

laststrike I’ll send you a PM with my email for rolls.

Got it. Inxduk or Dezrtfish, if either of you want to receive the other side of the emails, let me know.

I’d rather not but If nessacery I will. :)

I think it is important that every one understands and agrees to the Infantry placement rule I suggested. It is directly from the World at War rules and changes the dynamics of the game quite a bit. I suggested it because it is more “Risk Like”

If you have any questions or don’t like the rule say something quick before we start.

No, it’s fine with me.
But you can’t place in newly acquired territories, right?

Or at least that would be my suggestion. You can only place in territories that you held at the beginning of you turn.

That is correct, I should have mentioned that. :oops:

This is a direct quote from the third edition World at War rules:

1.1 Infantry: Any territory may be used to build additional troops without the placing of factories. However, these rules must apply: 1. The Territory or Area must have a point value. 2. The Territory must have been friendly held for at least one turn. (changed) 3. Troops being build may only be infantry. 4. Infantry pays the normal cost. 5. The placing of infantry in a non factory Area is restricted to the point value of the Area.
EXAMPLE: Brazil has a point value of three. The owning player may build up to three infantry per turn, without having to build a factory.

1.2 Factories: Factories may only be build in Areas that have a printed point value. The number of pieces being built is restricted to the point value of the Area. Factories may not produce Infantry.
EXAMPLE: Brazil has point value of three. The owning player may build up to three units of any type and also place up to three infantry per turn.

Except for the point value part this is what I had in mind.

Inxduk - If you feel we are swaying too far from what you invisioned, then maybe we should reconsider that rule. As I said before, you started this thread and should have ultimate say in whether we play by a rule or not.

For me it does not matter as long as we are all playing by the same rules. I am pretty sure Dzrt and Darth feel the same.

We are all ready to play when you are. We have kinda nominated you to go first. Please post your capital selection over at the game thread. Also, let me know if you want to receive dicey emails or want to rely soley on the dicey log.

I’d be more then happy to play with the more A&A type rules. My initial concern was based on building a new factory where you could only place 2 units. It just didn’t seem like enough units to place for a 15 IPC investment. That’s why I liked the 2 inf-2 other for new complexes. But I’d feel fine if we did away with the 2 inf per territory and stuff. We can even do away with the 2-2 for new complexes. I can live with just being able to place 2 units total, to make it easier.
I agree with Laststrike, if you would like to nix a rule go ahead, you did start this game and should not feel obligated to play in a way you didn’t envision.

Yep, I don’t care either,

JUST POST YOUR CAPITAL!!!

I now have 3 locations picked so that when My turn comes I will be ready with the best choice :o

Just thinking - I think I’d like to do away with the 2 inf per territory thing. I think this may eliminate a lot of the strategy in the game. Whereas, if you only have a capital and new complexes you have to plan out more of your attacks and reinforcements, etc.
Just my opinion. But I will play which ever way is decided upon.

Whoa, that was weird, dezrt’s post came out of nowhere.

I too have many different capital locations in mind.

I think we posted at nearly the same time. I probably just beat you by a few seconds, because I was thinking the same thing about yours :)

ok fine i didn’t want to go first…
why don’t we play the rules posted before this time, next time we can add new stuff ok?

I pick algeria
dicey logs are fine, could post a link to them to make it easier since emailing everyone is such a pain…

btw this is lnxduk posting a guest

@Inxduk:

why don’t we play the rules posted before this time, next time we can add new stuff ok?

I take this to mean you want to play with the W@W infantry rule that Dezrtfish suggested. If this is not so, let us know.

I will post your pick on the Game thread and make my selection.

Regarding dicey, Darth and I will receive the emails. I will post a link for the dicey roller and the dicey log on the game thread as well.

Is everyone okay with picking each of their other 4 territories one at a time? I think it would be unfair if everyone got to pick all 4 at one time. I think there is a lot of strategy involved in the inital picks.

I know the downside is that it is going to slow down the actual start of the game, but like I said, I think it is important.

…Now that I think about it, maybe it makes sense for each player to pick 2 territories at a time. This would speed things up dramatically.

Let me know what you think.

laststrike

I don’t have a problem with picking 2 territories at time if the others agree.

2 at a time is fine with me
