Alpha 3 with the following modifications:
1.) UK fleet in 91, 98, 110, 112 move to 111 (includes tac bomb on cv)
2.) Naval base in Scotland
3.) airbase on Gibraltar
4.) fighter on Malta and gib removed, moved to Scotland
5.) interceptors shoot at 2
6.) USSR Dow rights delayed to Round 6
7.) USA DOW rights delayed to Round 8
8.) One consolidated income for UK, to be used as they see fit
Ok, Noll should we selected sides randomly, or bid for it?
notify me of replies
Let’s play two games without bids.
You start as Axis! (you have more experience than me there!)
We’ll put our other game in standby for now (this means also the new one that’s still at G1)
Do we want to use the official a3 Russian NO – axis and neutral territories in Europe OR
Krieghund’s hint – axis and pro axis neutrals on the atlantic side map?
I say the original Russian NO.
Also I have a concern: #US delayed to turn@8 attack could let Japan have “fun” against Russia and cripple it badly.
What do you think of letting the URRS declaring war on any Axis player if attacked by Japan?
that sounds good to me
Ok let’s start! If we tweak this setup after some games I think I’ll propose it to my f2f group. At least the UK player will have some fun now, although the US player could be really bored.

Probability of 1 dd holding off 3 subs, 1 in 140.
Please no lectures on how after you hit two subs in a row without me getting a hit in return that the odds were 50-50, I had to attack because the sub would be sunk if it retreated.
Also please please don’t point to a battle with 50-70% odds and say that’s somehow equivalent to losing a battle with 99+% odds.

Oh my God Corrigan calm down, can’t we just have fun? I never say 1 in 140 after a battle lost. Luck is part of the game, and it’s annoying I agree.
I am laughing, I just hate it when people get great luck and they start telling you it was based on skill or I didn’t think about my retreat options or it all balances out, hey just own up to the fact that once in awhile the dice bless you.

Although Italy+Germany will be quite strong vs Russia and/or UK together with US being delayed so much! Let’s see!
