@Omni Don’t forget about our game…

@ArtofWar1947 Sounds good, we can use that rule in our next game.

@Stucifer I understand. I do like it as a touchstone. I honor it as the foundation of everything else. I will always be willing to play it. It is the lingua franca for the normies to pick up the game. I think we should be able and willing to translate 42 or any variation back to the “masses” and the new players.

Funny, J1 is rather out of fashion in the games I play. I’m not in the running as a great player, but I wouldn’t agree that it is scripted on the allied side. Unsurprisingly, I find the German play monotonous.

All that being said, the lack of love 42 gets here is…silly. If you accept the victory conditions and the time limit, it is a wild ride of trying to maintain an edge all over the map. Really unique.
