Matt’s got the right idea.

Kraken’s going to India!

Which means that next turn, he’ll have 4 possible directions to go…

First effect of the Kraken = No new UK ships entering the Indian Ocean…

Christ all that KRAKEN talk, and now we’ve got Japanese chaos to figure out:

BTW Carl, since I’m here and rolling, do you have any Japanese you’d care to teleport this turn??

@Grendal:

What about cutting supply when it’s on a shipping marker in the ocean? (kraken)

Great idea for the physical board game; but I don’t know how I’d possibly implement it on TripleA.

Plus, we’ve already got a fair amount of bookkeeping to keep track of in this game.

One way to manage the complexity would be to dial back the chaos probability to 1d8 or 1d9; then you’d only expect one development per round (although, even at current levels here we are in Round 5 and only have 6 development).

What do you think of that proposal? Or do you feel that the current rate of complications is manageable for the players?

WAR OF THE WORLDS

Seeing that the humans have been weakened by constant struggle against each other, evil aliens choose this time to strike!

A fleet of hostile FLYING SAUCERS appear over every victory city on Earth!!

Death rays fall from above on all the strategic centers of the world!!!

Unilateral peace is declared in this emergency situation: no nation may attack another nation until every last FLYING SAUCER on Earth is destroyed.

All FLYING SAUCERS take 4 hits in one turn to kill, and instantly destroy 1d4 units in every victory city where they remain, at the beginning of every Japanese turn, until they are destroyed.

Stand by for the first wave of attacks…

One important fact to note:

FLYING SAUCERS are only vulnerable at the time they attack, at the beginning of each Japanese turn.

They can only be hit by Anti-Aircraft (1), Bombers (1), Tactical Bombers (3), and Fighters (4).

They will take the weakest units as casualties, but will destroy the very infrastructure of the land if there are no defenders.

Oh, and I was joking about that whole “World Peace” thing. You can still attack each other. The aliens don’t care.

They will keep raining death on these key locations once per season, whoever owns them.

That’s it!

The first FLYING SAUCER of 19 has been destroyed by the combined forces of the Allies in London airspace: the real Battle of Britain has been won!!

Only 18 left to go… Hope rises in the chest of humanity once more!!!

Carl, please use the attached file: the smoking ruins of the world are yours to exploit or protect, as you see fit.

I moved the KRAKEN for you.

Ah, and now that this development is complete, it’s your time to decide whether or not TELEPORTATION is something you still want to do.

This is the last time I’ll remind you of the ability… Just thought with all the chaos going on I was my responsibility to keep the game on track.

Saucer Attack 1 Complete.tsvg

thank you kind sir

now is the time…

2 msn in japan - please teleport
2 men in kiangsuu - please teleport

Japan pod results:

Rolling 1d15:
(11)

Kiangsu pod results:

Rolling 1d15:
(10)

and if these couunt…the 2 on caroline island please transport

if its too late…nps

The Japan pod goes on its merry way:

Rolling 1d191:
(89)

However, perhaps because of the FLYING SAUCER attack, something goes wrong with the Kiangsu pod: the teleportation machine malfunctions, and SCATTERS your army! Each division ends up in a different location!

Rolling 2d191:
(48, 155)

(There’s no industrial complex on Caroline Island… so no teleportation!)
