@Grendal:

There is one problem with the neutral set up. The Axis will win after one turn once allies declares war on the true neutrals.

Untrue. Whoever declares war on the true neutrals makes all of the other neutrals ‘pro’ the other alignment. Which means they have to enter new territories during the non-combat movement instead of the attack phase. It’s actually better to be their enemies than their friends at this point, considering that all of their troops are DEAD.

Okay, I’ve done all of the work for the PTERO for the coming season, up until the point that it matters.

ANZAC will have to decide at this point whether or not it’s safe to build from this current position before the next rolls.

This means that new PTERO rolls are not required until the beginning of the French 8 turn.

@Grendal:

amerians buy a tank and next turn declare war on neutral to be able to get to western US. If not the Japanese will certainly have an eye on it. This declaration means eight turns before all the European VCs are on axis side one turn and the game is over.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

It means the Allies are not free to declare war on the neutrals, they must let the Axis do it.

Since the Allies have more money than the Axis, it is in the Axis’ interest to break neutrality ASAP and get more IPCs.

If the Axis don’t break neutrality, then the Allies will have a great material advantage.

I don’t necessarily see this as a flaw, but it is an interesting wrinkle; the Allies have political restrictions that the Axis do not.

As the Axis have economic restrictions compared to the Allies, I don’t think that this is unbalanced.

@Grendal:

it is flawed chris. play it out on local game mode.

Hmm. It’s interesting, I didn’t realize that the game counted pro-Axis neutrals as Axis-controlled VCs for the purposes of winning the game… It doesn’t come up in normal games, so TripleA probably takes some programming shortcuts. Our little variant is stretching the parameters of the game!

I didn’t check the politics bar, but here’s a quick fix for the game just in case you already declared war on the neutrals as the Allies… simply take all the victory cities throughout the world that are not currently Axis-controlled, and change the territory ownership of those places to pro-Allied neutral. That way, the game shouldn’t declare an Axis winner at the end of the turn.

Anyway, the true focus of this variant is not winning or losing, but the simple joy of moving around a murderous band of pterodactyls…  :-D

n1 Matt…this is waaaaaay too complex Chris… I liked the variation with just zombies every turn… that in itself is simple to manage & good fun
