    Forgot to include the Destroyer I got with the 8 IPCs I saved from buying the Transports.  It’s in there now.  My apologies for not mentioning it earlier.


  • .


  • The game has run its course. I have no interest in seeing how the remainder of the game is playing out. I have seen all I wanted to see.

  • '15

    Thanks?

    I’ll take the win.  Do you want to switch sides under the same rules - to get more data?


  • @Shin:

    Thanks?

    I’ll take the win.  Do you want to switch sides under the same rules - to get more data?

    No the rules we played under are flawed and need to be reviewed. Gamerman made notes and these notes need to be implemented before we start a new game. Also if you are going to take a win, then we continue playing. Bring up Japan. I will tear you to shreds.


  • @Shin:

    Do you want to switch sides under the same rules - to get more data?

    If you do, please make a few tweaks

    Iraq value down to 1
    6 flying tiger chits, defending on a 2
    Sydney and Calcutta are dual capitals - you lose 1/2 money if one falls, and India cannot collect from Australia/NZ, and NSW cannot collect from West India, Burma, Shan State, Hong Kong
    Reduce 3 East Russian stacks from 6 infantry to 5

    Shan State cannot be convoyed when controlled by India
    Malaya max convoy damage to India is 2 (was 1 before)
    (Malaya max convoy damage would be 3 if controlled by Australia, and India controlled by Axis)


  • @Nozdormu:

    Also if you are going to take a win, then we continue playing. Bring up Japan. I will tear you to shreds.

    Game is apparently still contested, so is not over  :-)

    I might have a couple more rule changes to try, too…  Looking over your suggestions again now


  • You are forgetting the cheesy 12 ipc the Germans can take if the Russians can’t refuse.


  • Right, I thought that went without saying, but good point

    Tacs stay at 11
    I re-thought transports and I want them to go back to 7.  I don’t want transport purchases competing with subs and tanks


  • The Russia/Japan 12 IPC loophole has been closed - I changed the document the other day.  I am updating the document with these changes, and am separately listing them for you so that you don’t have to scrutinize the whole document again


  • Oh yeah, victory cities.  I definitely want to update you on those.

    Fine with me. �I just can’t tell the intent of what you’re writing sometimes. �And the reason I suggested to play by the same rules was for the fairness aspect, since the current rules appear to disadvantage the Allies.

  • OK, I have an idea for the rules changes

    I will highlight all changes to the document from the ruleset you played game one with, in yellow.  So you can just look for the yellow highlight to see the changes.


  • I’m done updating the document, so you can review it whenever you want.

    Whenever you are going to start game 2, please be sure to review the yellow highlighted items.  Everything else is the same.  Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have concerns.  I’m very happy you guys are planning to play another game, with tweaks.

  • '15

    One minor change that you might consider - Perhaps Korea could be a VC rather than Manchuria?  It’s generally traded with the Allies more often, so it would be more interesting.
