League House Rule Playtest - Soulblighter (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

  • '15

    UK pacific doesn’t exist anymore.  It’s all UK.  Uk has 50 (55 from TT according to the board, but 5 TTs were downgraded).


  • So how does that work when spending IPC’s?

  • '15

    Spend them as you like.  Then place what you buy in Canada, London, SOuth Africa, India, NSW, or anywhere else you have a British IC.

    As always, liberal use of Edit Mode may be required.


  • When has this changed? I don’t recall this the previous time we played and I can’t find it in the google doc from Gamerman.

  • '15

    Perhaps I misunderstood- But i thought the UK economies were merged?  Anzac no longer exists and is merged into the UK after all.


  • Like you already stated, I am also certain that UK pacific and Anzac have merged. UK pacific now has 2 capitals. If Calcutta falls, then Sydney can still produce units, but won’t be able to get ipcs from certain areas (West India, India, Hong Kong etc) and visa versa. If Sydney falls, then NZE won’t give any ipcs to Calcutta. If the UK can spend ipcs anywhere then you end up with extremely cheesy tactics. I think we should wait for Gamerman.

  • '15

    I think you’re probably right, but none of that is in the rules document.

    I agree we should get Gamerman to clarify.

  • '15

    While we’re at it, we should get the starting cash for each country in the document too.


  • @Shin:

    While we’re at it, we should get the starting cash for each country in the document too.

    Yeah. I kinda dislike not having it in the document either. Would make it less confusing as well. If the doc had the starting ipcs for each country, then we wouldn’t have had this discussion in the first place :P.

  • '15

    Well, it’s all good.  We’re here to shake out the bugs after all.


  • Speaking of which. Europe UK should be the same as Pacific UK. Regarding Canada. I mean. If mainland Britain would fall, then Canada would keep on fighting. Not sure how this would work out in the game tho.

    Which makes the air base, which I ordered pointless :P, which also makes the fleet movement I had planned pointless :P, which which which… I am not calling anything just jet… but I am pretty confident I am screwed :P.
