This is not looking good for me… Tricky to play the allies in this version! I almost start to feel the game is a bit unbalanced in the axis favor…! And I who thought the allies had the slight upper hand in the spring version, just like in the real war. That’s the reason why I loved playing the axis so much, the challenge. But the challenge with the allies in this version seems even bigger!
Of course my opening was far from optimal. Takes a few games to figure that out. I might play one more round, but I think the game is practically over already.
-
Actually, I think I give up now already. See no way to turn this around. Well played! Tell me if you want to play another one.
-
Certainly! I don’t mind playing a few more games to give different try.
Would you like me to play Allies or you prefer to use it? You could also add Bid if to explore.
-
I can play axis this time. I need to think about how I want to play with the allies on this map. Maybe I can get some inspiration from you, as a more experienced allied player!
Btw, do you know how does this “low luck” system work?
-
Low luck works basically like this: For example if you use 5 tanks to hit my 3 infantries. Each tank has 3 attack power, so 53/6 (always divide total by 6) and you get 62 +3 = 15. Each complete 6 means I lose 1 unit, and the remaining number is determined by dice. In this case, I lose 2 for certainty, and the 3 infantry would be lost if you roll 3 or less. For AA gun it’s a bit tricky, it seems if you put 1 AA gun you have to dice 1, but if you have 2 your plane get hit when you dice 2 or less (at least in 42 1E - I forgot how it behaves on 2E)
I think low dice gives you more predictable result since you can calculate how much to lose, but it has less dynamic as typical one since you have to be careful the bad dice doesn’t turn against you.
How about we start 1 game first with regular one and then a low luck if you want to get a taste how it works? There is also an optional rule about escort in 2E that I am always interested to try but never did it before
-
Haha, that low luck procedure is close how I calculate potential battles to see if they are worth the risk. Doesn’t always turn out like my calculations though!
Ok, we can try both. Start a regular one first whenever you’re ready. I don’t know about that escort rule. How does that work?
-
I need to check the rule again but basically it allows the fighters to escort bombers or defend during strategic bombing. Sounds like an interesting one to try …
I will set up a game later and let you know…
Cheers,
