World at War game 2

Dizz, I would counter that losing your navy doesn’t mean you’re dead, just on the defensive.  I took out the Axis fleet in the Pacific, but Hisachi and Yamamoto have both been collecting in their 60s for awhile thereafter. Even with full control of the Pacific, it can take a long time to truly crush someone.

So don’t despair if you fall on hard luck, you’ll still be in the fight for some time affecting the war.

It also encourages a nice mix of units, land/air/sea, as many compliment the other.  Amphibing, inf support from planes, etc.

I also enjoy the fact that there is more back and forth, with counter strikes instead of two giant stacks and that’s it like in Global 1940.  Here there has to be some counter assaults to stop blitzing. Mechs can move THREE! and if you have a giant stack of all inf as Russia, Germany can skirt around you and threaten a capital. It’s good to have a mix of 1, 2 & 3 movement units for both offense and defense.

There are a lot more tough calls that force you to look into the future. Do I buy 3 infantry that can move 1, or 1 mech that can move 3 and support? Where is my front line going to be after counter attacks, etc.?

That would be fine Cap’n.

Thanks for the write-up and discussion, it is very helpful!

i though of an addendum for bunkers: you can only build 1 / territory / turn. So you can’t spend 60 ICs and drop 10 bunkers in a single territory. Any territory can only add 1 bunker per round.

I like the idea of not knowing who was what country.

Let’s see, do dice rolls work in PMs?  I’d assume so.  Time to PM my team and get to the rolling!

However…not knowing won’t work because you can tell who posted the turn! lol.  Unless there’s some convoluted way of making everyone log in to a common account per side just for this game.

Hmmm…

Nope.  Rolling doesn’t work in PMs.  :cry:

Heh, not unless we share a common log in name!  BEHOLD!  Is this Whack, or isn’t it?  mah ha ha!

omg….  :mrgreen:

To all of my Axis teammates (aka “The Victorious Ones”), I am very cool playing the side that no one else wants.  I find them all fascinating.  So just let me know which one you’d like me to take.  Just thought I’d through that in while I’m on break.  :D

Be nice dice!

Don’t forget, AEV, I changed the order in a later PM.  I’ll post who is what later, but right now I’ve hit my PM limit. So I guess a mass PM counts against your limit pretty hard. lol

So review my PMs for the second, jumbled order for countries.

And what do you guys think of posting via two team names so we won’t know who is what until the very end?  I think that would be very cool

@captain:

Is there really a limit on pms?

With some of the girls I’ve dated in the past, I would have to answer that question with a flat “no”….

Okay, so to ask a stupid question, since I’m new to the team thing….

Does everyone get the dice server rolls?  Or how does that work exactly?
