2016 League General Discussion Thread

@Stucifer

I don’t recall who got the first choice in Gettysburg; it may have been decided by a dice rolls at the beginning of the game. For PTV, the Axis are more vulnerable to quirky and devastating battles; whereas the Allies may have much more resilience. Recommend giving the Axis the first re-roll. My recollection is that this was used only in extreme cases, as a player did not want to give up the re-roll option to an opponent. As we are agreeing to this rule after the fact, it is too late to apply it to a G-1 battle.

@simon33 said in Booper (L+15) vs Simon33 (X) BM4:

Did you notice the airbase on N Italy?

Yes, but I missed the German planes there that could participate in the Egypt fight. Nicely done!

Somewhat similar, to how I missed the German planes in Southern Italy when you sunk my initial UK carrier in the med.

@oysteilo

Axis is more straightforward, as the powers mostly operate in their own theaters, with some occasional cross-over.
