Better then the 8D dice system.

@Mr-Kell Ah yes they do but you can’t get the infantry to Paris before Germany can but you can get the fighter so that adds on defense. If you pay attention to what I set up, it’s still pretty damn favorable for Germany, it just has to bring in the airforce to make it a victory.

YG wanted to solve some balance issues, not just toying with 8 dices.
At least, he might get credits with tweaking subtly with balance without radical change.

@Narvik:

You are in luck, Eagle games already makes this kind of dice

Great!

@Carolina:

I went with blank d6 - 5 colors, and applied 1 dot, 2 dots, …. 5 dots on each color set.  Now, is there a discussion on which color get how many dots?  Leaning towards, yellow 1, black 2, red 3, blue 4, green 5.  Also, are the 2 dots opposite or adjoining sides?  (So many decisions!!!)

Sure, Carolina. That’s why I prefer my original 1-4 polyhedral dice option: no decisions!  :-D

I am new to playing on TripleA, but I noticed that “normal” dice on TripleA doesn’t seem to be so normal. I often see 3 @ 1 getting 1 hit or 2 hits way more often then when actually throwing dice on a table top. This seems to occur often when it’s more important like AAA during a S Bombing Raid. On table top I prefer normal dice. But on TripleA, I’m starting to like the LL dice option more.

Sometimes I think the TripleA “normal” dice is even worse than LL. Any thoughts and or agreement on this.

@knp7765:

Oh yeah, you need to play the game all the way to the bitter end. Don’t let the Axis surrender. You have to smash ALL their precious units and take that capital.

In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan the Barbarian (who was himself quoting Genghis Khan): “Crush enemies…see them driven before you…hear the lamentations of the women.”  In the context of Global 1940, “the lamentations of the women” probably refers to the lady of the house saying “Haven’t you guys finished playing yet?” sometime around 2:00 o’clock on a Sunday morning.

LOL… my drunken games of Classic Edition with 4AM finishes were over years ago, now it’s a 9AM to 9PM time slot (maybe a little longer if ask nicely), but it won’t be long before we’re limited to playing Bridge and Lawn Bowling.

Its very important that the prices are also different for each nation when you use D12.

Actually to reflect the historic circumstances it can’t a clean cut penalty for all captured territories.

Some original territories were historically conquered.
Also some territories are colonies, they hate both Axis and Allies.
