BM3 Ichabod (X) vs Sovietishcat (A)

It’s not Global 40, but its still fun. I’m still learning all of the additional National Objectives. I believe original ones still apply.

Don’t declare war on Japan with Russia until it’s the right moment or Japan can block one of Russia’s National Objectives. I think Russia has to declare war on Japan to send troops into China. If Japan declares on Russia, Russia collects more NO money in the other 2 spots (not worth it for Japan).

On a side note, in a table top G40 group I used to play with 1-3 a year, we had a house rule. No Japanese troops into any Russian territory or Mongolians join. Russians into China and Mongolians don’t join. It pretty much kept Russia and Japan out of the conflict.

Rough G1 for me. Lost 2 planes (1 was shot down in Pais) and whiffed in Paris with the ground rolls. There was a moment I could have lost that battle.

Earlier on tripela live tonight, lost a huge portion of a Japanese fleet to Anzac…should have only lost 2 ships. Dice hasn’t been very nice to me. I feel like I’ve been experiencing a lot of outlier dice results not in my favor lately.

Scramble sz 97? - The chineese rule didn’t work - no soldiers spawned on the non costal territories…

No Scramble.

Chinese rule is for non-coastal territories.
