HBG Requests Input on New Pieces

Yeah, that sounds about right.

No harm at all. I was just mentioning that they were the same ones. It’s easy to forget that the green pieces in the game aren’t actually the Americans, but rather the Allies who have retreated back to North America after losing WW2. I didn’t realize until you had posted your link that the Meteor was actually a British fighter.

1936 senario we are using the add 1$ to every landzone and double for original German house rule and Russia is free of Berlin fall declaration of war restrictions. This one is so bizarre we are continuing even though its 1946 by the calendar next turn.

Allies went for Japan first. Russia joined in and attacked allies for Chinese ownership. Us beat Japan down as a can opener. Then had Australia take all of Japan’s money and land (just because I wanted Australia to dominate the Pacific when America went with everything Atlantic). As a result Germany went sealion but was kicked out by uk when Russia attacked Germany. Italy has all of Africa and most of south America. While Germany is fighting with Russia. Its now a race, For the Atlantic and south Africa by US and Australia is taking China and Eastern Russia while eating up pieces of Africa, to liberate the UK its south African factory back. Both are out of position to attack Germany. Axis is using Italy as a screen similar to how the UK and French start the game, on the defensive to buy time, for Germany to focus on its only front Russia. French and Netherlands are eliminated they lost all possible capital locations on the same turn. When london was lost and Italy owned all Africa. Vichy was attacked to prevent funding the German war machine and became German aligned. Only allies way to attack Germany.

Honestly the income change, only changed our purchase power per turn but was virtually identical in ballance of income across all players.

@billinjackson:

Hey Bill,

How did it go with your Commandoes? Specifically the fact that they can “glide” behind enemy lines and sabatoge without engaging in combat? I havn’t tested it out yet, personally.
Does that make them too powerful? Do you roll for them to damage factories? 1D6?

It went well. they played a role by hitting a factory in europe and one actually on mainline Japan. The japanese player actually missed him slowly coming up from India by way of a sea route. Once they hit a location, they tend to die as the player has to address them but, the distraction is worth it.

Changes i will be making will be that once they make a strike on a facility it will be only 1 point of damage regardless of how successful the role was.

Bill

Hmm, interesting interesting.
I could see that being a problem. Did they roll a six sided dice for damage? Did they roll high both times?
I’ve set mine up to roll a D6 dice and rolling a 6 eliminates them without damage and a 1 let’s them make a move after sabotage.
Thanks for sharing your results Bill. It’s helps in tweaking my setup.

here is a battle example: player 1 attacks with 3 infantry, 2 tanks, 1 fighter. Player 2 is defending with 3 infantry, 2 artillery.
player 1 rolls:3,6,4,3,2,5 the 2 tanks both got hits 3 or less so score hits, the first is 3 hp so kills an infantry, the second is 2 hp which also kills an infantry.
player 2 rolls:4,2,1,2,5 one of the infantry rolled a 1 so player one moves an infantry down to 1 hp, one artillery rolled a 2 so another infantry is killed.
player 1 has 1 dead infantry, 1 infantry on 1hp, 1 infantry on 2hp, 2 tanks, 1 fighter
player 2 has 2 dead infantry, 1 infantry on 2 hp, 2 artillery on 2 hp
player 1 rolls:5,2,1,3,5,2 one infantry rolled a 1 so player 2 moves an infantry to 1hp, one tank rolled a 3 so player 2 losses an artillery, the fighter got a 2 so player 2 has to remove the artillery to do the maximum damage.
player 2 rolls:2,3,2 an artillery rolled a 2 so player 1 moves a fighter down to 2 hp
player 1 has 1 infantry on 1hp, 1 infantry on 2hp, 2 tanks, 1 fighter on 2 hp
player 2 has 1 infantry on 1 hp, 2 dead artillery
player 1 rolls:2,5,6,6,2 the fighter rolled a 2 so player 2 removes the last infantry
player 2 rolls:2,3,2 an artillery rolled a 2 so player 1 brings a tank down to 1hp
player 1 has 2 infantry, 2 tanks, 1 fighter - the troops automatically heal at the end of battle and have full hp when they go into battle again.

Yes, and no.

The limit is one… and all parties can do it.

Of course it doesn’t help when the russians drop that in Moscow with a stack of 70+ units.  But, if Germany can do the same? What does it matter.

On the old map there was an airbase on Guam.The new map, as mentioned features no bases. Thing is, there is no airbase for Guam in the 4.1 set-up. Will there be 5.0 set-up charts?
