There we go. On to the Italians.
But back to my bid question- what would be the bid for this version of play?
-
Also, next time. (hopefully you will want a next time) I would still like to be the Allies. I feel like they are easily the weakest side for me to learn about. I think the Allies start out with the steepest learning curve. Both sides are tough to understand. But the Axis have a huge variety of options to win and, to me, look like the funner side to play, which is another reason why I’d like to raise my Allies game first.
The main thing that is killing me is my lack of knowledge in this games tactics. Your game in that regard is outstanding.

@Stough
OOB - out of box. The set-up and rules from the box game. Since its release, the rules/set up have gone through 3 major adjustments by larry harris. I think the final revesion was like 7 years ago. Since then certain strategies have been developed that make it next to impossible for the allies to win. We are playing OOB. The bid range is high 30’s to low 50’s for the allies in this iteration.
Since then, various people have come up with ways to balance the game. BM3, created on triplea is the most popular on this site, though i see a new version, with a new map, being play tested.
I would love another game - but I encourage you to try axis. It will help you “think like the enemy,” becoming a better allies player.
Thank you for the compliment, but i have to tell you - while my tatics might be pretty good, my strategy needs a lot of work. Iam getting bmy but hamded to me by another player right now in another game. I too have a LOT to learn. -
@Stough
Feel free to look at other games. You can download them same way you download ours - and just open in “play local”. Then you can go to the game menu, select game history, and look at each move. That is how i got my running start. -
@Stough
In the play board games forum - there is mainah vs wizmark and wizmark vs mainah. You’ll see what i mean by getting my but kicked.
But its a fun and educational but kicking. -
@mainah :grinning: :grinning: 😉

I looked at a game between Trumpien and the guy who came up with J-1, I forget his name, It was way over my head, but it helped me get a better feel. I’ve also been checking out a tutor game from a while ago where the community explains what and why. Trulpen and AndrewAAgamer are the leads on that one.
I think it will take a few more game plays for me to start seeing things more clearly. The switch from the board map to this one is jarring in itself.
For this game, I am just intrigued by how the game develops over time.
It’s precisely this point in the game where I want to see what happens. For me, it’s a struggle, because I want to play aggressively, but I think that would lead to odd occurrences that normally wouldn’t happen. So, for me, I’ve been trying to take as few chances as possible and just slowly build and see what that does.Your German attack is mostly what I expected as to pace (not to placement- had no clue there). I am a bit shocked that despite the massive amount of early infantry buy and clearing out of almost all assets out of Western Europe that the Russians were still able to hold Bryansk in turn 4.
I take it as a moral victory that Moscow will not fall in turn 5 or 6. (please don’t disabuse me of this delusion)
Strategically, the German drive to the south of Pripet was unexpected. As soon as you massed your guys in East Poland- I was thinking, “Uh oh, I have no idea what I’m doing”. I was hoping for a drive North.
With the Japanese, the whole game has been a 'WTF is happening". Never seen or read about a J2, every single move has been unexpected and jaw dropping. It’s been like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
-
@Stough
I think in OOB J1 is the most common. I tried out the standard variations against myself - and never liked any of them. It might be because of my limited experience, but i view the benefit of the TUV swing for japan is out weighed by the lack of any positional advantage, the limited IPC gained by what is captured, and the immediate bump in USA money and the USA is now in the war.
In the balance mod - from what i have read - J3 is the most common, and I’m finding out why (via the but kicking from Wiz) but i think there is value in a J2 if it is done right, especially if it is unexpected. But i definitely didn’t do it right against Wiz. Your conservative play is allowing for an effective J2 this game, but i still think the strategy and the purchases i made need more tweaking. -
@Stough
In my game with wiz i must admit i was planing for a J3. I reacted to some moves of his. But i did so thinking that 1: it was unexpected, and with some of his moves there was some opportunistic moves i could make and 2) i had been pondering the idea for a while.
I was right that it was unexpected, but read more into the oppotunity of his position more than what was actually there. -
You weren’t lying. Your getting murdered in that game. His moves with China and Russia have just been so deft. Wow!
