Take the Dice Survey!🎲

I’m curious, what did you decide to do and what happened?

Hello,

Maybe an odd question… Currently playing with just a group of friends but considering joining some other games / ranked play.

My only concern is I can really only do turns during evenings / weekends and even with that maybe 1-2 per evening. So… would always hit the 24 hour between turn warning bit but likely only get in one to two turns per day.

Is that the normal expectation or would I be slowing people down / pissing people off :)?

@DeathByDice Yeah, in ranked matches I still tend to play it out and see how well I can counter the situation but in other games I suggest just resetting the board so we can have a good game. The only thing that’s worked at all for me so far is having Russia pump out infantry and the other allies send as many fighters and tanks there as humanly possible along with a med or northern shuck.

I made a post for a house rule to eliminate this in live games. I’m sure this problem accounts for much of the 10% win discrepancy between the axis and allies. Personally I’m happy if Russia can at least take Ukraine with 1 unit and escape with the fighters. But still, I know I’m in for a tough game if that happens and west-russia doesn’t go fabulously and my opponent is strong. You have to do the west-russia battle first so you know if you need to retreat quickly out of Ukraine.

While I really appreciate the general balance improvement made by the Gencon 3.0 rules update the 9-12 opening situation feels like the most fragile part of the game. I think there’s still room here for a 4.0 setup of some kind. Gencon 3 feels like a patch (necessary but not perfect) when the setup probably could use a bigger update.

@meowmix Yup, that will happen roughly once in every 216 SBR with 3 bombers. It stings hard.

@salocinx The factory’s air defense is not affected by damage.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Thank you for doing the analysis. My curiosity has been answered and it just turns out that my observations were simply anecdotal and coincidental.

Please pass along my thanks to the team for taking the time to do the analysis. I think a future request will be for low-luck style rolling. :wink:
