Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods

Robson

@kilroynothere oh you are absolutely right. I think the UK Pacific are not allowed to declare war before Japan does it or it is the forth turn.
So I have to move the AA back.

@robson actually UKP can declare war at anytime, its just the US that cannot early. Just figured you didn’t want to declare war with that move…

Robson

@kilroynothere Hey, I was just reading the rules from YG and have found this in the handbook (https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36826/grasshopper-s-3g40-player-s-handbook/13) :

Political Situation: UK Pacific begins the game at war with Germany and Italy, both of which are on the other side of world. The UK Pacific may declare war on Japan at the beginning of the Combat Move phase of it’s turn three, resulting in a state of war between Japan and both the United Kingdom Europe and Pacific.

kilroynothere

@robson I have not read YG’s opening synopsis. Great way of putting it for each power! And yep, UKP can attack (Or move into China which results in a state of war) at anytime. There are advantages because it immediately gives UKP a 10ipc bump and the ability to build more units in India… I know when I played it I weighed that vs. US earlier involvement. Soooo many decisions early! Heck, I built a mnrIC for Germany… who does that? ;-)

kilroynothere

@robson so I was wrong. After re-reading, UKP can only attack on round 3 unless attacked before. I mis-read that. Sooooo complicated!

kilroynothere

@Robson also noticed that YG put in either 8 round OR a 10 round game, depending on the player’s desires. That changes things quite a bit for strategy I would think. Maybe next game we switch sides again and try for a 10 round and see how it goes. I’m real curious how YGs tournament goes with these rules and what the take-aways are from it.

@Robson I had to make an edit for a non-combat as I forgot to use a tt to move two inf from Manchuria. And Japan did NOT declare war… first time I’ve ever waited until round 3. Totally different game again!

Contango

@Robson
@kilroynothere

Hey Fellas, just passing through and I noticed you were able to move a UK Pacific unit into China before UK Pacific and Japan were at war. This shouldn’t be allowed. It looks like there may be a bug in the game code.

I’ll make a note of it and hopefully fix it if I do an update in the future.

kilroynothere

@contango thanks for checking in and noticing that. Really appreciate all the programming work!

Robson

@kilroynothere yes sounds great!
