this makes me wonder again how much the axis advantage in victory conditions affects the games overall balance; that the axis can win with less than a full victory, whereas the allies basically need what amounts to a total military victory.

Wow. Quite the globe trotter! Very cool. I look forward to seeing Alaska in this world or the next.

These are my first ideas. Let’s give 24 hours for comment.

@crockett36 you need an infantry in Queensland to pick up with your transport. You don’t need the blocker in SZ55.

GERMANY is up. -
for those watching at home, abh is vacationing for the rest of the month. surfer, you still there?
-
@crockett36 Yeah, work has been hard recently. Can’t get to the game like I was. Glad you have taken care of things. The break will give me a chance to get ahead of tasks.
-
@surfer understand. right there with you.

Back from Mt Fairweather that is on the border of Alaska and British Columbia. I lucked out with the weather and summited on a beautiful day without high winds or snow.

Russia is up.

amazing!

Proposed r4. open for public comment.

Use less valuable units in those battles that will be subjected to counterattacks such as Rostov and W Ukraine. Infantry are cheaper than arts and mechs. You will need to save those precious stuff for later in this game, and they likely won’t be difference-makers in those battles. I haven’t run the numbers yet, but try to be as thrifty as possible in these skirmishes as you are trying to win the battle of attrition.
-
The problem is that some of the more valuable units can’t make it to Bryansk and I am considering standing my ground. Therefore my throwing a mech at rostov, etc
-
This a forward turtle. Lots to like. Lots to dislike. German and Italian income will spike. And I’m not taking the shot at the Italian tank. nor the valuable Rostov and w ukraine.

The counterattacks are generally good, but can be made a bit more economical. See attached version where I swapped a mech and an art for cheaper infantry. In general, I look at the total unit value swing with the following calculations:
- TUV swing from battle
- additional income from winning the territory
- additional damage I do from the required Axis counterattack
- benefit from requiring Axis to use air power to support counterattack
- chance of defensive miracle during counterattack that a lone Russian soldier obliterates a big Axis offensive.
5a) Surfer stalled the entire Axis force for a turn by destroying all of my Italian can openers in Rostov on critical Turn 4.

Surfer might not be able to provide advice for a while. Any other strategy questions that I can help with?
