Why Nine victory cities

@slip-capone

We played a couple, then moved onto a week-long game of Global. I like “Revised” quite a bit, but my usual opponent is none-too-happy with the ability of transports to shoot back.
; )

Whenever I play and the USSR captures Berlin I alway play this song on Youtube. The reaction is great.

@Zhukov44:

The problem is game imbalance makes it tough to find people who will agree to play Allies in online play.  A 1 inf bid to Persia or to the Soviets would be nice for balance here.

One infantry bid?  Wouldn’t that make this the most closely balanced A&A game ever?

I can;t take credit for all of those.

I think my main suggestion was a small bid for the Allies, and then it is a 5 turn max game (Axis wins in 5, or they lose)

Or just add an INF to India.  That should be enough to make 8 VC a bit harder for the Axis…

Kill Japan.  If you do it right, Japan has no chance to survive.  America does become a beast, but that’s okay because England and Russia out number Germany, thus they can defend nicely and wait it out.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I agree…  Traditional conservative strats, Germany and Russia are both in trouble about T10.

I still think that 8VC with the current board and setup is doable for the allies if the rules are slightly bend.

8 VC but you have to keep all 8 for 1 full turn ( lose 1 during the turn even if you take it back resets the score )

i said this at the beginning of the thread, maybe you will get more love  :cry:

we play this way , especially if the allies have an experience advantage.  we also don’t use a bid in this format

And just putting this thread to bed…

In the game that Trihero and I are playing now… at the end of T1, the Axis had a “Minor Victory”, holding both Calcutta and Lenningrad.

But one look at the thread (or better yet a look at my game board), shows just how screwed Germany is right now.

Minor victory equals jack squat.
