Looks like it did. Had dice roller on prerelease so hopefully that’s the only thing I had wrong :)

@victoryfirst said in barnee Axis vs VictoryFirst Allies G 40 Expansion:

Alright, first turn is up! Looking forward to your G2, this is going to be a fun and interesting game!

I agree :grin:

Do you want to intercept SBR on UK ? Triplea does it mostly right, except you can’t designate Ftrs to specific Infrastructure. I just roll with it myself, but if you want we can hand roll it.

Also, Air Battle can go a lot of different ways, so if you decide to intercept, when would you want to retreat or fight to death or until I retreat.

G 40 EXP G2 CM.tsvg

I turned off “Volkstrum” as it just takes up a space in the Purchase window. If it’s needed later in game it’ll need to be turned on the end of the round before it’s needed.

Since this our first go around, I’ll probably be more deliberate and explain things that you already know. No offense meant :) Think it’s a good opportunity to use this thread as a promotional/tutorial for Captain and Company’s House Rules and how to play with triplea.

Especially since it’s edit heavy compared to most triplea maps, although triplea still does a solid 80% or better of it. I’ve found after a few games, most of it just becomes part of the standard game play.

All right, back to game action :)

@barnee

Actually this is a pretty significant distinction

Note 3:
If the attacker conducts bombing raids against an
Industrial Complex and an Air Base (and/or Naval
Base) in the same territory at the same time, the
attacker must announce which air units attack
which Target – and hereafter the defender must
announce which fighters are defending which
Target (if any).

So I’m sending 4 Ftr Escorts and the Bmbr at the Factory and 4 Tacs at the AB

@The-Captain is that the correct procedure ?

@VictoryFirst if the above is correct and you want to play to the letter of the rule, I’m gonna cancel the SBR. If you wanna roll with how triplea does it, I’ll let it ride.

Your call :)

@VictoryFirst

I guess I’d say we should play it the way it’s written since it could have a big difference. I’m fine either way though.

@VictoryFirst wish you could edit these lol

Yea I’m gonna cancel the SBR and redo CM. We should try and follow the rules as closely as we can.

@VictoryFirst ok back on track. here’s G2

G 40 EXP G2.tsvg

@victoryfirst Use commisar 3 as long as you have at least 1 tank. It’ll boost the tank and itself with an extra A/D shot. You have to pay attention during battle that if your corps loses it’s full complement of units, that you have to take the commisar as a casualty or it will continue to give it’s booster shots.

After battle, you can edit out a different casualty and replace the commisar.

A2 D3 commisar for Guards
commisar 2 for arty
commisar 1 for Inf
A1 D3 commisar for Engineer

If you have a mixed Corps, it’d be best to state it’s composition in the comment log. If it’s pretty obvious, like 3 Tanks are present, you can just place it.

I’ll probably go ahead and comment the formation of Armies more so early on. Especially since the Waffen formations are so mixed. I forgot to mention the formation of 1st Panzer in Germany the end of G2

Russia is a lot simpler because it’s almost always tanks.

Also Desert Armies follow the same naming as the commisars. Just pick out the correct A/D number

At end of turn I generally try and look for up or downgrades for all the badass units. Escorts will be another one that needs up or downgrading when they become available.

@victoryfirst I figured out how to use dicebot. Example of 3 Uboats attacking rd1

3 Uboats attack rd1 at 3

then hit post

@barnee well that didn’t work
