Combat Hit Differential Summary :

OH MY…Yunan inf 5-5

Ooof. That was a bit harsh.

To be honest I’ve not ususally placed an infantry in Yunnan, but saw you do it and thought that is was a cheap way to make it a little trickier for the Japanese on turn 1. Obviously rolling all 5 hits @ 2 was unexpected.

i see the word PtV…what does that mean

Path to Victory

It’s a ruleset, based on Global 40 and Balanced Mod, but with a new map and some interesting new mechanics like planes can scramble to land adjcent territories and planes on carriers can scramble too.

It’s a really good ruleset. The sides are very balanced and the new mechanics really change how planes and carriers can be used, as well as other units. The map is bigger.

I’ve played 20 games of it and lost nearly all of them. I tend to make a mess of the scrambling stuff.

This post links to some of the main topics on it. I’m happy to play a practice game with you if you want to try it out.

Yes, I would like to try, not yet. I like to space out my games so I do not get confused.

No worries. Good idea on not crambing in too many games, I try to keep to two at most.
