L25 PtV Stucifer (X+9) v Argothair (L)

Argothair

@Stucifer I would like to formally protest a flaw in the PTV game design, which is that (a) Germany had absolutely no capability at all of invading the mainland US in 1940 or 1941 and could not have acquired one, and (b) if that were somehow not the case, then there’s no way in hell that in real life a German transport sitting on the west coast of a German-occupied Gibraltar doesn’t trigger a US declaration of war.

The fact that I have to defend Washington against a German attack while the US is still at peace is ridiculous.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I agree with you, to nitpick slightly however this is not a PtV-specific flaw—this same scenario exists in the Europe/G40 OOB boards from which PtV is derivative.

Many things are done in the name of the sacred cows of Game Design & Balance, to follow-up to your TED Talk most of the setup is clearly fantastical, which is why Axis have such a massive advantage in matériel in OOB setup.

At the start of the Second World War the RN had 15 battleships and battlecruisers with five more battleships under construction, and 66 cruisers with another 23 under construction. To 184 destroyers with 52 more under construction, a further 50 old destroyers (and other smaller craft) were obtained from the US in exchange for US access to bases in British territories (Destroyers for Bases Agreement). There were 60 submarines and seven aircraft carriers with more of both under construction. At the end the RN had 16 battleships, 52 carriers—though most of these were small escort or merchant carriers—62 cruisers, 257 destroyers, 131 submarines and 9,000 other ships. During the war the Royal Navy lost 278 major warships and more than 1,000 small ones. There were 200,000 men (including reserves and marines) in the navy at the start of the war, which rose to 939,000 by the end. 51,000 RN sailors were killed and a further 30,000 from the merchant services. The WRNS was reactivated in 1938 and their numbers rose to a peak of 74,000 in 1944. The Royal Marines reached a maximum of 78,000 in 1945, having taken part in all the major landings.

@Stucifer All very true! However, I am used to the Royal Navy taking it in the kidneys, so I don’t complain about them.

I guess I virtually never have the UK unilaterally declare war, so I’m just not used to being in this situation.

Stucifer

I had intended to write more about the setup but ran out of time–something about work?

I have done the early war as UK once on round 1 and once on round 2, if you can pull off a Sneaky Karl that can be worth it. I think it can also be very strong for helping boost China from a concentrated push by the Japanese, but it’s certainly a tool to be used sparingly.

Argothair

@Stucifer Oh, yeah – work. I knew there was something I did all day besides play TripleA.

The only reason I did the DoW was because you put so much emphasis in your video on the US not being safe stacking west of Hawaii. I figured I’d put it there anyway and dare you to attack it.

Stucifer

@Argothair True true. If you hadn’t done the independent wardec I would have taken that shot, but since you did I think it’s in the Axis best interest to let the US sit out until round 3/4. 😉

The UK and ANZAC give lots of juicy targets as it is… 🤪

All right, maybe the threat to the Americans isn’t as absurd as I was claiming. With the starting mechs and AA guns, you can do a pretty good job defending the mainland against a token invasion.

I wound up editing the UK Pac. infantry into Shanghai; sorry about that, I just forgot to move it in during the combat phase, but that was always my intention, which is why I built the Chinese infantry just to the south of it.

@Stucifer You say rugged Italian defense, I say unconscionable Italian good luck…po-ta-to, g-no-cchi.

No reason to scramble in Scotland, yeah.

What about Crete? Isn’t it weird that the British carrier group just sits there and ignores the invasion of Crete? I mean, I guess they did historically…but still.

@Argothair Yeah, a small balance nod I believe to keep carriers from being ridiculously overpowered. 🤔 Maybe at one point in development they acted the same as air bases? Would be a question for Adam & RegularKid.
