FFA Rules and discussion

@mojo:

and yes there’s only 1 MOJO  :-D

O RLY?  :-D

Now there are two of them!

i think the rules are just fine.  i’ve played every FFA game here.

the other powers are weak for sure, but the other players should realize that making sure to keep pressure off of them is in their own interests b/c then you keep another enemy bottled up.  but everyone goes way out on their own sometimes and the weaker are left to fend for themselves.  which only ends up hurting the others in the game anyways.

what the F is going on here O RLY ?

i’m gonna change my name to darthmaximus II  :-D

+1 for making me laugh on a Friday :lol:

I think I’m going to change my name to newpaintbrush. I’ve been waiting for that one to open up for a while now.

is that who that guy is,  i’m been trying to figure it out.  newpaintbrush,    alright i’m coming fer  ya now.  :-D  thanks for the laugh.

@U-505:

Right! I call the name newpaintbrush(or is it?) ~ZP  :-D

I’m in.

ok thats 3 lets round up 2 more.

is it too late to discuss rules?
I much prefer if we could continue the main line of FFA playtesting
like smaller changes as a time, less violatile

its randomised NA but 2 free infantry = 6 IPC
and then theres the IPC hedge Russia and UK of 10 and 5 IPC

Russia is not going to lose 10 IPC of territories any time soon

the 2 free infantry is by far the better NA
so rolling for NA makes a lot of pre-game luck

1. Can we try the new NAs and unit setup changes first?
Don’t have the IPC setup and IPC hedge rules just yet.
(Let UK and Russia choose their NA. The 2 free infantry is disproportionally the better NA. Want less pre-game luck.)

2. Can we change the UK NA Jet Fighters to a different name?

edit: actually no its not 46 IPC Russia

I’m still open to ideas.  I’ve never played a Revised FFA, so I’ve got nothing to compare to, but I do like consolidating the UK fleets (in sz 2) and shifting some of their existing units.

I’m not really familar with the NAs either so any changes are fine by me.

Well, I was promised a slot in the next FFA since i missed the last one, hopin that promise will be honored. :)

I’d play if someone will give me a hand with online play (never done it before). I’m pretty piss poor compared to all you here but if its just a fun FFA i may as well  :-D

as for rules i’m open too.    DM i like the combined fleet in sz 2 also for uk.  bring the bb from sz 13 + the dd from sz 15> sz 2.  i also like giving uk 1 ic to put somewhere.    i like giving russia 1 bom + 1 fig.  i aslo like the extra cash for both,  russia 10 & uk 5,  both capped at 40.
so if russia earns 35 he only gets 5.

choosing  NA are fine too,  but i think my rule book is the older version so we’ll need to look at the new NA’s.  all country’s choose 1  + uk & russia role for 1 more.  thats fine with me.
are we allowing tech ?  i’m fine either way.

as for victory cities and capitol exile,  i dunno about either one,  but i’m open.

i think we get our 5 players and then decide what rules we want.

right now  i’m in + Rand & DM , we need 2 more i don’t care who.  no promise’s were givin to play here.  i guess it’s just first come first serve.

as for the new guy, Petrucci08,  i’d suggest playing a couple games first before playing this FFA
game.  go to the play games thread and look there,  thiers plenty of gamers out here.

i forgot you tekkyy,  yes we can dicuss rules first,  your in if you want,  but i was  a little confused  as to what you were saying.

as for what NA’s we use,  i think i have and old rule book , so we’ll have to look at it.

as for the extra ipc’s,  i think it’s important because both russia & uk start with very little units,  and they are in the middle of fire.  russia has  germany & japan hitting them,  and uk has  germany & usa.    germnay is in the middle also but they start with more units and 40 bucks.

as for changing the name of jet fighters ?

Now we see why Jen sounded worried.
You added up 3 (excluded her). And then you remember me (who haven’t said in yet) and forgot her. :-D

Anyway I am pretty sure you have a slot Jen. You are the 4th to say I.

but i was  a little confused  as to what you were saying.

in short, I am hoping we can give the new NAs and setup ago first
try the IPC rule and IPC setup change when its found to be needed
.

as for what NA’s we use,  i think i have and old rule book , so we’ll have to look at it.

yeah have to print out LHTR 2.0

as for the extra ipc’s,  i think it’s important because both russia & uk start with very little units,  and they are in the middle of fire.  russia has  germany & japan hitting them,  and uk has  germany & usa.    germnay is in the middle also but they start with more units and 40 bucks.

its FFA so the discussion really just goes around

UK’s position is not that bad
in playtesting we saw that if US goes Altantic Japan will be left unchecked
with the united UK navy, increased UK and Russia income…its going to be more of Germany being in the middle of UK and Russia

so I think if we let UK and Russia choose NA, the IPC spread is actually much better than OOB

Jen (day 2) didn’t do too bad with UK
at UK5 there was 5 inf 2 art 3 arm 4 ftr 1 bmr in Egypt and 2 ftr 1 cv 1 dd 3 ss 4 tp in z34
she built South Africa IC, then later built Egypt IC
if the South Africa IC was free and 2 free inf per turn…

as for changing the name of jet fighters ?

so that the name is not the same as the tech
I wonder if +1 range to 5 does anything, how about 6?

i didn’t include jenn because that was the first time she chimmed into this topic.  you have been here asking questions so i figured if you want in your in.

i have played FFA before and believe ipcs, and  set up changes are necessary,  but i have not played with NA’s.
i am open to any rules and any players.

i think what we ned to do is get our 5,  and then we can decide what rules to play by.
