Test summary from TripleA 15:43:01

Test

@Gargantua:

Actually if you look at ALL the Axis and Allies games…

they all kind of have this place called Berlin, and Moscow/Russia… and these side show places like India and China… just in different configurations!

:roll:  haha smart remarks

@oztea:

Still….this will bring us back to the dark ages of A&A

I think your using a bit hyperbole.  Game isn’t even out yet and your spreading doom and gloom. A little early for that.

I am wondering if anyone has made a Global map and had it roll up with a rubber backing.  I know some types of games have this, and it makes it easier to bring to a game.  Its printed on the rubber in some cases.  If anyone has I would like to know how its done or how to pay to get it done.

Springs player here too.  Hope to get some local games going.

I am so glad I brought this thread back up.  :mrgreen:

This is being discussed to death.  Why start another topic?  But yes I think its balanced.  See you made me take the bait.  :x

I was in a game where Germany pretty much took control of most of China * a very wierd game with a bunch of dumb players*.  I doubt he followed the rules right but just curious if anyone ran across this before?

If we played Alpha 3 where is a good place to post your analysis of it?

@Stalingradski:

My goodness? How is it possible to have any idea whatsover if Alpha 3 is good or not without 3 or 4 playtests?

Play some games, and if it’s not good, then hammer away. But it came out yesterday!

It looks fine to me until proven otherwise, and I do have some faith that some pretty good players playtested it and some pretty good minds spent time thinking about it. More time than any of us.

We’re all entitled to our opinion, but wow.

Viribus, that wasn’t directed to you, but to a huge group of people on both sites.

I think people just need to play it. I was a little sceptical at first but after playing it I kinda like it.  I think it is an adjustment.  I kinda see a way for the axis to win.  Just gotta change your strategy a bit.  I think Air Power will be more important with Germany now.  Anyways I like it after playing it.  I need a few more games to be sure.

So played a game today with Alpha 3 and I got to say its not as bad as it seems.  Tried a Sealion on G3 and it almost succeeded.  The main reason it didn’t was some worse than average rolls.  I would say an average roll or maybe slightly better than average would have been needed.  I could see a problem with Russia getting to declare war if London had fallen, as all my troops would have been out of position.  The AA gun in France was pretty irrelevant (no planes lost and just one extra casualty).  The DOW with Japan and Russia and the freaking Mongolian’s is just weird to me.  Trying to avoid that is more difficult than it seems.  I will say though that Japan was on par with the US after Calcutta fell.  Italy isn’t in as bad shape as they appear.  They did clear out the Med on I3.  They purchased mostly Naval Units to do it before turning their attention to the Mid East.  I dunno guys,  Alpha 3, is pretty darn interesting.  Not saying I am going to give it 5 stars, but I think it might be ok.  It doesn’t seem to have hurt the axis as much as it appears.  I probably could have won if Sealion had gone just slightly better. (Or if there were 2 AA guns instead of 4)

Just my thoughts.

Maybe someone should make a list of approved forum acronyms?

@gamerman01:

Pardon my ignorance, but I didn’t see the changes that take away Sealion.  Please explain.

I was wondering that as well.  I think he is referring to the 4 AA guns. I could see how this gives the UK 4 casualties to choose from but it also limits the amount of planes that can be shot at to 3.  I think Sealion is still very much in the picture.  Just my opinion though.

@jim010:

I don’t know if its at the UK’s mercy.  UK can’t possibly take it all out.  And with that Strat Bomber Italy can do some damage to the UK fleet in I1.

No, but before, UK could only hit 1 fleet with 50% odds if Germany brought down 2 fhts.  Now UK can hit 2 fleets and win comfortably in both.

I see your point, but I just don’t see this a HUGE change in the game play.  I think it will make Italy work for its NO but not knock it out of the game.  I would say Italy just needs to purchase a sub or Destroyer on its first turn.

@jim010:

How are you seeing the increase in Allied AA units as a boon for the Axis?

Since they can only shoot 3 times, Germany can send a crap load of planes without the threat of a bad roll knocking out its entire Air Force.

@Axisplaya:

@jim010:

I see no concessions to the Axis.

The only one i see so far is this one : the new rules about AAguns. These a great for the Axis, at least for the first 6 rounds.

Yes I think that is a HUGE help to the Axis in the short term at least.
