@Kobu:

The map was posted in the other thread.

yeah i did not realize it when i posted it.

i just checked the other thread. it does not have the india canada swap or the added inf in romania

Sorry, I forgot them. I didn’t feel like editing the sektors.

Ya but then that’s what house rules are for and a small game you can tweak  :-D

I think Larry should change the rules for tech to this: buying dice costs 10, and you have to roll a 6 still, but you can then choose the tech you want. And no tokens either.

I say it might actually be the most even AA game (other then the Solomon Isles one.)

I am not a big fan of J1 attack - I think alot of that money starts heading towards Germany/Italy…and if I am an axis player I want Germany/Italy to not see a green pc of plastic rolling dice against me until US4-5 at the earliest…not US2!!!

Well, you sure buy them en masse:

@gamerman01:

For the record, Allweneedislove has purchased 3 tanks on G1 and 5 tanks on G2 in a rematch against me where I won the first game.

Seems when the chips are down, even the preacher buys tanks.  Lots of them.

i would be willing to do it for US hellcat fighters

@jim010:

Yunnan gets smoked turn 2 if putting the money there.  If I want it bad enough, I can get the bombers on it.  3 inf, 1 art, 1 fht, 1 tac, 4 bmb will crush it.  Letting the BB go in sz37 won’t help much either.

I can’t get a stack to survive there early in the game.

if you wait until turn 2 yunnan has 17inf, 3art, 5fig, 1tac defending it. you could forgo attacking uk bb and attack yunnan but then you take it with 4 units left over so you lose 2planes or 3 planes if you want to hold the territory and let the uk have transports and a bb. if you place the entire 24ipc in yunnan the allies will win.

Sshhh its a secret!!

Since this topic is really not actually in the game, i consider it a house rule discussion.

bumped for mrblack trying to do kuf

sorry i bumped the wrong thread. will bump correct thread

Do you mean half of 57 or half of 17? If it’s half of 17, that’s a greater disadvantage to the allies.

@Brain:

Who were the previous winners?

Serghis Khan, won the third Tournament of Champions. i forget who won the first two. i will find out and report back to you soon.

Hello all,

the 4th “Tournament of Champions” is taking registrations now.

it is played with triplea free gaming system and uses play by email. however in the past many games have been played real time online if both opponents can meet up.

to join go to http://www.tripleawarclub.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=220&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0

this is for the revised edition. i know its out of date but it will have the highest level of competition judging by the players that have already signed up.

@calvinhobbesliker:

If you move a sub into a SZ with 2 transports, are you allowed to just kill 1 and retreat the sub?

No.  They are both automatically destroyed.

@Hellmet:

Thanks all for the quick answers!!  Just a point of clarity, I assume that the sub must fight or flee on HIS (the US) combat turn and NOT Japan’s.

Of course.

It cant work, if japan is going this route it has to move everything to its home SZ
If the US sees that all they have to do is blocade SZ 7 & 15

I dont see how there is still an argument. It is an imposiblity

@axis_roll:

contributing to the problem in the pacific is the inability of UK to effectively help USA.

It could be something as simple as adding an IC to australia.
I’ve heard ideas of limited complexes that can be upgraded at a cost.

Limited like either only ground units or inf only.
Upgrade to full at $8 or some other dollar cost.

This enables the allies to help defend / slow the japanese expansion while giving the Americans some land base(s) for bombers.

There’s a TripleA mod created by Veqryn that gives UK a complex of its choice as a bid.

I think the game would be better with starting complexes in Aussie and India but its tricky to work out the game dynamics without tipping the balance to either side.
