Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.7.0.3, time: 10:20:09

@Gargantua:

This problem dates back to anniversary.

Bombers provide so much of what’s called “threat projection” that en mass they are impossible to stop.

It’s one thing to face your stack off against another stack, or your navy vs some enemy planes.

But when you have to calculate that your stack could get smashed, and your navy could get smashed, and your capital could get smashed, you have to reel back across the board, or face certain death.

It’s not what you actually do with the bombers that counts, so much as what you -could- do.

Give this man a dollar!  That is exactly the problem I face when JJ plays this strat.  I make my moves based on what he “could” do to me.  We are throwin around the idea of giving several soft targets where Germany would be forced to “pull the trigger” and commit the bombers, but I simply haven’t figured out a way to wipe out enough bombers or a queen gambit to force him to lose the game from it.

@Uncrustable:

bring back the classic AA gun

hehe, it would stop this strat fairly well…/agree

I don’t know if they OP holds my views, but as he is my Axis best friend since 1986…you could say I know what machinations are going on.  A previous poster mentioned “Operation Hollywood.”  I think it was Dennis who mentioned going US first on the original board(THE original 1984 game! lol), but JJ modified to a twin assault from Japan and Germany - he can be a dirtbag that way.  He just modifies his strats however unlikely, to provoke a different game.  Operation Dark Sky is an excellent description.  I shall respond as best I can from my own experience playing against him f2f.

@BJCard:

Well, I see how mass bombers can be useful but I have a few comments to respond-

1. �The Allies can mass a Navy off Gibraltar, yes, but by whom?  The US?  UK?  If the US decides to put a navy there, you are talking about Turn4 before you could move there with how much production on the East Coast?  Enough to survive 15 bombers?  That is a 10hit one shot that the navy would have to survive - and remember, a competent Japan player is unleashed without the US going full tilt Japan crush if they have an airbase in Gibraltar and own Morocco; �The Germans would have to attack with just bombers; �Fine by me, I’ll trade destroyers for bombers again, if you are one-shotted, the trade ends up being far more in Germany’s favor than you think.  Also, Italy goes first, so a neutral crush, Gib landing etc, can precede a landing spot.  Also, don’t forget bombing is not required of Moscow, it is just insult to injury. � How would fighters/tac bombers reach? �Did Germany buy a carrier or attack Spain? If anything, we have found that Germany literally gets to play with ideas on where/what they can do.  It is unreal how creative he and I have gotten and with impunity as if hardly any consequences.  Taking Spain and producing an airbase, nabbing WIndies with Italy and dropping 18 bombers that threaten East/Central/West Coast of USA.  It gets pretty crazy…because it happens within one round.  Literally, you can completely change theatres and lock down the USA. - but you don’t have too.  They can’t breach the one-shot defense.  Just bide your time for the 8 city victory

2. �If those bombers are in Italy to counter the Gibraltar navy, than they are not strategic bombing Moscow that turn.Initially you need 3 bombers to lock down Moscow, then 2…then 1.  Even if you play Moscow conservatively, after turn 6 you are collecting low teens on your way to single digits.  If you hold onto the north, then you have put too many pieces out of position and Moscow falls sooner than you think.  We have tried being aggressive and conservative…we are not sure of a solution, regardless…it is still a delaying tactic not a proper counter to give Russia hope.

3. �AA guns take hits and can target air units. �By no means would I buy a lot of them, but a few may help more than hurt.  I have found this is a waste.  It is simply not worth it.  Maybe I am wrong on this count.

4. �Is 47 German units in Bryansk a conservative estimate? �Is Russia countering when possible, falling back when not? �We have been trying attack/retreat combinations etc.  Giving Russia best case scenarios for battles etc.  What we have found is disheartening.  It certainly can be scary for Germany if Russia builds tanks etc, and we have found it does delay Germany, but at the cost of troops for the final stand where we are actually able to attack Moscow sooner - and the worst part is the cost to Germany is nullified.  Tanks roll 3’s but act as 2 casualties, and you need casualties for your british and indian planes, not tanks…and when the hump is crossed for Germany with regards to the bombing stack being able to oneshot anything, then it simply doesn’t matter - and it is frustrating.

5. �If Italy is supplying that much to Russia - which I did not take into account with your initial post- than they have lost Africa and a UK Mid East Strategy is even more viable. �That is, minor ICs in Egypt and Iraq (or Persia). The only problem with this is if you make your stand in Egypt…what exactly do you have in Britain?  I found myself facing a mid/late Sea Lion because I kept trying to ride the line…and oh yeah, the b��t��d bombers start bombing Britain as early as turn 4/5 if no targets are presented because Germany has so many damn planes they can.  Frankly, you can ignore Egypt and take Britain, it is probably easier, but you can march your stuff south if you want.  Up to you.  There is no rush as I have been unable to stop the sky from turning dark.  Italy only devotes I think 2 turns towards Russia, after that, they can play in the Med.  They can only help and if they are successful in there Afrika campaign, perhaps put pressure on Egypt for the 8 city win�

6. �I’d have to look at the map again, but I don’t think bombers in range of strategic bombing Moscow are in range of hitting any Western Navy (outside the baltic and western med), therefore the Allies would have a turn to get out of range. �Only 3 bombers tops are dedicated toward Moscow…if that, the majority will be looking for targets on the sea/africa/and russian territories - bombers need to eat

7. �The point of retreating to Moscow is to keep Russia in the game as long as possible. �If you lose the bulk of the Russian Army too early the UK/US does not have the time to get help there. �You are right on, we are playing with different scenarios, is it better to have planes/mech from India? etc.  This is where I am currently trying to refine my strat as I have nothing better to offer.  This is all I am capable of doing…is delaying the inevitable…till the inevitable.  I don’t see a win anywhere, and I am frustrated.

8. �What is Japan doing? �Full on Russia? yep�When does the US get attacked?Turn 2 or 3 - depending on Japan’s position and where the allies post, frankly, it doesn’t have much bearing on Europe.

9.� Please don’t take my posts as any sort of personal attack, I really want to know more about what you are doing.� When you can play by forum against an experienced allied player it would be very helpful.� agreed, your post is helpful and hopefully, will get people to try the strat and come up with counters.  It is actually a helluva lotta fun for the Axis…but God it sucks for the Allies.

@AK_Grown:

**Yeah…bombers threw me off. **

Yep, me too.  I am still unsure of how to counter it effectively if at all.  You can play the axis on the make up game.

Also, this has been playtested f2f for a very very long time.  We wanted to challenge the community to see what they can do to make it better, or provide a solid and reliable counter.  Perchance you will be the one to prove us wrong…or a strong convert.

if you are referring to AK_grown, he is not really a great example, although a turn7 Europe axis victory shows the strats potential IMHO.

I hope to add our game to give it more credence, goofy rolls not influencing it too much.  Make you a believer  :evil:

no worries man, it is good for you to experiment and not get locked down into any particular strategy.  AA guns are only useful vs a land attack…and they can be killed, so beware of this counter.  IMO, it does not perform as well as I had hoped.

bit of a snag with the dice server sir, need a valid email

alrighty, lets get this party started.

Don’t beat yourself up too bad, you are playing multiple games and I have an additional advantage of bouncing ideas off my buddy.  You were the first public example of how overpowered bombers are.  The last time my buddy spoke up about going America first, they changed the game so that America could declare war if territory in Canada was taken.  Heh, I am curious to see what the bomber solution shall be.  I hope to take on more veteran players and test our hypothesis that bombers are broken.  I am pretty convinced that there isn’t much the allies can do…and no amount of bidding will really fix this.  Please take the strat and run with it.  Its fun and easy to work with.  You can go pure bombers or a mix toward the later game.  But initially, go bombers.  That’s the best part.  You can imply threat in every theatre, devastate players that make the mistake of miscounting where they can go, use them for casualties etc.  Cheap, long range, and +2 to every die for bombing if you desire to do so…you don’t have to bomb, it really doesn’t make a difference, just adds insult to injury.  Look for mine or Jamesaleman posts as we try to disprove our conclusion.  Good game.  If you would like to play again, let me know.  Use my own strat against me!  muwhahaha.

The axis on the European board have now captured 8 victory cities.  You have 1 turn to ensure that the Axis on the European board do not hold the cities.

Otherwise, the axis powers have triumphed.
