yep don’t have the rules handy but yea : )

@Argothair nice number crunching : )

so even with the assumed 3 dudes, we need to be able to replace them. Mini factory obviously would be ideal.
It seems to me a person needs cannon fodder and basically boots on the ground.

I’m not a very good player though and I do like my planes : )

@DMcLaren
a little damage is to be expected. Nothing a rest and refit can’t fix :)

yea cheaper transports could be worth trying. oztea gives the USA more starting dudes in his 41 mod of global to make up for the expense of transporting. Of course that only helps the US and only at game start.

One could also try giving transports their defense value of 1 back. Maybe have it only work against naval units and not planes. Idk, it’s probably best to keep it as simple as possible.

3 or 4 bucks seems a little too cheap at first thought for me. That’s just a gut feeling though. Maybe try 5 bucks to start ?

Also, using global as the example, what’s that do for Japan ? You’d think they wouldn’t really need to buy too many more, but maybe they just use them as throw away units and are all over the Pacific ?

Might not necessarily be a bad thing. Should help Italy a little as well as far as trying to reinforce Africa.

You can solve a lot of potential problems with discussion, but ultimately (as I’m sure you’re well aware of), the play test will be the deciding factor. Even then it might work at first and then someone finds a flaw to exploit as Argo alluded to above.

Then one just needs to tweak again or have someone come up with a counter to that. : )

Heh heh. I think that’s part of the fun though :)

@lil-germanz heh heh nice

actually a J1 does have some merit, although not without risk. In case you haven’t seen it, this explains it pretty well

@oysteilo

yea go to map downloads, experimental. “Global 40 House Rules” is what you want.

Then hit “Map Options” before game start and hit “Option taamvan”. Latest version is 2.63. Idk if that will conflict if you play against someone with an earlier version.

The changes since didn’t have anything to do with the “taamvan” option, so I’d think you’d be okay, but…

So yea, I like the rounded square for categories too :)

@djensen ah…my mistake. Sorry : )

@djensen yea thanks for the comment as I couldn’t find any : )

the little red thingy with the “1” Is that what you were talking about ? Used to be round I think ?

Sorry if I’m off track here. Wouldn’t be the first time : )

@djensen oh ? the notification thingy on the top bar wasn’t round

didn’t even realize they had changed until clicking on this. That said, I’ll go with Midnight’s opinion

@plasmaboy

Hi plasmab

The league is here:link text

triplea ladders are here: link text

What game/games do you like to play ?

@djensen you might try asking veqryn on github.

@SS-GEN Good action as always. I use a minus 10 bucks if any allies in Russia to Russia, Bombers can’t hit ships and CAs have to be built at starting major factories.

So pretty similar to what you got going on. I know G40 is a little different, but I like those changes and have used them for a while.

Always enjoy your game reports.

@djensen Awesome! : )

Is it worth it to try and bait a scramble to 110 using a little less than optimal force ? Wouldn’t Taranto be off the table then ?

If so, would having the Italian fleet live be worth the trade of some of the Luftwaffe ?

@DoManMacgee DeGaulle has a 39. looks pretty cool.

Think oztea has one too. Sure there’s a few more out there.

@captain-walker

wow that’s gotta be close to a 50% casualty rate for the 5th

@Mursilis Right on. Let us know how your game goes.

@SGT-Pitbull
Hi Sarge

I’m guessing you mean digitally ? So you can look at a picture instead of setting up the physical board ?

If so, triplea would probably be your best bet as the pics I’ve seen in the past are kinda hard to see detail unless you have multiple pics.

You can’t see the whole map in detail on triplea either, but probably more efficient.

Or do you mean like a print of the physical board ? Like a big poster or map you can roll out ?
