@Karl7:

I agree, Alpha 3 makes sea lion much harder, and probably ultimately a loser unless UK is totally inept.  This is too bad because now Germany’s only reliable strategy is to roll the USSR.  The USSR is and has always been far too weak in all versions of this game, and its defeat under concerted German attack is assured.  Thus the US has no choice but to rush the western European coast – no more KJF. Alpha 2 was better because it allowed for much more strategic variance, not just the rehash of the actual war which Alpha 3 is now forcing.

The only way you are going to make the Axis more competitive in global under any version is to push out the entry of the USSR and US, say to turn 5 and 6 respectively.  Imagine what Germany could do with 2 extra turns in the Atlantic!  It maybe could even get some real forces into Africa.  Under the current time schedule, the margins are too tight and allow for no mistakes or side ventures.

i completely agree! i’ve always wanted an african corps, but germany can never get enough men to africa on time (atleast round 3, if using Sfrance IC) and to them become quite usefull…

BBB,

Second delay of game Warning.

You have all the changes you requested, despite the mix up being your fault.

Another delay of game will result in your forfeiture due to my assumption you now feel that you can no longer win and that you are intentionally trying to delay the game and piss off your opponent in hopes she will quit and leave.

Play or surrender.

Well done Bruce. I’m glad that you won.

Quebec Powaaa !

:wink:

Sure, anytime. You’re a good player that just got unlucky. Looking forward to play another with you.

@BigBadBruce:

I don’t mind to carry on only 2 months from now, but sure thing I won’t play another game with you unless you forfeit or continu this game. (Tournament excluded, obviously)

I did, above.  I conceeded the game to end it so I can focus on work for the next week and setting up the tournament right after.

If you want to play really slowely over the next couple of weeks, we could start the second game on Friday and I can refrain from some of the more esoteric ideas I tried in this one.  But for now, I am way too busy to focus on the 3 games i have going right now (I am not counting the game with gamerman01 because there has not been a move in a very long time.)

Sure, here it is : http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=24474.0

I’ll also rethink G1 and J1… but I won’t change much.

I will try to post as soon as I can, but I have a busy week of assignments coming up next week.  Additionally, my second computer that I was using to run the G40 maps in ABattleMap has died; so I will be unable to post my moves until I can get this computer to work with G40 againor get the other computer fixed (power supply problems) or replaced.

Sorry :|

Bump

Do you have time to carry on with this game or you need more time?
You can forfeit too  :-D I feel Axis is in good shape.

Excellent!  :-)

thanks. you are right.
Quote from AAP40 rule book page 13 “In addition, one mechanized infantry unit can move along with each blitzing tank.”
the mec and tnk must be paired and move to same destination as a pair.

I can play.

Ok.
Thank you for quick and clear answer (as you always do) and thanks Geist for helping.

Yeah, I see it now in rulebook page 9.
Sorry bothering you with this, I could have read it (and remember) at first place.  :|

Game’s thread : http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22260.0

I’d have to agree that Kamikazee just makes no sense on offense, in terms of game play.  I believe the idea is to add extra defense to Japan, since they are out numbered 4 to 1 (China, England, ANZAC and America vs Japan).

Id prefer a multi if possible

here’s view that will clarify your question….

Oh! So true, I just read rules again… obviously I misread it (and misplayed it) with my boardgames for quite a while

Thank you for the added answer! :)

Bruce.
