@Gargantua I’m just glad this casual pleb can throw you wily veterans a couple curve balls :)

Average dice results in 100% odds, plus-25 TUV, 6.75/12 units remaining. Reality: US retreats with 1/12 aircraft surviving, leaving 5/8 defenders still alive, minus-94 TUV. Entire Allied fleet is forced to flee SZ6 and abandon korea factory. Awful!

I’ve never had that issue. Can you post the file here or post a screenshot of the scenario?

@Private-Panic Be less irresistible!

@witt LMAO I do have 2.5
Thanks for helping clueless Leo out, Alice!

i remember when I first read the rules I thought it meant any territory with an operable air base or an island. Imagine my surprise in my first online game when I stacked SZ96 UK1, thinking I could scramble from Malta. Oysteilo crunched me!

Must always have an operable air base to scramble

“Major industrial complexes can only be built on originally controlled (not captured) territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher.”

pg 27 Europe 2nd edition will answer all your questions on the topic.

@Wittmann we just had our first snow of the year. Maybe the cold clouded my judgment!

@brxxx It was. Very cold so there was no lines for the lifts!

@Wittmann serves you right! I am suppose to attack you, not the other way around! 😄

@simon33 I’ve never played or seen first edition. G402E was first A&A I ever played, then bought. Couldn’t play it much tho because friends’ moderate interest in it faded. So I wasn’t mixing up versions’ rules but I was playing the game incorrectly till I got here. These forums helped clear all that up!

Yunnan simply does not like you

Thanks for the game, fellas!

CPs surrender. Good game

@windowwasher damn, thats a good one

@Private-Panic said in Napoleon 8-players Game #14:

@Colt45554 -59 TUV!!!

💪🏻💪🏻

Could someone tell me when the new season starts? Is it just calendar year January 1st? Would like to try League then.

Are the “moderators” for the site also the League moderators? Or is there specific/main League mods?

As for Gamerman’s question, credit again goes to Witt for suggesting League to me long ago.

The answer depends on how good you feel you are. Some players on here would give a new guy Allies+80.
IMO, Axis is easier to play than Allies, even for newer players

@Private-Panic no I want a full refund on that lost TUV in the Black Sea with Swedish dead as the payment!
