@farmboy Thanks. Personally, I prefer OOB but I don’t imagine I’ll be in playoffs 2021 League but it will be fun to spectate! I dont think the mega bids are a bad thing. Opens up a lot of creative options.

@tin-can-of-the-sea i think Sticky’s suggestion is good, too. You don’t have to take it easy on the guy, but don’t play optimally(if you’re aware how to). The optimization of Axis is how the bids have gotten so high

@Private-Panic
Muhaha! Keep ‘em coming!

dice roller is frozen on beginning of sz 37 battle. I’ll repost, edit in previous battles’ results and let the rest roll out.

Agree with the dissenters. I’m not even sure I would build it if it’s free. If you can’t stop the German scheduled march into bryansk, you can’t stop him from taking cauc and it’s even easier with can-open. You can defend Caucasus or Moscow but not both.

I like the energy but your point would be strengthened if you shared a match link of your plan at work.

I’m up for another. PP, you’ll just have to be my ally!

if you fight 112 my sub defends and is first order-of-loss

What was the UK1 purchase?

@redrum IKR, I would so much rather be holed up in North Dakota than the impressive CO Rockies! Haha

I think you forgot to change the convoy rolls. Looks like my real rolls resulted in 3 damage in sz 98 and 3 in 39.

G40 (Second Edition) is played the most by far, along with its modification Balanced Mod 3. If you’re ever interested in joining the League, you could get acquainted with those. I consider G40 the most fun. I know a couple players who really like Classic and maybe they would play with you.
Some other non-A&A variants I like are Napoleonic Empires, Domination 1914, and World at War 1940. Those are common Team Games here if you’re interested in that.

@Witt acceptable

Are you familiar with the “Balanced Mod” variant? Fighters escort and intercept at 2.

It is an acceptable house rule but in my experience, Japan never needs to bomb a factory, Germany doesn’t need to bomb moscow but it can if it can spare the bombers. I don’t see any players bombing London turn-after-turn because UK should(and in this case definitely should) be spending most of its money in persia Iraq egypt.

The Allies, on the other hand, are the ones bombing factories more consistently. So, depending on your friends’ playstyles, it could be less of a nerf to the Axis than you predict

MARTI is returning the favor from G2, giving you some nice defender rolls haha

ok i moved it east but you can look later

When does a match officially start for the two opponents? Has the question of game dodgers ever came up?
Hypothetical: Opponent Y badly wants to play Axis and tries to whittle Opponent Z’s Allied bid down but Opponent Z sticks Y with Allies(+insert bid), requests bid placement. Darn! Y makes up an excuse like an indefinite real-life obstacle to dodge the match. Do game abandonment rules apply?
Basically, does the match start the moment the two players agree to play or does it start after G1 combat phase posting?

That’s revenge for burning my monasteries 900 years from Napoleon time 😤

And AEV, the “too much on their plate” bit is a good normal reason not to start a game but in this hypothetical, Opponent Y could abuse to dodge

You know it was a good match when player(s) from each side think the war is lost at the same time(mid-game) haha. I would play another.

Wow, did not know about that. I usually save randomly if I’m doing a long turn like USChinUK. Will redo then post
