Gettin there. Got 3 countries done. 6 to go. New design. 24 cards each deck. 14 good 10 bad. Can use in any game too. Adjust to turns how many cards.

It’s a start. Banzai !!!

Working on a new game.

@poptech said in Bonus Movement is Unrealistic Nonsense:

@superbattleshipyamato You can put more barrels of fuel in a plane anywhere it can land. Here is an aviation fuel dump in China during WWII;

Show me any documentation that planes leaving from an airfield can now magically travel hundreds to thousands of miles further.

This shows you based on time frame this does give you a added move bonus which is all tied into the turn and time frame.

Yes I’ve tried to play with no bonus move from an airbase but 90% of people and in group want the extra move. Based on spaces on map and time frame of a turn.

So what you need to do is come up with your own map or G40 map and make your own game based on your inputs that you want.

You made your point of what you want and think but the bashing about it just needs to end. Prove to every body you can come up with a game with all your ideas and test the hell out of it. G40 has a lot of fantasy and other unrealistic stuff but 90% just want to play this game. Believe me they don’t want the changes.

2 cards a turn could be brutal. Especially if you drew 2 bad cards. Hehe. I hope you and the rest of the guys had fun. Thanks for the updates Ray. - Take care - Mark

Ya 2 cards could be. Just thoughts. Take care talk soon. Next game July 8th

@general-6-stars

That makes sense with regards to the pacific Ray. I can easily see that. You played Russia and the Pacific? That is one tough one to focus on the Pacific and Russia at the same time that is for sure. Techs look fun to use now. Anything else new I would find interesting?

Thanks for the reply,

Mark

No. That’s it. Just redesigning the event cards with a couple added cards and a couple removed from old deck. Would like to sell them and people can use in other games. 14 good 10
Bad. We play now with 12 good 8 bad. But u can adjust this to any game based on turns and percentage of card use. Also if u want draw 2 cards a turn maybe for a 8 turn tourney games.

@aagamer said in General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game:

HI Ray,

So why are you going with the undamaged battleships in Hawaii? I can see the transports? There just not enough stuff for the USA to take damage there?

Looks interesting. Thanks for the heads up-- How many players were you able to get?

Mark

Well Japan played different this last game. So they delayed the US 2 turns. So seeing damage repair is only Ave of 9 icps ain’t gonna make a huge difference. Plus with 2 added transports to Hawaii the money US saves on damage BB can now buy ground in San Fran but still would need to pickup there or other option the money they save on damaged BB can now buy a IC for Hawaii. So we don’t see that much of a huge change.

We only had 4 guys. I played Russia and all of pacific. Wanted to see how tech worked out again

Got another game in Saturday. “Operation Smoky Boo”. Axis won in 5 turns. Germany influenced turkey turn 1 and funneled to the Middle East. Probably get Stalingrad turn 6 with axis losing 2 points in Med still have 30 points for win end of turn 6 anyway.

US came out quick in pacific but then was pushed back home. Then went back to take truk. Russia attacked Japan but luckily japan had NA destroyer express to retake north city back.
Europe side US UK did finally get a push into the Med but was a bit to late.
I’ll try and get pics in order.
Also the tech worked out great in game.
Only change as we played was if you received a free tech with no token or one tech left to go for u could roll a D6 and that’s the tech u got. At least a bit random there which game is all about.
Only change is US will start with no damaged battleships in Hawaii and receive 2 more transports in Hawaii on setup.

@the-captain I’m curious as to why the soviets didn’t destroy the Novgorod Naval Base ?

Stalin felt a coup coming so he took out the leaders !

Played my game Saturday. Axis held off the allies for a win. Start from bottom pic and work your way up.

Redesigning my event cards for the 9 countries with like 12 good and 8 bad per deck per country

@argothair said in Argo's Middleweight Map for 1939 & 1942:

@general-6-stars Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I’m actually in Washington DC these days; I left the west coast. I don’t plan to travel to Wisconsin, but if you’re ever in my neighborhood I’d be happy to buy you a drink and hear more about your thoughts in person.

In the meantime, please don’t post any more secret calculations on my map feedback thread. If you’re not willing to publicly explain where the numbers come from, then I don’t want the numbers on this thread.

If anyone has any complaints, concerns, or feature requests, please send them in – otherwise, I will post the game to the server.

Yep no problem was going by your comment above. I just try to help out most people with suggestions based on test playing. I won’t post nothing no more.

My bud Karl C24 told me about you being a lawyer lol I have a chart conversion but not willing to part with. So I’m assuming if you can’t see it than my opinion doesn’t matter. The 5 punch divided by 13 cost is not .71 That is correct.

Yes The punch/cost ratio against some hypothetical ideal unit that has ratio of 1.
Yes it works in that way.

Also keep in mind if there’s less pieces in your game the more you may lean towards the % hit instead. Depends. But all my games I use the decimal numbers. Yes you will get a piece not quite right but. I be more than willing to see you in person but I know you on west coast. I’m in Wisconsin. Could meet up if you play BBR games east.

@argothair said in Argo's Middleweight Map for 1939 & 1942:

@general-6-stars Thanks for weighing in! I am potentially interested in your feedback, but if you want me to adjust stats based on your numbers, then you will need to clearly explain both what the numbers mean and how you are calculating them. For example, for the battleship, I don’t know what “1.13” or “Sh4” means.

Also, it appears that you have already changed some of my combat stats. For example, my battleship has A5, not A4. My destroyer has D3, not D2. Are those your recommended changes? If so, what is the reason behind those recommendations? Please do as much as you can to explain your logic in plain English, rather than just posting strings of abbreviations and numbers.

Your BB is to weak. Your DD are to strong.
I changed your stats so if I buy a DD, PB, BB or CR I’m getting my moneys worth.
The SH is for shore shot.
The decimal number shows how your piece stacks up to costs for punch.

Your values.
BB C13 A@5 .71 D@4 .57 Shore shot @5 .71
against
2 DD C12 A@6 4.00 D@6 4.00 decimal number tells me DD to strong.

2 DD C12 A@6 4.00 D@6 4.00
against
CR C9 A@3 .89 D@3 .89 But since your CR has the shore Shot @3 .89
and the move 3, plus carry 1 Inf makes up for it being weak against the DD
if it only the CR had AD values plus shore.

Your values

1 BB C13 A@5 .71 D@4 .57 1 hit
against
1 DD C6 A@3 2.00 D@3 2.00

Most people base there Values on Hit % which is fine.

But here I’m buying DD and won’t even come close to a BB.

Mostly its the DD that is to strong in games and CR to weak.

IMO

If interested. Crunched your numbers. Just what I would go with for values based on getting my moneys worth for each piece.
BB C13 A4 1.13 D4 1.13 2 hits Sh4
CR C9 A3 .89 D3 .89 Sh3 M3 1 inf
DD C7 A2 .98 D2 .98 Bl Sub FS
SS C6 A2 1.33 D1 .67 Fstrike
PB C5 A1 .96 D1 .96 Bl Sub FS
CA C11 A1 .20 D2 .40

I go by the decimal number and the DD, SS and PB are good and balanced for numbers.
The CR is always weaker but with the added M3, carry 1 inf and Sh3 is a very nice piece to have now. Most games have CR & Tac just to weak.
I’ve been using the decimal numbers in my games for years.
I may try the patrol boat now in my game. Group may get iffy ! lol
Other wise good luck with what your doing.

Just IMO

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

BB shore shot 5 and CR 3 ? BB shore 5 even if damaged ?
Does your BB and AC drop in AD if damaged ?
3 move CR is basically a fast attack boat with shore shot for islands ?
If your destroyers is 2/3/2 C6 that is to strong compared to a CR C9 3/3/3.

@aaron_the_warmonger said in Was KJF really that bad?:

@general-6-stars Thats a cool board!

Thank you guys.

We also play with National Advantages if that’s another route to go if no tech.

@general-6-stars said in General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game:

Here’s the tech that was in the game. What a change to game here. Seemed at first it was to strong for axis early but seemed to mellow out.
As you can see the Italians were still going for a tech on income tracker we used for that too. Will have some tech country tokens made up for this.

OK. Only 2 changes for tech.
Spy steals a tech event card will now be Spy sabotages tech designs. You will now roll 2d6 dice and total of roll will subtract points from the highest tech on chart. Like in above chart Italy going for a tech. The allies spy sabotages it’s design then rolls 2d6 dice say rolls a 3-5 = 8 points. Now subtract that from Italy’s points from 20 to 12.

Receive a free tech token event card will not be used if you are at 4 max tech tokens. If you have 0 to 3 tech tokens then receive the free tech token you can use it towards a tech now.
