Alpha rule Amendment: Should the German player be able to attempt to kill Hitler? Roll 1 d6- On a roll of 1 (Success) the Nazis recieve a permanent 15 IPC increase per turn for the balance of the game. On a roll of 2-5 there is no effect. On a roll of 6 (Failure) The Germans must lose 2 Tanks, 3 Mech, 3 Art and 4 Inf.
Please leave your Feedback
Personally, after thinking about it.
I think you should call it Operation: Pants Down.
Hey G I’ll go ya one better>>>>>>>>>>>>How about OPERATION: “PANTS DOWN SPANKING”
@Cmdr:
With most people you would be fine doing that. With a few people, you would literally have to stick with the rule and this is a prime example of why these people require the letter of the law, so to speak.
Although, I would agree that:
Number of games = n
As n increases towards infinity
The limit on the number of games that Germany is in position to take Moscow just before Japan declares war on Russia, and Russia or Japan have not yet declared war is zero.I could be wrong, we do not, yet, have enough data to support my statement, but I leave it to you to disprove my hypothesis.
You are right
@Idi:
Tried what? UK suicide……
Well, lets call it: “Operation: Open House”. Have you tried something similar? Worse case scenario, you’ll become an exiled leader :)
By the way, Mr. Amin (300,000 deaths caused), how is Uganda these days? I understand you successor: Milton OBOTE (1980-85) (100,000 deaths caused) was in turn thrown out by Yoweri MUSEVENI in 1986. I here there is Egyptian styled unrest these days.

Were all friends here so you can call me Idi….
@Cmdr:
Accept, you’re down 4 defense units making the sacking of NSW easier.
The American fleet will help things out
This game was awesome. Rules from it SHOULD be incorporated into Global.
Eat your heart out Larry!
This game also has separate victory conditions for Russia which Global should consider adopting some form of.
Has anyone played this game before? If so what are your thoughts on the game?
Personally, I like how you may place inf without a factory in any of your territories up to it’s value anywhere on the map.
@Idi:
Saving your money with ANZAC is a great idea……What 3 things are you gonna build?
An IC and 2 ACC’s
You don’t need a factory to build a factory. Why would you double your production capacity when on the next turn you barely have enough cash to maximize production.
Thanks for the IC tip….your my hero!
I have played as the US every time i play and i win. I do this by massing a large navy with transports of the coast of japan. then they are surrounded and i take their capitol as Russia and uk take germany. Do you think this is a good strategy
Weren’t you the kid who just started playing 5 minutes ago?
This strategy only works because you are using that exiled capital rule, right? If London falls, UK Europe can be governed from Ottawa, right? Personally, I don’t agree with this exiled capital rule. For one thing, it seems like cheating to me and is very unfair to the other side. It is usually very hard to capture an enemy capital (Paris not withstanding) and once you got through all the trouble and expense just to have your opponent say, “Okay, my capital is over here now”. That’s just not right.
Secondly, if you are going to have an exiled capital rule, why does it only apply to UK? What if Washington falls? Couldn’t the US move their capital to San Francisco? If Moscow falls, couldn’t Russia move to Stalingrad? How about the Axis? If Berlin falls, couldn’t they move to Warsaw? My point is that if you are going to let one country do this, then the same rule should apply to all nations.
This being the case, I won’t be trying this strategy. The UK is governed by London and always will be. London is where the money is and where the decisions are made. If London falls, then until the Yanks come and retake it, the UK will simply have a lesser role in the war for a while.
By the way, in my first game using the Alpha+2 setup and rules, Germany was unable to pull off Sealion and the Allies ended up winning in a 13 round game. Both Germany and Britain lost their navies. Britain eventually built some navy back up and ended up taking Berlin right after the US took Denmark. It was a nasty one-two punch that spelled the end of the Third Reich.Nope, I am not aware of the exiled rule, this idea is a way to save starting UK assets to better redeploy them elsewhere. With the right plan, I believe you can lose London while using the units to neutralize Italy, then reinforce Russia.
I have much more testing and planning to do. I was wondering if anyone else has tried this before?
Tried what? UK suicide……
Any chance of a few mech inf. just for aesthetics?
Voted no.
But….I strongly suspect Idi Amin to be the same guy whose id was : Saloth Star, and whose avatar was Pol Pot…
Saloth star was here big time in december and november and then, after numerous dubious posts (that he used to supress after being proven wrong), poof ! he vanished…And Idi appeard just after that…
:mrgreen:
Isn`t Saloth Sar & Pol Pot the same person….
Well, when i say “less interesting posts”, it is a very generous formula i used instead of just saying : he deleted the posts when he had been arrogant, stupid, and clearly proven wrong…
So in other words he deleted posts that were taking up space, Right
@Idi:
You mean such game breaking posts as “Bombing Gibraltar’s port cuts USA movement by 1/3” & “Hainan Is. as a Port”
These 2 posts were actually his very best ones, and i fully admit they were very good. But there also was a ton of other posts much much less “interesting” that he actually deleted.
To bad more peeps didn’t delete their “Less Interesting” posts……
Saving your money with ANZAC is a great idea……What 3 things are you gonna build?

I vote YES. They act and type the same. Only a Moderator could prove it…
So did you end up with Larry’s job yet?
Voted no.

Hey MEGA do you ever have anything positive to say about this game? Or anything for that matter>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I remember times where I couldn’t even mention the word AXIS, before I started getting a hard time about it.
I learned to say I was just busy doing other things, and usually tried to time it for allotments where I knew she was going to be busy.
That or, convieniently time it with coinciding activities - where you know you will be away - for an extended period.
That’s why she is your “X” now
@Cmdr:
Happy VD day….I have to go work to put together a frazzin meal for myself cause hubby’s out playin sailor…
