Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.7.0.3, time: 10:05:03

Ok I’ll start in a minute

As the co-champion in the Origins 1914 tournament I might have a little insight here maybe…
My partner at the time also won the GenCon 1914 tourney as well…so I know how he plays.
By now he has probably over 30 games of experience…6 games in tourney format.
I myself have played the game 10-12 times- 3 in the tourney format.

The tourney format at GenCon and Origins were slightly different than Larry tourney rules (here -->

(http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18335)

…GenCon/Origins adopted them but changed 2 things:

1. They didn’t use the new setup

2. They allowed US to enter at turn 3 instead of 4.

This yielded in an average 18-20 IPCs given to the Allies in order for the other side to take the Axis.  However, personally I like the tournament rules AS written by Larry WITH the setup changes and the US still entering on round 4.  This makes the bid much lower too- balancing the game better IMHO.

Yes sorry about that,  if its G40- I want a league game.  If its G42 then its casual.

I think I play better if its more than “for fun”.  Sorry, I’m out.
However I will play a G42 game for fun…interested???

Oh ok, I’m sorry, I’m out then…I just want to play a league game…sorry.

BTW…you will find a much better chance of getting a game in if you declare it as a league game.  Check out the “league” section here

@souL:

I like it to be sporting.  I’ve seen france fail to fall and the axis still win.

An opponent of mine a while back failed at taking France…so instead he took it with Italy and he was actually doing very well…in fact I thought he had a very good chance…I encouraged him to keep going but alas he threw in the towel on round 3.

You are right though, I should have just tried to play it out for kicks- oh well…

Yes I suppose armistice is the wrong word.  Point is trying to incorporate the impact of the A-bomb race…as I believe Germany was trying to invest also.  The A-bomb technology is something that is really not addressed in this game.  It some sense I always felt it should be simply bc of its effect on the war- virtually put the war to a much quicker end.

Any power with this technology alone would have extreme power to turn the tide very quickly for their side.  Its just a difficult thing to ignore.  Mechanically its always been a challenge to incorporate without being too dicey- than again this was meant to be played with tech anyway which players know “dice up” the game.

Game mechanic wise I see it working as a timeclock so to speak.  12 rounds to me is fair enough to let the game play out far yet begin a “timeclock” scenario with an A-bomb type mechanic- maybe like a Defcon 5 thing in Twilight Struggle.

I was thinking a single power could gradually save up six tech tokens (not roll them throughout the game- $30 worth)- and starting in round 12 “buy” the A-bomb tech and force the current round to be the last round.

I don’t know…just brain storming…what’s the best A-bomb house rule you guys have heard of…please share I’m intrigued!!!

Scramble???

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.7.0.3, time: 22:44:48

Got hosed in France- French ended up winning by a unit.  That’s usually about 1/20 games that happens to people.  I think its the second time for me. 
You can chalk that up as a cheap win b/c I give in after that.

Instead of restarting I just redid the battle from the combat move, assuming everything would be the same.  My buys were different though, I changed to 2 trannies instead.  If you think this is too “out of order”, I can restart it fresh- no problem.  Just let me know.

So technically, you win game1 and we are on game2.

How would you like to handle this French fiasco???

Name the units you want to put down and where and I’ll start the game.  I’m assuming that you cannot save any leftover cash and such…I think that’s the league rules…I forget.

I’m sorry, I mean I’ll take the Axis and you keep the +12 with Allies.  Correct now???

I’ll take the Axis and you keep the +14.  Did I do this right???  I think so…hmmm that’s different…but hey, I got no problem with it.
