GL HF!

GG. Was enjoyable. Want a rematch switching sides?

good post. Responding to your points:

“(e.g., we no longer see russia getting involved in china as much)”

My experience has been that Russia does get involved in China more often than not, with BM. It just happens later in the game. And early involvement by Russia is still very much a viable strategy. . . see any of Gamerman’s four  games against me in BM, where he played allies. He DOWed Japan with Russia early on in each game, and won every time (cuz i suck).

“we no longer see the russians meddling in the middle east and africa with sometimes a hilarious cat-and-mouse type game going on there,”

I note that in your games against both me and Adam514, the Russians were very much involved in the Middle East and Africa. In more typical games, its true you won’t see Russia making a beeline for Ethiopia, Libya, etc. But, personally I don’t miss Russia’s  adventures in the Southern Hemisphere. It may be hilarious, but its also a ahistorical and a bit gamey. I guess this one’s a matter of personal taste.

“i have yet to see a j1 dow”

It is true that J1DOW is not the slam-dunk that it is in the vanilla game. One of our goals with BM was to nerf J1DOW somewhat, while keeping it viable. Notably, Adam has J1DOWed in the majority of his BM league games, where he played Axis. He won all of those games.

“ok so what you’re saying, basically, is that you’d like to make the uk1 fac in egypt vanish from the playbook. . . .maybe from now on i’ll just plop all inf in london and call it a day? that’ll be my opening playbook from now on lol”

lol. The Mod Squad is still exploring the extent to which the proposed UK/Egypt NO would restrict UK’s strategic flexibility. It has been suggested, for example, that an Egypt FAC on UK1 would still be viable, provided UK buys 5 inf, does not scramble, and does not taranto. The question then becomes whether this opening leaves the Egypt FAC too vulnerable to capture?  At any rate, given the substantial benefits a UK1 Factory in Egypt would confer, I have no problem saying to UK: “If you want the factory, you have to walk a narrow path to get there.” To be continued. . .

It’s OK!  Nice of you to say that though
I don’t normally turn down a challenge - only when I’m too busy, which I won’t be soon

ill post it gg

sounds good, I’ll set it up today or tomorrow
