Yeah I saw something with bid systems… How does that work exactly? I put a value of 7-8 IPC’s somewhere with the edit tool?

Yes absolutely! I have to learn both sides anyway :) what side do you prefer?

anyone in for a game of global? tripleA, old or new enemies :D I live in Europe and I’m usualy free on the evenings on weekdays

nobody :'(

Hello,

I’ve played 3 games so far and I lost all 3 of them (or am in the process of losing them :D ). I’d like to play with someone who’s not really too rushed… I do have some times during the evenings on weekdays, but barely no time during the weekends.

Axis or allies doesn’t matter to me  :mrgreen:

I don’t think a submarine classifies as a SURFACE warship.

@Karl7:

I played a Europe OOB game the other day against my dad and local guys back in my home town of Boise Idaho and got absolutely killed as the Axis.  I gave the allies a 28 ipc bid to counter what they claimed was an overwhelming Axis advantage.  (probably very stupid on my part… sigh)  Anyhow, they used the bid to prevent the Axis from sinking the British fleet.  It was downhill there on out.

My questions:

(1) if you don’t/can’t do sealion are the Axis doomed OOB?

(2) did Larry say Alpha 3.9 translates to Europe only?  If so, what national objectives do you use?

I am heading back up to Boise for rematch and want to use updates rules if so.

1. Axis are not doomed at all. I find it harder to win as the Axis when I’ve done sealion then when I didn’t. Doing Sealion means putting too much resources in London.

2. There are no official rules for europe only. A couple of threads down there’s a discussion to wich NO’s etc are being used.

@wittman:

No. Surely rules say ships have to have an attack value.

the rules only state this

5 IPCs if there are no Allied surface warships in the Mediterranean Sea (sea zones 92 through 99). Theme: Propaganda and strategic advantage.

As far to my concern they can stop the NO… As they can easily be picked up by axis planes or ships.

whenever I see my oponent making a really dumb move, I make him aware of what could happen. I don’t really like ending a game just because he did something REALLY stupid. That is when I play my friends in real life…

This doesn’t really apply the other way around, but seeing as I’m the most experienced player in my group of friends, I don’t really mind it…

I had the same thing once… we were playing 1942 and I left London undefended where I mistaked his german transport for a cruiser. Bam, lost London…

do you play OOB or alpha rules? Because in the OOB version it is unbalanced. But they fixed it in the alpha 3.9 rules.

Oh don’t worry about that :) I usually don’t really have the time to play this game in the weekend anyways… Take care and I’ll see you on the virtual battlefield whenever you like  8-)

damn chelsea…

ok nice throw, you got 8 hits out of 9 :D I think I’m retreating now xD

I suppose on your cruiser?

ok I got 6 hits

Oh crap, sorry, I went ahead and took your cruiser, carrier, tactical and fighters. I left 2 fighters to survive and 1 damaged battleship… All my units died. If you want, I will redo the turn completely.
