i have a few playtests going right now. will update when done. So far not so bad. i think China should lose 1 of those AA guns.

@barnee Italy should be able to attack Greece due to its proximity to Albania.

@AndrewAAGamer OOB on TripleA

I play on TripleA all the time bids range from 15-20. Allies can still win with good dice but they have to kind of pick one side and attack it. It does result in an actionless USSR just stack and wait.

when are you uploading the new version to Triple A or can you post the new file here?

here is latest test using new setup.
Interesting developments. I am Axis. Ignored Belgium and have not agitated the Pacific. I wanted to smash the Chinese as they had built a large force in Yunan and i had the firepower to knock them out. Got very lucky as far as casualties. It is UK turn and i believe they will now want to stem the tide in Burma.

Germany got counter attacked in W Ukraine and USSR got very lucky rolls. I will likely have to pull back and wait for reinforcements but the plan is to continue to attack along the Archangel- Belarus-Bryansk line.

We found a few bugs.
Somehow the Mediterranean Power objective is linked to Italy only holding the territories. I think the coding needs to be reverted back to any Axis power. We simply edited the income.

Burma likely needs to start under UK India control. I am exploiting this and we both agreed its probably cheeze that could be fixed.

The Russian navy in SZ100 is unneccessary. The battleship in 115 should probably be reduced to a cruiser because Italy had to use all their airpower to hit it to open for Germany.

So far not too bad other than a few bugs.
Also Game notes need to reflect when USA can enter the war. It’s not clearly stated and my opponent and had to kind of back calculate to figure it out. Might help with planning of USA.

France was difficult on G2 but if you take everything you got and plan it right you can get it.

I did however get very good dice so sustained minimal losses.

We would maybe like to see the Vichy rule in effect on the turn France does go down. This would give Italy a bit more of a chance because now i’m in certain danger with all that UK navy. Would eliminate the ability of UK to land fighters.

the Belgium thing has been fun. So far its screwing up the Allies by not allowing Anzac and USA to utilize the islands. Japan makes up the income by pounding China even harder.
This is fun so far.

The France thing even tho you “could” Sea Lion your not able to because you dont have enuf navy to get it done. In essence we removed a lot of the fighter power from UK. Also reduced intial strength of France but left a major factory. Basically they have time raise up 5 inf divisions and 1 arty division. Waiting on another play test but so far we’re getting some balance. We are debating whether to reduce the damage on the Japanese naval base to zero but leave the factory nerfed.

Here is the latest file1939oztea.tsvg

definitely need to reduce the fighter count for UK i think, in our last game they simply flew all of their fighters to france and demolished the german assualt (twice!!). reduction of initial french troops as well. We can keep the major factory but i think they should end up with about 10 inf and with reduction in UK fighters you should be able to conquer Paris right on time.

we made some edits to the setup after playtesting. i’ve attached the file here

Still here in Houston if anyone is wanting to get a game going.

do as before. supply map cards and rules. we also house ruled that no cards are drawn on the final turn. We also reduced to one armistice card only.

@IWillNeverGrowUp
I have a copy of the map. I bought the game. I am not sure how to scan it though. Kinko’s?
I could probably take a picture of it but we drew all over it with markers because some of the borders were hard to see.

I will try again with the reverse purchases of Arty first.

Well, it was the intervention of the Axis dice gods. I got variance smoked on a calculated 94% win for R in E. Poland and it crumbled. I got diced and the wheels fell off this thing. To me this means one bit of bad dice variance and you’re toast. Which is the case in most games, but this was painful. I held off till round 10 but with R struggling after the dicing there was no hope.

So i tried this today on Triple A. Went all mechs R1, then all arty R2, it was a G3 DOW. I had Finland, Norway, Romania. So i’ve gotten some good paydays and this has allowed the US and UK to begin to bug Germany on the West Coast. i’ve enjoyed this so far and at the onset of turn 6(where we currently saved) Germany has made no progress other than recapturing Norway and taking Leningrad and Archangel which Archangel will be easily recaptured. Ukraine, W Ukraine, Bryansk, Smolensk and everything east still under heavy guard and threat.

I like this so far. I will post additional updates as we continue.

After reading such insightful dissertations, as well as the recorded opinions of the persons on record here, I wanted to create an addendum to be included at the end of the declarations.
I have still come to the conclusion that, EVEN IF the burden of proof as listed in these threads is shown to be true, the flip is still ruled to be CRUEL AND UNUSUAL to the victor.

That being said, the flipper is subject to any and all punishments meted out by the victor(s).
Including but not limited to the following:

1. Bitch slap
2. Ear punch
3. Throat grab
4. Roundhouse kick to the head
5. Groin strikes
6. Rectal stuffing as listed by myself
7. Temporary or Permanent Banishment from play group - to be used only if said flipper is not a close friend and an interloper you met on AxisandAllies.org Find Players
8. In extreme cases, the flipper may be subject to a series of Lord Curtmungus’s special reprogramming sessions.

I have personally never swiped the board. My best friend however got so pissed off once that he decided to slam the table so hard it disrupted all the pieces to the point of no recovery. After about 14 hours of gameplay had been invested.

I simply looked at him and said the following, “If you do that again, I will shove every one of these pieces, chips, dice and finally the game board up your…” Well you know what word I used. It rhymes with gas.

So, no, I don’t believe anyone has the right to demolish the game board win or lose.

S…

might i also suggest our suggested poor boy table. Take a piece of 8X10 plywood and screw it to the top of the plastic table. Much more room to play.

that cat looked dangerous!!!

@SS-GEN there is not attack. he has laid down the gauntlet. In our part of the world (Texas), one of two things going to happen now.

You must accept the challenge or resign in shame and wear a pink sequined leopard print skirt with a lime green tube top, leather boots optional for red shiny high heels.

My wife has some you can borrow if you need some.
