I add a retreat path to sz96.

You weren’t supposed to do that. No scramble.

Does the set favor the Allies? I don’t see anything in there except Lend lease which assists the Allies? On the contrary, more ways for the Axis to reduce Allied income. Not impressed.

Well… Maybe I should have kept the Atlantic sub as a bonus rather than a penalty.

Claiming the French territories is a big plus for the Allies. Lend Lease makes a pretty big difference for the allies. Also an easy +3 for UK_Pacific makes a difference.

Effectively, UK gets +1 and Anzac gets +1

China and UK?

@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

@simon33 one of us is confused. SZ 113 only has a sub and a transport. Are you sure you want to scramble? TripleA is not helpful here.

Thanks for checking. Right, I will say no scramble then.

@simon33 But it’s an easy common-sense fix.

What do you mean? USA should be able to take the money islands?

@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

@simon33 I should clarify. How do claim French territory? Do I have to kill French units? Which feels wrong.

Step into it on ncm, just like claiming Sumatra or java

@crockett36 I tried to liberate some french territories but it didn’t work. French Central Africa and Algeria.

This was a question. I would have liberated the territory from the Axis friendly French guy if I had the chance.

They are enemy territories now, you have to do it on combat move.

no…

Welcome to the forum Peirce.

Peirce is a great player online, playing allies in BM particularly well. A hard nut to crack. Can’t recall my track record with him but maybe I don’t want to.

Assumed no scramble from Tokyo.

@crockett36 tip cv, lose cruiser

@crockett36 wow, give that marine a medal

@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

@crockett36 hey this is supposed to be a play test. Can you give me an explanation or or or tell me your inspiration behind the French part of this rebalance? If I guessed it would be that taking over Paris would be worth it and that the French troops and the colonies, their territories could be acquired and their troops brought into the army the Allied army? Is that correct and I screwed it up when I attacked the colonial troops instead of liberating them are enlisting them sorry for the dictation.

The main reason is that it really annoyed me that Germany had an incentive to leave Normandy French. Guess it is similar with French North Africa but I found that one less annoying. I think the concept that Paris falls round 1 breaks the intention behind Larry’s Laws.

Oh boy have I been looking forward to this one. OOL in 112?

ok, that surprises me.

53, quite close.

Your sub commanders in 35 didn’t do so well. but in 72 you did great.

@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

@crockett36 Ahab is chasing the white whale!

You mean the Japanese chasing South Africa here?

Guess that’s a downside of the ELO based system. In the old system, you could only lose 4 points divided by your number of games. At least you know exactly how many points you have put at stake when you start the game.

Checking the results tab, you’re 3 and 2 this year. Assuming that is against 4 M players and 1 tier 1 player, that would be 5.1 avg points. I think that would tier E, which is also where you are on the ELO system.

I reckon just a few more games and maybe it will average out. I would hope so.
