I printed a PtV map image on banner vinyl. Playing our first game on it this weekend!

@dawgoneit @mikawagunichi Thanks guys, appreciate it -
I don’t want to freak anyone out, this is a personal break but I’m in good health and looking forward to coming back eventually. I found that I had crossed the balancing line in my personal life. Need some time away to recalibrate and have healthy space for my gaming addiction(s) while still accomplishing my work/life goals ;)

Cheers

Been playing Stalingrad and Global (Larry Harris 1942 setup with GenCon Tournament Rules) with @mikawagunichi and @Daaras this weekend!

I posted this in the strategy discussion thread, I published a video going over my J2 strategy a couple days ago and a new video today discussing PTV changes from OOB.

@crockett36 said in Anzac Shuck Into Europe:

@FranceNeedsMorePower I think it is imperative that Anzac stay in its lane in its ocean PTO.

Can’t agree more. ANZAC has very limited income and production capabilities. If they are making 20 per round due to NOs Japan is going to be in serious trouble. They can build 2 subs and a destroyer each round and assist the US deep in the Pacific. This is far more effective than shucking infantry into Africa or Gibraltar.

One of the #1 rules of Axis & Allies is to use overwhelming force. For that reason it is better to have most of your income and units being controlled by as few powers as possible. Germany at 80 IPCs/round and Italy at 3 is far more dangerous than Germany at 53 IPCs/round and Italy at 30.

The Allies income is already very distributed, which when coupled with generally longer supply lines, lowers the effect of their income lead. If you take Brazil with ANZAC you are:

1. not projecting any threat of trading islands or securing objectives with that ANZAC transport in the Pacific;
2. operating a very weak power far away from their power base

If you continue down this path, what do you do with the ANZAC infantry if you get them to Gibraltar or Africa? You need artillery, and preferably heavy air support, to go on the offensive.

Spending 34 IPCs (factory, harbor, transport) to then spend 6 IPCs per round shucking 2 ANZ infantry into a theater where they have no ability to project power is a complete misuse of resources and will cost you the game against a solid opponent. If you spent the same amount in the Pacific, you could have an additional fighter and 4 subs, plus another sub each round; as @crockett36 mentioned having a sub count higher than Japan’s destroyer count and the opportunity to shotgun them out to start convoying can do some serious, serious damage to the Japanese economy.

I went through 14 more pages and collected data on 226 more games to input.

Fun, watching it while I work. Love @crockett36’s comment about engineers and accountants, my older brother that got me into A&A is an engineer and I am an accountant. Who would have guessed!

Congrats Farmboy on the 2023 title!

Also, in a wild tech- (and quickly jet-)fueled match, heavy favorite @gamerman01 's Germany steamrolls through the USSR and towards Egypt for a decisive triumph over the Allies, despite Japan withering on the vine in the Pacific.

OOB +51 bid for Allies. I haven’t played OOB and didn’t realize just how weak the USSR is, tried to do too much with it, both stacking Yunnan with the aircraft and rushing fast movers to Iraq and toward Tobruk/Ethiopia for the N.O. cheese.

Tech played a factor, although Gamerman didn’t need it to cement a victory, it just assured it more quickly 😉

Germany got Long Range Aircraft on round 3 followed by Jet Power on round 5, with a purchase of 4 tokens total. USA missed 16 tech dice rolls in a row (1 token round 2, and then 3 tokens over the next 5 rounds).

@regularkid said in League General Discussion Thread:

@Stucifer that is so freaking epic! very impressive. how are you differentiating the marines?

Right now, I have Marines for the US that I got from Historical Board Gaming. However I do not have marines for the other countries, so we are using German infantry with a Japanese occupation marker underneath for Japanese marines.

@regularkid said in League General Discussion Thread:

also, how do you handle the vichy units?

I put a black-backed occupation token on each Vichy territory and left the French units on the board. Since Germany opted for Vichy and the French fighter was lost in the 113 scramble, it’s not too confusing.

I’m also logging each end state in TripleA. Mostly to track income with all the NO conditions, easy to lose track of one. Added benefit since we have to clear the table for an activity tonight, but plan to continue playing tomorrow if the weather forecast holds!

Need to coordinate some on China/UKP/USSR here but should be able to post soon.

@oysteilo Live play is definitely more “interesting” in that way to me, the lack of battle calcs lets you make more risky decisions (and sometimes miss things that are more of a “sure-shot” than your intuition would tell you)

One of our live Tournament games this past November with my teammate @mikawagunichi came down to a battle for Turkey or Spain, one was 70+% odds and the other was 55/45 for the attacker, the attackers picked the 55/45 without the benefit of a battle calculator

If I hadn’t rolled all misses round one, we might have won that one…haha

@crockett36 USA is up good sir
