G1 on Russia! Unfortunately dice in E. Poland were somewhat rough for him but the perfect drive-by through Yugoslavia should salve that wound a little.

UK obliterated the Italian navy at Taranto (excellent choice given the G1 into Russia), Regia Marina hit back some, but is certainly living on borrowed time

@crockett36 I saw your comment but just finally looked at the game…

@daaras and I have been playing in person this weekend, back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow 🤓

@crockett36 said in League G40 Team Game - Stucifer/Crockett36 v Daaras/FranceNeedsMorePower:

@FranceNeedsMorePower yes. Have to brush up. Fabulous game

Man I want to check it out but don’t know if I’ll have time. The G42 tournament is quite the commitment 😬

Giving you 90% odds to kill all the German planes on Greece was not in my game plan surprisingly

@Daaras I made a mistake on Italy’s NCM and the land units in N. Italy should be in Greece (the ones from Gib) and S. Italy, going to edit on Germany’s NCM

It’s certainly got a bit of a learning curve. I have tried to play it over the board with @mikawagunichi and @Daaras and it was quite difficult to manage.

I would love a passion project where they take the islands split sea zones idea and put it on the regular Global map. Big World does this quite well but doesn’t have air & naval bases (air bases or some sort of scrambling rule is a must , to me)

@simon33 SZ 99 was close! Italians getting that hit round 1 almost clinched it

the dreaded AA hit

@crockett36 said in Post League Game Results Here:

Andrew,

Stu and I have tried your adjusted setup twice, switching sides. The Allies are cruising to victory on both occasions, but we are normies. You might want to invite someone big to do an exhibition game against you and your setup.

An exhibition match between a couple Titans of the OOB game would be rather interesting to see!

Skipped scramble but I do realize that I forgot to include the fighter from W. Ger - it was still 100% either way I guess - and wasn’t worth blocking the bombard by TUV.

Hey wanted to inform you of this and allow you to change UK NCM -

French Territorial Control: […] "Vichy French territory operates the same way as other Pro-Axis Neutral territory[…] Fly-over restrictions applicable to other Neutral territories do not apply to Vichy French territory. "

My tactical bomber in Rome can hit Iraq and switches the combat from 6% attacker to 95% attacker. Figured you would probably not stand your ground in such a case, let me know if you would like to edit!

My posting may be slow/nonexistent until after Oct 12- have a trip this weekend and then family coming to town for a wedding on the 12th

@crockett36 Make it 7/8

@ArtofWar1947 (Axis +12) well-deserved win over Stucifer

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1776844

@Booper Thanks, that’s exactly what allowed it-

@FranceNeedsMorePower It’s a bit sneaky. They got rid of in Path to Victory which is my preferred game… but makes it tricky to come back and play OOB since I forget I can do it half the time.

@FranceNeedsMorePower @crockett36

We played Allies all three games and had a ton of fun. Looking forward to the next tournament!

• Game 1 we played against Panzercraft (they won the tournament). They took Axis at +10 and bid a fighter to attack the Indian Ocean fleet in 39. Round 1 of battle they had four @3s and one @4 and rolled all misses. Then the final battle on Italy’s turn came down to a 55-45 chance battle in Spain…and I rolled all misses round 2 to defend. We had a tiebreak loss at 125 IPCs - an epic game! (about 9.5 hours all said and done)
• Game 2 & Game 3 were a lot of fun. Game 3 we did a VC defense of Sydney and India in case they tried to win with 6 in the Pacific. We bought 4 bombers with Russia round 5 but these games both only went 5 rounds so they didn’t get used which was too bad haha

We really think having a set 6-round game and then doing the chess clocks to keep both teams honest on using too much time would be really good for the competitiveness of the game. Not knowing for sure if the game is going to go 5 or 6 rounds (or 7 if you’re playing fast? is that possible!) I thought made it really hard to plan as you need to know for your round 2 buys with a lot of powers especially USA.

What do you think about this?
