@mikawagunichi Went max D on your Carrier since you had some landing spots, and didn’t scramble to maximize.

@Culann said in PtV - Mr_Stucifer vs Culann:

…all those juicy transports.

Anxiously looks at Pearl harbor

SO JUICY

@Matt-Hyra
I thank you! I have to say the combined scout cars/bomber attacks can be quite brutal with the supply constraints.

We all enjoyed your game very much on our epic axis & allies weekend. We probably played it 6 times 🤓

October 2020 - January 2021 is now complete, @MrRoboto can update when he has time.

@Culann Scramble won’t matter in 32, go ahead and roll it.

@cmmiles that’s how we played it out, I could see an argument for the other case so I’ll try to ping @Matt-Hyra

@mikawagunichi True. It will cost Italy quite a bit. And you were going to lose Egypt/Iraq regardless.

@questioneer You can see some live game bids in the League area, highly recommend it. There’s a pretty large range, I’ve seen a game as high as 60 fairly recently; however I’d say the majority would be at 40 +/- 10 Allies bid.

@Culann happy to play again with switched sides if you want. I have not played Allies much at all in this version.

Unless the player is generous and gives me a larger than average bid from the get-go. What I’m suggesting is that if there was at least a mild incentive to do so, it might happen more often. Not to call anyone out, but entering over 500 games I see people playing the bottom-ELO players and half the time that player gets a below-average bid, and they are always losing those games.

@Colonel-Mustard You might want to @ a player to get their attention.

Trulpen and COW aren’t active on the boards anymore.

Personally if UK gets a successful Toranto and you are planning on a G2 or and I2/G3 attack on USSR, I would buy two mech and save 2 IPCs round one, and then buy more mechs round 2 - depending on how badly your income gets convoyed - maybe an armour as well if you can afford it. Can opening lets Italy grab most of the 1-IPC territories in USSR, which is important since they are usually losing most of their home IPCs to convoy by round 4/5 depending on Allied strategy. Usually I’m just building an infantry stack to hold Rome after the first couple rounds

@Culann Yeah Germany is feeling pretty good having Rule’d Brittania for a second time. Italy is weak but just needs to HODL for a bit until the American Petrodollar collapses and it’s Fascescoin is worth thirteen Bitcoin again. Japan is using its lengthy tentacles to threaten India and Sydney simultaneously.

Good to start a new game here with you as Axis, I can get it set up in a few ;)

@Gorshak Yeah, I wondered about that too, in the end I think it draws too much energy from breaking China at Yunnan and holding the Money Islands. The IPCs are pretty meager in comparison to the investment needed. I love the addition of the factory there, but I think it’s in Japan’s interest to leave the USSR be and make them attack you first.

I would welcome a rematch, don’t want to hurt your rating too much by winning against me again though 😛😛

@FranceNeedsMorePower to get 10 ANZAC infantry into, say, Normandy. You need 5 turns of transport shucks from Brazil with a harbor and the factory. 64 IPCs. That’s the same as 9 subs and a fighter.

9 subs spread out into a few convoy zones can easily do 12-15 convoy damage (avg per sub is 2 IPCs)

To get an extra 10 US infantry into Normandy in 5 rounds you only spend 44 (2 transports and 10 inf), and you have combined weight of all the other US forces to actually threaten Germany on offense.

New Stellaris patch? haha

@mikawagunichi
I skipped the intercept in Russia

@cloud7707 I don’t remember what rules were being used. I have a couple games going and fairly busy (just moved a couple weeks ago) but if I have time this week I’ll set a fresh game up.

@mikawagunichi Yeah that seems like a fair and easy way to do it. Take it away sir

@cloud7707 too much vodka in comrade’s rations

@Gorshak Sounds good, thanks for the clarification! It was a win for me either way so I would prefer to use your intended actions and will play the file you posted.
