@Martin said in Martin (Axis +6) vs TGC (Allies), Classic Tournament Game #2:
Very good game from you - as always. I am sorry I could not be more of a competition. Good luck in the next round!
The dice were unkind to you my friend. Good luck in the rest of the tournament!
@ManuC23 I don’t mind going back and replaying this game from the turn prior to the occupation of Afghanistan since I don’t feel that affected the game’s outcome. I feel the allies already had the win and this move simply sped up the inevitable.
I disagree very strongly that it is a norm in classic “not” to use neutrals. This game is famously “broken” due to the strategy of the western allies landing in Spain. It so common it has a name: Spanish Harlem.
I didn’t use Spanish Harlem on purpose because of another axis and allies player: @gamerman01 In the axis and allies classic league it was floated that ONLY spain should be off limits and therefore preserve more of the original flavor of the game.
But I agree with you 1000%. Neutrals should be impassable mostly because of Spanish Harlem, HOWEVER when you understand that air units can capture neutral territories, there is a level of “gaminess” that goes beyond the country of Spain or anything that happened in our game. Imo, its the only angle of this game that the designers missed: making neutrals impassable as an optional rule.
I prefer to play with neutrals being impassable and think any future games between us should use that house rule.
@ManuC23 said in TGC vs ManuC23 - Classic, Restricted Attack, no bid:
@The_Good_Captain I could have left 6 more infantry in the Caucasus, and thus forced the withdrawal of your Russian forces to Moscow, but even so the UK troops in Syria, passing to Persia would control the region and although I sacrificed the German tanks in Persia against the English, there would be enough left to cause great casualties against the Japanese army, which would be weakened for the next turns if Russia enters Asia with everything, I made the mistake of manufacturing too many tanks, wasting ICP when I could have had many more infantry and units in general in Asia, I also did not work well the flow of transports from Japan.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I have played hundreds of classic games in the last few years and YES. Too many tanks too soon and you dont actually need to buy any industrial complexes. Two transports is practically the same price and you can setup a large string of transports to extend your reach to Africa.
Well done my friend. Good Game!
@VictoryFirst will send you a pm shortly
@VictoryFirst we dont have much experience with the game and I feel we are not playing well yet lol.
@VictoryFirst air units cant attack desert spaces when they should be able to do that. (ill just casually post things we find =)
