Does anyone know of any leagues, forums, tournaments, or competitive play for War Room? Obviously not a presence on these forums, but I’m also not really finding any leagues or organized play anywhere online…

This game didn’t resonate with people?

I’ve seen lots of comments along the lines of, “Germany guaranteed to take Moscow G6 or G7,” but I’m having trouble conceptualizing the right way to pull this off. I’ve downloaded a bunch of games by others, and only very occasionally do I actually see a Moscow take on G6, though I still see a lot of Axis victories.

The few games that have had a Moscow G6 capture seemed to be exclusive Mech purchases by Germany from G2. But is that the only way, or the most optimal? Slow purchased first turn, or transported second turn can contribute to a G6 Moscow fight; isn’t that inherently better? Or do the early-purchased Mech need to be in some territory by some round to make an important hold early on?

Ah I see you’re talking about the percentile for the overall dice of the game. I assumed it was chances for some specific battle.

Heh, I would have preferred being able to take Southern France with Germany, actually… :evil:

TheMaster42

Wah, sorry. Beginner’s luck, it seems. I hate the feeling like a game is going badly primarily just from dice. Almost as bad as ending a game because of some obvious silly move, haha.

Are you talking about chance to take Egypt? I’m totally not experienced enough to assume the context you’re talking about for the 5-8%, lol. But I guess you can’t say, if I’m not seeing something… :|

What a wacky first turn!

London scrambles to gloriously kill German fighters. France drops the most easily I’ve ever seen, and Southern France says, “no.”
