It’s a very cool idea, but a major task. Also, it kind of stretches quite far away from the pretty straight-forward A&A-mechanic of building units and rolling dice. In this Cold War there seems to be a lot more emphasis on diplomacy and events. Not saying it’s bad, but likely it will be a very different game from A&A in the end. Perhaps it should start off as such?

Sure, go ahead.

In hindsight I guess it’s a bit stupid to do landbattles in China with Yamamoto on the first round. Those units can instead support Hishaichi.

I’d like the BM3-construction to be active in P2V as well. It made for a lot more tension up north, both Russia and Japan hesitating to DOW and wanting the other nation to do it.

@trulpen dont be so hursh on urself. this is like chess with dices. very hard to play on high level.

Thanks! I agree. Though I’m a decent chess player, so when I make silly mistakes here I do get disappointed with myself. But I know I’m a fairly good player. Still got lots to learn though.

Sounds like a better strategy. Hong Kong is not a bad target, but think I should’ve focused only there.

When UK controls Yenisey, it is converted to UK-EU and not UK-Pac. Timguska and Evenkiyskiy, which are the border, are correct though.

I see that you missed taking Sweden and Switzerland with G in NCM. You can adjust for that.

the chinese were suspiciously lucky this round, won all battles, 2 of which were not in their favor while taking few casualites

They were also very lucky on defense.

I’d like to give my input on the division of z38 by Malaya. I think that was a bad solution. Inhibits movements to the west, so J is actually confined to stay east of Malaya. Gives some weird effects and seriously hampers J-strategy. It tips the balance in the Pac far too much in favour of the Allies. Imho.

Of course forgot to move the 2 subs by UK that I thought of moving at the start of G15 due to the fresh des by Canada.

Haha, and the bent-legged sailors trying to make ends meet in a ditch.

No, I think I don’t get it.

With the division of z38 Calcutta has become completely out of bounds for the JN (which if they go there won’t make it back to Philly or any other key areas). UK-Pac just got a miracle save not having to worry at all about amphi-landings in Calcutta. It’s a very bad mechanic concerning game-balance.

I think I should. :)

@trulpen no idea, try moving the hisaichi des through that british sub by the philipines

I did and it wouldn’t allow it, which feels pretty awkward.

@WindowWasher said in #1 trulpen (X) vs WindowWasher (A) WaW:

so with yamamoto, ive taken the entire philipines, on the 1st round, and with hisaichi i take hongkong

I think having that factory with Hisaichi would be better.

2. Proposal B: Keep the carrier costs and scramble/plane capacity the same. And limit the maximum number of planes that can be scrambled from each sea zone to three planes, regardless of how many carriers are there.

This is the preference imo.

It will solve a lot of the issue while still keeping basic factors the same. It also aligns more to the basic scramble-rules from ab’s.

Sure, it’s possible then to scramble to a sz from several different sz’s. The problem with that strategy is that dividing the fleet makes it sensitive an susceptible to attack. Can hardly be worth a blocker to sacrifice a couple of carriers with air, right?

A carrier costing 20, but carrying 3 air, is a lot more powerful in itself. This makes Japan come into it’s air/carrier-sweetspot earlier, which should be good for them, upsetting the balance in the Pac. Of course, Japan har been seeiously nerfed lately, so perhaps it would be a good thing.

However, it would be simply awesome for Gwrmany for exactly the same reason, when the carriers are also able to support land-areas.

Very exciting!

Any NCMs for UK?

Amazing. Of the two attacks I made on territories with aa-guns, both figs were shot down.

We were.

A very unorthodox and creative game (on the Allies part atleast). I’m on to Italy.
