Very nice so far UKcommander. :D
With the Tholians they were introduced during the Kirk era. Their ships are supposed to have a special power dealing with webs trapping ships.
Any chance of adding the Borg?
Also what about the Gorn? Why you leave them out but use the Tholians?
Will you being using rules allowing certain ships to cloak?
Keep up the good work.
Why not let bombers roll 2 dice when deciding their damage when doing strategic bombing runs?
I agree too the costs are fine. It is balanced!
Germany is the key. Both Russia and UK can be threaten in the early game by Germany thus the Allies should go a Europe first plan. That doesn’t mean they ignore Japan. It’s just that Germany should be the allies first thought.
If you could UKcommander could you post what ships and the stats you will be using? What dice will be used in your game D6 or D10 maybe?
PLEASE POST YOUR STUFF AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!
Hhmm Glider units now that sounds nice. But mine would look like this:
Attack: 0
Defense: 0
Movement: 4
Cost: 3
Gliders were not known to be armed and they were cheap to produce thus my stats.
MistaBiggs, why not add both China and Italy?? Board may have to be changed some units added as well. But could be done with some work.
TG Moses VI, that variant sounds real good please post what you can when you can.
Please post some of it on this thread so we can take a look.
Supply lines are key in the Asian mainland area!!! With Japan being off the coast of the Asia she can easily send mass ground forces into that threater of war.
Then you might say fine as a ally I will build a IC in that area like in China or India then you risk the chance of Japan caputring it!!!
So it looks like to me that Japan has a edge in this part of the game.
However, that being said IF the allies build a IC and can hold it in either India or China then the allies will have a chance to stem the army of Japan!!
DAMN I LOVE THIS GAME :D :P :wink: 8)
I’ll stick with my first response, Spain is not needed to defeat Germany.
Yes taking it can help sometimes, but if you think that Spain holds the key then watch out. While you are focusing on Spain the German player might take England after you have taken Spain. So becareful about being so excited over one area!!!
I’m sorry to inform you Hanso that money won’t by itself fix the problem.
Look at D.C. It spends more money per student than anywhere in the country and has a poor record. It takes more than money to teach kids.
It takes good parents, good teachers, and a student who wants to learn to fix the problem!!!
But why make them a major power for that? I would make them a area in the game controled by the Federation.
In the real war late in 1941 when the Germans were threatening Moscow
Stalin was able to call up fresh reserves from Siberia. What if this was added to the game??
Let’s say that as soon as Moscow is attacked the Russian player gets free units. For example 8 infantry, 3 tanks, 2 artillery, and 1 fighter!!!
These units are placed in Moscow when the attack happens.
My advice:
1. Leave that infantry in Libya.
2. Move the tank from Tunisia to Libya.
3. Add one more infantry to Libya.
4. Remove the artillery from Greece.
5. Add a infantry to Sicily.
6. Add one more destroyer in the Tyrhennian Sea.
Why Spain?? The allies can take down Germany with out it!!!
It’s a tie between 2 places.
1. A IC placed in South Africa by UK in the first 3 turns.
2. A IC placed in India by UK in the first 3 turns.
No the idea was building a Russian Navy after Germany had fallen but the Japanese player wouldn’t give up with out a fight.
Thanks for agreeing TG Moses VI, I thought this idea wasn’t that bad for the allies. I hope some people are trying it out.
It was just something different to try instead of bidding.
The Liberia thing can go really well or really bad. How long we stay and what we do depends on the patiance of the American people. And since we live in a fast food world here I have a bad feeling about the whole thing.
If American soliders start dying in Liberia and We are still in it knee-deep in Iraq, watch American support go away real fast!!!
Germany has only 2 real options in the game.
Go after Russia or go after Britian! America is too far to threaten.
With Russia, Germany must invaded and then mass tanks, infantry, fighters, and maybe a bomber or two and go straight for Moscow!!!
With defense just mass Infantry in France to absorb the up comming D-Day. With North Africa attcking it or ingnoring it is up to you.
With Britian, Germany must hit the UK and prepare transports, But you should still launch a limited invasion against Russia as a spoiling attack to disrupt the Russian player.
