@trulpen sure, but dont bother “resigning”, this was a test game. Lets just play a new one

@surfer yup, that was tough, start of game japan was like that for 5 turns straight it sucked

@akreider2 yeah… that’s pretty out of my league. Id simply like to analyse some game data from many different players of different levels to develop a little cheat sheet that would tell you how to play against each strategy and skill level.

maybe neutral flyovers because it is really annoying that you can hit all neutrals but you cant fly over them, not like you’re at war. just something ive notived from my game

“Rolling for Convoy Blockade Damage in 37 Sea Zone. Rolls: 4,2,6,3,4,5,3,1,4,2,5,5,1,4,1,2,1,6,2,5,1,2,1,1,3,3,4,6,3,2,5,6,3,3,5,1,5,2,4,3,6,5,2,1,3,6,6,6,5,2,2,2,2,3,5,5,5,2,3”

thats a lot of rolls

the model doesn’t, i don’t think. What i was proposing was to make a variant model for G40 in which the user would manually account for things not represented by troops or IPCs.

yep, had a 38% on it and wanted to take it, good move.

I think you underestimate the french as well, but we shall see.

i’ve defeated the AI soundly as both sides, im going to up their resource multiplier and see how it goes

I don’t believe that separating them is a good idea. I just think that everybody should know how to play OOB/BM3 (theyre similar enough in my opinion) and have PtV as another option if both players want to do that.

Has anyone ever tried to use all 3 Axis powers to win in one side of the map?

For example, Germany and Italy go all in on Russia with their entire economies, just rushing to take the 3 Russian cities, and Japan fakes an attack on India with transports staged in Malaya, and instead of landing in India, it continues to take Egypt giving the axis all the cities they need to win in Europe.

Or on the flip side, Germany and Italy do their best to invest as much as possible into the middle east to take India, and japan only focuses on ANZAC or Hawaii giving Japan the cities they need to win in the pacific.

Not sure if this has been thought of or tried very often, if it has please link something to an original thread.

@trulpen completely forgot that the dutch are afterwards, sorry, working on it now 5 mins

Good luck!

• Sub in 98
• Bomber in Egypt

For the European side victory, Japan would spend the first few turns taking DEI and China and normal Japan things. Italy would expend it’s Mediterranean resources into delaying allied control and invest mainly into its air force or can opening for Germany. Germany would literally only buy planes and tanks. If Germany sees that it can take Moscow say… G6, the Japanese player would do a J2 declaration and take the DEI with transports hopefully not loosing too many men. Then he’d stage his transports, and all carriers with a destroyer off of Malaya on J3. J4 the Japanese player would move his ships to SZ78/79, SZ76 on J5 and SZ 81 (egypt) on J6.

This would require the Japanese player to use his starting carriers and transports along with transports bought on J1, leaving all further Japanese purchases to go to defending the DEI and taking china.

If the Germans (and Italy in this case) are going all in on Moscow, from my experience the allies cant get a meaningful amount of air power to Moscow without making sacrifices elsewhere.

So I believe that the European victory idea is possible, but I have to agree with you for the pacific side victory, I don’t think thats possible after some thought and seeing your reasoning

no… no please… not a navy…

@surfer I wanted to ask you about your japan opener. Were the tank in Kiangsi and the truck in Anhwe put there on purpose to blitz Hunan? That put china is a huge pickle, china had to go all in on a 75% chance of holding Hunnan, and if it didn’t work out, you had India J3 or I’d have had to declare war (maybe). Im definitely going to use some variation of that move.

@J-o-C welp, yours is quite a bit better than mine lol

given what you brought, id have chosen max d

@surfer I’m trying really hard on this game… Tryna get creative!

@Axisarmpit It depends on who the players are, and at what level. Brand new allied players could need a bid of 60 because they dont know how to focus on certain objectives and properly utilize their IPCs. But more seasoned players could only need a bid of between 0-20 depending on the strengths of the two players. This is for OOB btw

sure, have at it

Oh, before I roll, i did my NCM in with the combat move to save time and for the ease of planning. I’d like to be able to change anything that was not a combat move.
