@cystic:
I think i hit Cau faster from the south (i.e. after taking Africa) then from the North, and this is my preferred route.
@cystic:
i also like to take it because it pisses Russia off.
c_c_, you are a contradiction! :) Look in the dictionary under contradiction and your picture is there. :D I love you man! :oops: You add a lot to these fora. 8)
In_k, sorry! Guess I wasn’t clear.
It would be a solo HBMR unit. NOT ALL bmr Become HBMR. The HBMR would have the same limitation(one activity… SBR, attack or attack support.) However it would be noted with a country ID chit under it. In HBMR attacks the defender would have a specific die roll to see if it was hit rather than defender choosing. If destroyed by AA gun, tran defending fire or whatever the player could build another HBMR at the 15 IPCs cost on his next build. Standard bmrs could continue to be built at any time.
m_00, I must disagree! A one HBMR SBR can result in a 3-18 IPCs loss to the defender… a two HBMRs SBR can result in a 6-36 IPCs loss to the defender. The averages would be a 10.5 IPCs defender loss for a one HBMR SBR and 21 IPCs defender loss for a two HBMRs SBR. This is too drastic a swing.
**I think it leans more toward encouraging a desperate attempt, via technology rolls(weapons development)at the beginning or end of the game, to change the expected outcome.
Note: I also believe that the weapons development of Industrial Technology should be altered. When purchasing inf the cost should be 5 IPCs for 2 inf. If you wish to purchase one inf or an odd # the last one will cost 3 IPCs. All other purchases are under the regular Industrial Technology breakthrough costs.
This would stop any Axis/Ally from out INFing his opponents in 2-3 turns. Going from 3 IPCs per inf to 2 IPCs per inf is too big a swing in the game. (See ** above.)
The guy whose posts you cannot read cuz dey bin kilt! :P
Damn, ZZZ!
Where you been?
Thought you was dead.
Of course, I guess a few thought that of me!
LJ,
Sorry I didn’t see this earlier! :(
We coulda pulled this off. :cry: :cry:
Just noticed you are a neighbor in Vevay. I think that’s about 30-40 miles from me(NW of ZInzinnati, OH.)
Stanley!
After all, it’s his cup so he’s got more to fight for. :roll:

:lol: Great comedy! :lol:
I think I posted a similar note here in a previous incarnation/incantation/inebriation. :P :wink:
ctm, I like your style! 8)
Flair w/o glare.
Leaving out the gory details. :o
Sometimes I like details, too! :P
:o I find it hard to believe no one commented. :-?
What’s wrong with it if you don’t like it!?! :evil: :-? :roll:
(Was there a post on this topic here before the website was hacked?)
Wouldn’t you think so? :)
With a little research each neutral country would start with set units units(see ++.) Roll the dice and another unit might be added each round. For example, roll a 1(on d6), then the country builds a unit…roll a 2, 3, 4 or 5, then the country maintains its forces…roll a 6, then the country deactivates a unit.
++For example, Spain might start with 2 inf/1 arm/*1 ftr. (*This is due to evidence of Spanish Nationalist Bf 109E-1s and post Spanish Civil War Bf 109E-3.) Spain would be the only neutral country, I would think, that would have a likely chance(1 in 6) of adding more arm(roll a 5 on d6)or ftrs(roll a 6.) Though Turkey might add more armor.
SOURCE: http://trfn.clpgh.org/tripms/letter.htm#17
Sweden and Switzerland would start with 2 inf. Most other countries would start with 1 or 0 inf(adding only inf.)
It would be necessary to have separate development tables for each country or group. For example, what would be the odds of Rio de Oro, Angola or Mozambique ever building more than 1 inf?
Well!?! what do you think?
GZ,
Welcome back(and goodbye until fall?).
:) :-? :cry:
Sounds good. I’m still interested!
I agree with Yanny, though often never build a Japanese IC in Asia. I build 2 trans on J1 and 1 tran each turn until I have 1 more tran than I have IPCs to load it. This gives me fodder or the option to split forces in a different way(like 2 extra IPCs available to build armor and hit Hawaii or some such.) I am always pumping 8 inf or 6 inf and 1 arm unit into Asia.
@mjcarney2:
well how many transports do you get until you start to use IC?
Again, as for me, I’d rather build an extra bmr or ftr once I have 6-7 trans.
@mat:
Yes i have heard of it :wink:
Wouldn’t the “Nazikazi Version” belong in the house rules forum?Have you ever actually played this variation, Xi?
mat, I guess I ought to put it there, but I’ve never met anyone else who believed/played it.
The guys I played with thought we made it up. Though I don’t think we were coherent enough to be that creative. It was about 28 years ago…we were always looped on beer, hard liquor or…other stuff(you know.) The guys I played with are in a mental institution, prison, on the state Ten Most Wanted list, or a lieutenant(I doubt that’s the right title)in the local Mafia the last I heard. :)

LJ,
What are you a politophile!?!
See…

So the news is that John F. Kerry(JFK) is a member of the Skulls. There need be no more Dem/Lib/Moderate comments about GW Bush being a Skulls member.
How 'bout dat A Skulls v Skulls election!
The Illuminati are coming! The Illuminati are coming! :wink:
Ted Turner Sour Grapes (Vinegar)
In a speech to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Ted Turner referred to Rupert Murdoch( whose News Corp. Ltd. owns Fox News Channel.) Turner said, “He’s a warmonger; he promoted it [the war in Iraq].”
Turner started CNN more than two decades ago and was practically the only game in town when it came to covering the 1991 Gulf War. But this time around, Fox News trounced CNN in the war coverage’s ratings.
Turner’s response: “Just because your ratings are bigger doesn’t mean you’re better.”
Haven’t you heard about the new
rule variation sweeping the world?
The Nazikazi Rule Variation -
On Round 4(specifically, G4 and J4), at no IPC cost,
Germany and/or Japan may click his/her/their heels together 3x,
hold his/her/their left nostril(s) closed
using his/her/their right thumbnail
with the back of his/her/their right hand
resting on his/her/their forehead,
and sprinkle magic pixie dust
(doggie doo will suffice)
over his/her/their opponent(s)
(NOT the gamepieces.)
Upon completion of the above …
if still alive, conscious and able to
continue the game …
the German and/or Japan player
may chose to place either
3 carriers with six ftrs in one appropriate sz or
3 ICs with 3 ftrs apiece in 3 separate appropriate territories.
Note : The current argument is whether to amend the N rule
to allow a player to choose 2 carriers(etc.) and 1 IC(etc.)
or 1 carrier(etc.) and 2 ICs(etc.)!
OUCH!
That would be like playing Risk with no more than
the 20, 25, 30, 40 or 60 armies with which you started!
How Pre-Cambrian!
Latin?
Hlel!
Somebody better suggest a good website for translations.
I tried various words from F_alk’s signature
on three different translation pages …
in Latin, Italian, French(didn’t think so!)
and German(didn’t think so!)
With NO POSITIVE RESULTS!
HELP!
Isn’t there a town/region in Mehico where a lot of gringos have settled
and call home. I heard about it a few years ago.
Don’t Mehicans pronounce Texas “Tay-haas?”
When I was there, years ago,
I spent time in the Yucatan Peninsula,
and Texas was not mentioned
(afaIr.)
Well done, BB!
Multiple sources.
I read three of them completely
and perused the cia.gov one.
:o I believe!
