@kalzedar Sorry, but that project is on hold… I’ll ask Doug at HBG to bring it down, right now I’m 100% focused on my 2021 tourbament.

@Keven-Wall
Hey Keven, got your info and your payment… welcome aboard.

@kalzedar Thanks for the comments… what is it specifically you mean about “my board for sale”, not sure what you mean simply because a great deal of what I share has always been for free.

@CaptainNapalm said in Questions & Comments for Young Grasshopper:

Hi, YG. Any thought of allowing the alliance to pick its fortune of war breakthrough, rather than relying on a D6 roll?

If you want to bring some unknown into it, you could do a D6 die roll, AFTER picking which one they want, and the die roll would determine whether it went into effect the following turn, or not for 2 turns.

I don’t like the uncertainty, so just throwing that out there as a possible compromise, if you see the value of the D6 and uncertainty.

To expand on my last reply, here are the updated Russian NOs…

SOVIET UNION:

Military Advancement - 10 IPCs
The Soviet Union controls 3 of the following 4 territories: Finland, Poland, Slovakia Hungary, and/or Romania

National Prestige - 5 IPCs
There are no Allied units on any originally controlled Russian territories (must be at war with the European Axis powers)

Lend Lease Archangel - 1 Artillery
The Allies control London, and Russia controls Archangel (Russia must be at war with European Axis powers, free artillery unit to be placed in Archangel)

Lend Lease Caucasus - 1 Artillery
The Allies control Persia, and Russia controls Caucasus (Russia must be at war with European Axis powers, free artillery unit to be placed in Caucasus)

Lend Lease Amur - 1 Artillery
The Allies control San Francisco, and Russia controls Amur (America must be at war with Japan, free artillery unit to be placed in Amur)

@CaptainNapalm I’ve never liked the ability to hand pick your breakthrough, simply because it will expose any chart as to the best 1 or 2 it has to offer, and perfectly balanced charts are impossible IMO.

However, I may allow 2 dice to be rolled so the side can chose one result they like best (of course if they roll doubles, then they’re stuck with that result).

@CaptainNapalm I would like to give you a straight answer, but this NO more than all the others continues to be play tested and refined… Check in on the rules forum thread for any modifications.

@LordPatrick Thanks Patrick, I received your registration fee and your spot is confirmed and reflected in the list of participants above.

May all your rolls be ones.

@bootsontheground Thanks

@LordPatrick Email me your full name, email address, your age, where you currently live, your experience level playing G40 (or how many total games you’ve played) and if you will be bringing your own teammate.
