EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
@trout gripped with fear Stalin cannot decide.
But an aide partial to Siberia took advantage of Stalin’s petrified state to commission 2 $5-ruble tanks to that far east territory that already has two AA guns and somewhere around 15 infantry.

I may copy that move in a future game. There's a few House Rules that are kicking in now that you may not be aware of as it appears you have not previously read the House Rules Rule Book. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion For the Rule Book, click on this link, then in the very first post you will find a hyperlink to the "Revised Rulebook, Axis & Allies Global ...." A few rules in particular you will want to look for are Soviet Guard Infantry, Non-aggression Pacts and the entire 3.0 Section II which has several House Rules regarding the Pacific. Free dudes and planes with the National Guard, and free ships with the "Increased Ship Building", Super Heavy Battleships, and other cool stuff. Also, you may notice I formed an Army Group in Eastern Poland. The rulebook can explain that for you as well.

@trout Thank you for that. I look forward to having super heavy battleships with phasers and warp drive.
I leave in a few hours for a 30-day trip to Asia - I am bringing my computer and I expect to play at least one turn every day - but please keep in mind that I will be 12 hours ahead of you (if you want to know secrets from the Future) so we may be lucky to do more than one turn per 24-hour cycle.
Yea I don't know the House Rules - but why you say you want to copy my Far East Armor position? I looked at the map board and recall the Japan nonaggression pact from my solo play and I just feel that the soviets need to reinforce that front before the Japanese army spreads across Asia faster than a squirrel on cocaine...
But I doubt I would post an entire Guards Armored Division there - or whatever that is called. Wait, why am I telling you this...
Yes definitely I will post all my Panzer General Armies in the Far East...
anyway I will have to read through these amazing bonuses you are telling me about now before I take the next turn so as to not let you and your Axis Armies take over the world without a good challenge.

Hi Cat
I will pray for your safe passage to the godless comunist country you are headed too
lol
I too think the 2 Tank buy could be a good move or purchase to soviet asia.
Peace out
-
@johnnycat My thought on it being a smart play is that Soviets start with a healthy amount of infantry in the east with no offensive capability. But now they do with you giving them two tanks! The only other way to give them offense is to use your railroads. That's why me and Beelee think you stumbled onto a stroke of genius with your decision to do it. Have fun in Asia. It's a brutal airflight but you already know that.
-
@trout nope. Not brutal this time. Business class upgrade rocks !!!
Well if I start a trend with what seems obvious to me I hope they call it the Johnny Cat Gambit, heehee
-
heh heh don't worry Cat. You've already made a name for yourself
Yea Business Class only way to fly. Coach is like a inner city bus ride lol

@trout said in EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat:
stumbled onto a stroke of genius...
NO SIRS - NO STUMBLING WAS INVOLVED. I set out to maximize this scenario and by golly jeepers geeky creepers I'm a gonna does it
hahahahahanyway I am on the plane trying to get all this to work with minimal results so I will just bang out a turn or two without being able to access any of the special stuff

@johnnycat That's a House Rule that you don't have to do anything for. Your comrade slave laborers in Siberia work out of sight and before you start every Russian turn starting with R3, a tank will just appear in the Urals and you can use it immediately. UNLESS the bad guys have Urals territory when your turn starts. In that case, the slave laborers don't work as they are hiding from the Fascists.

@trout Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan.
I love coming here - the culture, the food, the fashion and much more.
I also love your sense of humor - definitely a required quality to make these games even more fun...
I am suffering from EXTREME and BRUTAL Jet Lag but I swear I did Russia's 3rd turn and then you did a move and wrote about it on the Forum and it was Extremely FUNNY...
But as I look around I do not see anything - other than my completely Russia 3 and posting it here. I called it something like "a boring Russian turn 3."
Did I experience a vision into the future ? A first-ever Axis and Allies Dream? Are you still contemplating Japan's third turn?
Maybe you and your wife and still celebrating your 15th year anniversary??
Please advise. I am something like 16 hours into your future.
-
@johnnycat Glad you got there okay. Yes, enjoy the fried scorpions and all of that other wonderful cuisine that you can't get here in USA
You are correct. I missed that you had posted R3. Did J3 now. Decided to stay at peace with the USA. If I promise to not attack Hawaii and just stomp on Australia and other places can we agree to remain at peace? You are from Cali so I assume you are pro-peace yes??? I can even agree to send FDR a daily supply of sushi and green tea for him and his dear Eleanor. See how gracious our Emperor is
