Iron War 0.2.7 Black_Elk (Axis) vs redrum (Allies)
-
Yeah, I think I took a licking both times out and this one will conclude probably with a VC in Africa well before reaching the nuclear age, so not sure how informative it'd be in terms of overall balance haha. But for resources my impression is basically the same as redrums.
Not sure how reliable Germany can be as a source of fuel for the team early on, since G has a lot of pressing needs for it. I guess it comes down to whether you have to move the whole fleet or not in a given round. I was woefully on the defensive the entire time, but I'd imagine if staying forward on the other side of danish straits with the navy, that it could be a major drain if you suddenly need to move out for an attack or pull back to survive. Maybe if more tanks/mech had survived out of G1, that may have forced more tough decisions between the two. As it was Germany was mainly trying to hold the line in the east, and Italy didn't have much need, so I haven't had to think about it all that much this game lol.
I'm not sure how much fuel I'd remove at this point, unless you think USA is too flush. My feeling is that there should probably be enough starting fuel for the majors to accommodate the aircraft that are likely to enter play during the first couple rounds, since they seem to drain fuel the fastest, and they are relatively few in number at the outset (meaning players will probably buy several more). When running dry the most expedient solution seems to be leaving a fleet or mobile ground stack somewhere it can camp defensively for a round or two to recover the reserve. It's hard not to move fighters around. Some locations are more attractive for camping than others, Truk and Hawaii come to mind, since they kind of hold each other in check. North Sea Zone, Celtic Sea Zone, Trafalgar Sea Zone, and Tyrennian Sea zone are similar. Or on land a spot like Leningrad or Morocco. Basically places you can stop and set up shop, threatening without actually moving to do so.
I don't know, maybe now that I've had my ass handed to me a couple times and had a chance to see what's what, the next couple games might be me representative of the standard lol

@Black_Elk I'm just getting revenge on you for beating up the AI so many times
-
I do love that machine, it never throws in the towel hehe. Figure I gotta do my level best to fight the good fight here, even if team axis is sweating bullets. I've actually been really impressed with the AIs progress on this map from the first time out till now. I think all it really needs to hold its own against the newb on this sort of map is some way for the map designer to script some decent openers. Not entirely sure what that might look like but I think some dynamic way to set priority land or sz tiles for each nation/team at the outset in the xml would be cool. Most maps have some kind of VC system for the win so I guess that'd be ideal if those tiles were flagged, or same deal with canals. Most of the complex stuff seems to occur in round 1, so I wonder if there might be a way to teach the AI how to adopt maybe like a handful of winning openers. Maybe one has Axis focusing on priority India, another on priority Russia, where Italy/Japan throw their weight one way or the other depending on which strategy the machine falls on for that game. Something similar for Allies maybe where USA drives hard vs Pacific, or Africa, or Scandinavia/Europe depending on the opening script. Not sure what the possibilities are there, but I could see something like that working here or for the some of the standard A&A style maps. A couple guiding hand interventions to set the AI on the right path, since it does pretty well for itself once the optimal conditions are arrived at on the ground/sea. Its just hard to generalize what that is into a universal logic, so maybe the trick is just to give it a script for the first round, and then let it find its natural groove after that.

Got thoroughly smoked by the tank destroyers in Irkutsk. Figured it was worth a run, but losing both fighters in the final clap back was a worse result than we had anticipated. A catastrophic failure that will surely have some Japanese generals committing seppuku tonight hehe. Seems like the Russian line will hold after all. Did slightly better against the Chinese, but still pretty bloody. Alas Thailand is starting to look a bit thin vs the minor triple-team. Their days may be numbered, diving into the final round.

Screwed by Russian tank destroyers yet again. Was hoping to bleed Moscow a bit harder on the strafe there, but G dudded out. Stalin is up

@Black_Elk Oh boy. I think you just pretty much ended it for the poor Germans. Hard to see them coming back from that defeat at the gates of Moscow. Let the Red Army march towards Berlin begin!

Yeah I figured there wasn't much left to lose since Japan failed at Irkutsk, and Axis is getting rolled everywhere else lol. The odds were ok to strafe into the desired position and try to pull a rabbit out the hat next round, but we only put up 4 hits in the first round of combat, which pretty much sealed the deal. Dark days for the Reich hehe
Catch you in a few dude
