EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
@beelee hey B. Greeting from Chiayi now. I survived
And my new DJI mini 5 got some good footage of the MiangYue (silent moon) abandoned railroad.
That climb is actually not technical but this trip was just a scout and any actual summiting was more a dream of all elements coming together perfectly. And they did not.
So I’ll have to return.
Thanks for the axis allies stuff. Despite my reading all the rules, the house rules, the custom rules, the dreamers rules etc I still feel
Overwhelmed.Will just have to play some turns to get a feel for all this.

Sweet
I actually did a little research and it looks like a fun climb. Not as technical as I thought Those are for kids Yea after about 2-3 games people tend to pick it up. I read the rules or parts of every day for 2-3 years when I was modding it for triplea.
I still have to read them lol so does the Captain
Anyway, it's all about fun. It's a bit more involved than some care to deal with. You doing good man

@johnnycat Super jealous of you being in Taiwan. Looks like unlike me, when you have a work trip, you are able to mix in some tourism. I am a mountains guy but unfortunately, at my age my knees can't hack it anymore except for hiking up things like Smoky Mountains with my kiddos. Raw octo must not be too bad since it's a regular appetizer for you. When I was in Japan, I ate some seafood that didn't even have a word for it in English according to my bilingual friend I was visiting. Good times. Love those Hot Baths there followed by green tea and sake - aahh. I digress. Yes, you can redo your turn. Beelee is always a gentleman about that as well. This game is already way more interesting than I thought it would be. I suspected a typical learner's game. What I didn't expect is that you pulled out a JC Russian Tank gambit and intuitively know how to play China well. You are also getting ready to lay down a D-Day smackdown which I have not yet seen somebody else do exactly as you are.
Yes, it's a common play to build a minor factory in Egypt. Really helps anchor your African/Middle East defense and allows UK to help out Russia by trickling units up through Persia/Caucasus route. But make sure you can hold it if you do build it because capturing an Egyptian factory looks mighty tasty to Benito and his Fascist buddies.

calamari is what we called it in Alaska. Although we did actually cook it. Not for long though
Fisherman buddy would bring one in once in a while
Sake Banzai !

@trout
WOW. We really need to get on a phone and chat some I’d say. Lots in common from what you’ve been writing.As far as the game goes: rather than redo how bout we just make those minor corrections.
Maybe help me to clean up. @beelee could maybe help too.As I recall :
-
I built more than 3 on western USA. So I’d have to move some crap to central I guess.
-
As B pointed out, I stacked an elite in the northern UK I think. So either I’ll take the cash back and put an extra inf in London (which seems like normal) or you could go out on a limb and pretend that elite dude invaded Ireland (assuming there is a land bridge. I don’t recall how this game does that Uk-to-Ireland move )
Not sure I messed up anything else but I dunno.
Thoughts ? Comments ?
PS. You both in Texas now yes? You guys ever meet? I guess I’m curious to chat about more than the game so I’ll just PM ya both.
And what yall think about my idea to make video tutorials for this thing ? This thing being “Axis and Allies G40 - with Captain’s House Rules” <— please tell me the correct name of this game if I got this wrong.

Yea amazingly there is a land bridge to Ireland in the Global 40 World
Easy now. I'm a yankee albeit a midwest one
Yea crockett gonna do a video on his channel soon. If I'd finish my Game report from the multi he'd probably start on it
I only have a year and a half to go. I will try and work on it after my nap Anyway, the more the merrier I say
The Captain had talked about it but as far as I know, nobody has done one yet. Video that is.Yea I'd just edit a dude to UK and remove the extra Elite in Scotland. I can't remember about the WUSA place. Trout will dial you in.

Yea it'd be a lot of work. I started a while back with some examples at the other site for how triplea does it. A lot of it is out of date now though.

Actuall crocket did an interview with the Captain and he talks quite a bit about the mod there
He's The Captain towards the end of the list
