EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
@johnnycat No problem. I will post another G1 and we can go from there. Paratroopers and Landing Craft both require Edit Mode to make combat, etc. so nobody gets that right the first time. Think of it this way, the person who writes the software code for this game we are playing is Beelee and he is not paid very well for his work. If we was paid $100-200/hour for writing the code like in the commercial world, it might have some of these details worked through better. But outside of A&A1942 which I just don't enjoy very much, nobody bothered to commercially put together an online A&A game. The only reason we have it at all is Beelee has invested months and years of his life writing the software to keep this thing alive.
My first game, I think I flamed out on about Turn 5-6 and had to restart because I was missing it on so many levels; and I still don't quite understand the naval mines thing but I don't mind not playing with them as it's a minor part of the game anyway.
When I find some time, will post G1 and we can start over sir. Safe travels back to USA
-
well actually all I did was tweak the xml from the existing Global game with lots of help from wc and the Dog just to mention a few
I keep forgetting to ask Cat if he knows java. Depends on how old school he is i guess
-
@trout WOW I had no idea that B was at the core...
Thanks to you and @beelee and my apologies for being so frustrated. I just played out our game vs the computer, including the fall of India, and I learned a ton.
Of course, the CPU is rather brain dead compared to a human. But I learned much.
So Let's keep playing - so what India falls. And if we start over at G1 I fear I will not really learn as much.
So as I recall it is my turn. I get on a plane in a few hours tho so I will post that turn in about 12 hours.
Cheers

@beelee WONDERFUL and YES SIR you sure did suggest all this stuff earlier - I was just too overwhelmed to deal with it at the time.
I grew up playing all these war/strategy games and just loving it. This game has caught my interest in that same way so I will continue at it. If it is like many other games, once I get the basic functionality down it will be fun to play.
And yes I know Java - I earned both a MS and PhD in Computer Sincere so I did much... but those days are also long behind me. Having said that, however, if there really is a good need for me to program something I guess I'd be interested. But I hate to over commit to anything...

@johnnycat New G1. You nearly won the S. France battle and got 11 kills in the big Paris battle. :astonished_face: Elsewhere the Nazis pleased their Fuehrer with the battle results.

@johnnycat Just saw your post here. Your choice. We can restart with my new G1 I just posted or just keep going. If we keep going, I believe ANZAC/France are up
-
@trout @beelee I would like to officially offering you $100 per hour and a contract of set time to get this game to whatever "industrial standard" Senior Trout is referring to!
But before that I have to learn the rules and see what exactly @Trout is referring to.
Hey why do you not enjoy AA 1942? I rather think I share that with you but I am curious to why and then I would like to share with you my perspective and see what you think of that.
But basically, for me at least, I feel all the simpler AA games to be a kind of solved problem and because of that they are less interesting to play. Like the Gold Classic starts with the Axis having a 56% chance at a win and even more if tech rolls are allowed.
And that is just not much fun. hahaha.
But this game will only be fun once I match you on the understanding of the units and functions. I still don't get the paras and cannot find the rules on those that work in game.
Anyway thanks for the deep input - I will get to ANZAC next.

@beelee
OK ANZAC and FRECNHIE Turn 3 completed.Rather straightforward turn - and from now on I will explain my thinking to see what you guys think - this is, after all, not really some "fair" competition where I want to keep my strategy to myself as I outwit Field Marshal von Tasty Fish and his trusted Java coder The Busy Bee... hahaha
This is, instead, a learning experience and my ego is nowhere to be seen - but I DO want to give Trout and all future players a good run each time so I WILL try my best and put effort into it.
So ANZAC's role is quite clear : MUCK up the Japs... Bonuses for killing any Jap transports and given that it is turn 3 and ANZAC already has destroyed THREE of those Pesty Japanese Transports I would say that they are doing well.
Future buys likely will be mostly air and subs - while always making sure to protect the capital but not caring about any land invasion on the other parts of Australia for obvious reasons. I'd love to know if I can build Forts everywhere but the rules exception of New Guinea
Nest are the French : who are out of it except to help the brits defend a spot with their meager two inf in Africa who took the rail road to Burma as did the Aussies
Again I would state that future games I would not try to defend Burma like this and would prefer to stay in India. I feel those landmines are not as effective as I thought and I still don't really understand how and where to put forts and other defensive positions.
PS. I had to use the editor to move the ANZAC and Frenchie INF to Burma. I figure this is just another thing never coded in, but if the Brits can use a railroad there then, obviously their allies can too.

Ok Mister Bad Guy - show me either Operation Sea Lion or Barbarossa - OR better yet invade Iceland enroute to a stunning invasion of North America hahaha

Hi Cat
ANZC and France can use UK Rail but they count towards the UK Rail capacity which is 2.
So between the 3 Countrys, you still can only Rail 2 units per game round total.
you are correct in that you need to use edit to move Frenck or ANZC troops when they use UK Rail. You have to Player Enforce the rule of having a continous Ground Line of Communication at the start of your turn to the TTy you want to move to.
page 37 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view?pli=1
Fortifications are explained on page 32
The "Atlantic Wall" that follows has some overlap information.
Yes, one needs to be careful in Burma. JPN has a Large Air Force and if they can get sufficient ground units within range, they can easily obliterate any UK concentration there.
That is why I advised you to withdraw the bulk of your Force back to India for now.
Edit
Just to clarify, I'm not a java coder. Just a xml manipulator -

Good morning and welcome back to USA. Maybe you are glad to be back, maybe not.
Sorry. I messed up the turn summary. Highlights as you learn this magnificent game are my paratrooper drop in Caucasus and well not much else. You have two formidable stacks in Russia preventing me from doing much else and USA not yet arrived. But that changes very soon! Your Russian Guard infantry arrive for you this turn. My favorite Russian unit as it's a Panzer Grenadier except barely more cost than a plain infantry dude. Actually better than a PG because the Guards can pair with an artillery and hit at 3. Only allowed to build 9 of them though. Otherwise, Allies would never lose the Eastern Front. -
Hi Cat
Lend lease is explained on page 19 of the Captain's rulebook. Here is a shot of the triplea in game "Game Notes" that explains how triplea implements it.
Harbor's work the same as OOB. You place them 2nd place phase and are able to use them on your next turn.
-
@trout Merry Christmas my new fishy Friend...
So indeed I am mixed of feeing regarding my return to the USA since it was a few weeks early...
All of SSR's turn 4 combat move is complete and you need to tell me if and how many of the two Italian fighters wish to intercept my sub that is attacking your lone carrier.
At least I think that is how we are supposed to do that. Since there is no risk I will assume that you do send the fighters - but as I said, I want to learn how to do this correctly and, for all I know, there might be a reason to NOT attempt an intercept such as: Russian Submarines in the Mediterranean have laser-guided anti-aircraft technology that only occurs on even-numbered turns (check the 3rd Rulebook, Section 19, Paragraph 8, but not the 3rd Rule Booklet
) or maybe some other piece of rule trivia that I don't know about... -
-
@johnnycat Good morning and Merry Xmas JC! Yes, correct. Planes only work against subs if a destroyer present or an escort if defending. But only the lone carrier is there. I would have the advantage because it takes two hits to sink a carrier but that would be a major coup for the Russian sub if he did sink it. The dice are never predictable.
-
@johnnycat Also, if you got a hit on the first dice roll, it would then be an even fight because of the Sub First Strike Rule meaning that subs can attack once without the victim fighting back if no destroyer or escort is present

Can I mine the Caucuses and have your para trooper boys land on the mines and blow up?
I think very deviously, heehee
-
yea LCVs can't be hit by Naval Mines. They just sail over the top of them.
LMs defending 100 SZ from Caucasus a good move and is common in our games. The LCVs will have to cross them before they land their troops.

Your LM's were very effective and scored 3 kills
Your Soviets are not making things easy for Tojo are they. The Edit Moves at the end is because I forgot to move the Mongols and forgot about getting 7 IPC's for you breaking the peace treaty on Turn 4. By the way, in the House Rules Game which we are playing. Mongolia does not activate if you break the peace treaty unless you invade their territory. Instead the rule in the rulebook is that the normal rules apply for first two turns and then starting Turn 3, there's an IPC penalty but nothing else for breaking it. So on Turn 3, the penalty is J gets 8 dollars and Soviets lose $8. Then on Turn 4, it's 7 and 7. And so forth until it's down to no penalty at all eventually.
