EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@trout I totally get it. And that was my point. I wanted to find some way to easy kill them.
That’s the fascinating thing about this game; whether they make sense or not we need to know the rules. I’m still laughing at the UK magic carrier production so “go get em boys the pilots were told…”.
In fact, and I’m sure you’re aware of this, there are all sorts of ways to basically use kamakasi air planes by just knowing the rules
And I recall something about transports gets taken last but I’m assuming that the player can override all that with their own order of loss.
With each time I Play this game I can see how to better run the japs and even Anzac. Italy is still a riddle tho.
-
@johnnycat You will get better each game and even each turn. I can see that already in playing you. No - transports always get taken last. You'll need to enforce that yourself as Triple A won't do it automatically. That's not an issue here as I have no transports in the SZ with my carriers
-
@trout wait What?!???
Transports are taken last ALWAYS?
That has huge strategy implications. So a BB and a transport get hit by 2 fighters the second hit MUST BE the transport?.
-
@johnnycat No - in your scenario. Battleship gets sunk with the two hits. Transports take hits last always. Yes, that does effect naval strategy

Can your Russia attack my Germans with Italians inside the territory? There is some weird situation here I don't know what to do with - because it seems like Russia and Italy are not at war.
Is there some down side to either of us declaring war with Italy/Russia?
-
@johnnycat No downside for either of us declaring war since G and R already trading punches
-
@johnnycat I was only attacking Nazis on my R turn- that’s the only reason I didn’t declare on Italy. They have such lovely women and yummy food so no reason for me to declare unless I have to
-
@trout You MONSTER...
Ok well I got some warning that said Russia gets 10 bucks and USA and UK can give them gifts if Italy attacks... So I was wanting to be all sneaky and slip my Italians in with the Scum Bag Nazi Bad Guys and somehow keep you from getting all that look and goodies...
-
@johnnycat Yes I know about that. You can ignore it. You do have to declare war if you want to get in the fight but no free IPC’s. When I declared war on G that nullified the 10 IPC bonus

By rule, you have the rest of Turn 6 to counterattack and kick me out of Berlin so we can continue with that if you like. Doesn't look likely unless the dice go more than crazy in your favor. Also Soviets sitting at 150 for income now so would be very hard for Axis to overcome that even if you pull out a 1% chance of victory with the Berlin counter-attack.
So we are even now! You bamboozled me once and I suppose this counts as one also. Whenever that happens to me, it stings alot but I store it away in the memory banks so it doesn't happen again. Your call Senor J Cat. Continue on, start a new one, or take some time away to meditate.
-
@trout wait what? Your 6 guys in Poland took Berlin?
If I thought that was even possible I would have put the 4 mines along that border and sent 3 fighters there.
Is this another case of super powers I do not know of?
I even mentioned this to you in my note last night.
So look I am not into winning and loosing through little tricks - and if my Operation Sea Lion was successful without being spoiled by another trick I could not has known, I would have banned it from future play and that is what I have done with the other guys I play.
I want to put time and thought into this game and get to turn 15 - 20 and learn all I can. So please explain these super powers and I will redo the turn. I'm actually surprised that you would not first tell me of the weakness. Like I said I saw the move but figured there was no way your 5 guys could take out 16
-
@johnnycat Absolutely - no issues with your suggestions so yes please redo your G6. So I had six guys plus an entire Army Group (page 47 of the rulebook explains them). That Army Group contained one Tank Army/one Commissar Army/nine dudes/1 arty. So that was in addition to the six dudes. So all of that plus my TacB and a few other tanks/commissars constituted the wipeout. Yes, if you redo G6 and put together a really good defense, that should hold against the Army Group in Poland.
-
@johnnycat Operation Sea Lion can be successful within the rules. I have one game against Panzer and one game against Beelee which you can look at where I won doing that. Just need to ensure that you have fighters in W. Germany that can scramble plus some 2/3 surface ships at least. UK only has a few air units and if they do a Taranto Raid, then they only have very few for Home Defense.
Do what you want with your friends but I think without those rules, it creates some imbalance where the Axis can too easily do a Sea Lion. For example, you could come really close to having a situation where UK cannot possibly do a Taranto Raid and prevent OSL at the same time.
-
@trout Thanks - sounds like just cleaning up the non-com moves of G 6 should keep this thing going and interesting, thanks.
Oh and I looked into it again and still got a 8.5% chance at victory for Russia. I guess I just concluded that with such low odds you would not try - but then why not try right? I will be sure to keep that in mind in future situations.
I armed the 4 mines on the Berin/poland border and flew in the 3 fighters.
Thanks
PS. what is the Taranto Raid? is that the UK wiping out the Italy fleet?
