EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@johnnycat Hi there. Your Berlin defense looks sufficient now. But still need a couple of more classes before getting your degree bestowed. I see 10 evil SS guys but G can only build six max for them. You had six at beginning of the turn, so can't build any more until some of them die. I only glanced at this but that's the only issue I see. At some point, you may want to learn how to form a Waffen Army or Panzer Army. Those things are powerful and G gets to build lots of them.
-
@trout ok that is weird as the game tells me I can build 10 - I mean the actually buying info by hovering over the units in the purchase menu.
I believe you but please tell me where to find this information. So I can better memorize it.
I’ll want to reallocate the 4 I paid for them to be something else but I’m driving.

Here is what I see regarding max number of Waffle House Fanatics.
And I just found on page 15 of the Captain's Rules it says max of 6.
How do you keep track of all this stuff when it is not consistent?
I am uploading a new map with just the 4 Waffle House guys replaced with if and using the 4 IPU spent on something else.
Thanks for catching this

Trout-cat-game-3-GERMANY_6_FEB_10 FIXED WAFFLES.tsvg
I changed 4 Waffle House nuts to regular inf and added the 4 bucks as one of those Panzer Grenadier things that defends with 3

Good Afternoon
Yea sadly triplea isn't able to enforce the max build correctly for the Waffen Inf. Waffen Panzergrenadiers either. The reason being is that those units upgrade into other units and their upgrades are placed first place phase.
so the "Waffen Oberst" replaces a "Waffen Inf" that was present in Berlin at the start of Germany's turn. You can have up to 4 Oberst.
By rule, any Waffen Inf after being upgraded no longer counts as part of the maximum of 6. So if you have a wehrmacht Inf present in Berlin it can be upgraded at the same time the Waffen Inf is upgraded.
The only way for triplea to allow that is by adding the max number of Oberst to the max total of waffen Inf.
This is one of the more difficult things to keep track of and all players should help check for rule compliance. It is easy to miscount, especially later in the game when large number of units are all over the board.
Panzergrenadiers are also hard to track. 6 regular Army but 4 can be upgraded to Waffen SS status, so same situation.
I tried to code in a way to track them and have a notification popup saying you over purchased and not allowing placement .
However that was unsuccessful as the upgrade units only place in Berlin.
Anyway, it is something one has to keep an eye on same as you would on the physical board.
I think it is explained in Game Notes. Haven't looked in a while.
I will add a extended explanation in next update.
-
@beelee OK Thank you for that update. I will add to the basic strategy guide that I am building another parallel guide that is a DETAILS OF PLAY type of TripleA guide that also works for playing on the game board. Like a list of things to keep watch for and "player enforce" as you say
-
Yes the Game Notes mention some at the start of Notes and then are explained in more detail in their individual "Note" explanation.
It's an ongoing process but yea rules that you think need hilighted are good to point out. Victory and Panzer have mentioned things that they thought important.
I just spent 4 hours last night updating how LMs work and am still only half done lol
-
@johnnycat Okay. Looks like you fixed it. Yeah, only way to keep up with it is to know the rules. The 10 max is because that is the max for placing on a major complex. Unless you upgrade to 12 and the rulebook explains that. Anyway, looks like you did it right and yes, Berlin is very well defended while you still have quite the menacing push into Middle East and even added some navy to the Med :astonished_face: So looks like a well revised turn. Will work on getting R6 out today.

@trout
So given that I got to this turn and am laying NAVAL MINES and your guys cannot stop me for at least a few turns, I will accept your surrender now with dignity and involuntary servitude... -
@trout OK ok I was kidding... And I said "servitude" only because that word sounded cool. turns out it means slavery or something stupid lol
But seriously these Naval Mines are incredible. One third of every surface ship GOES DOWN and they keep hitting until you run out of ships or the mine goes off.
Anyway this seems to be incredibly powerful so I am spreading them around Caroline Is in. light way mostly to just see them work.

I'll post my turn shortly.
-
Japan turn is complete but please apply 3 Naval Mines are on the border of sea zones 33 and 48
I do not know how to make that happen and they still appear to be on their little escorts - but they are supposed to be armed in the water.
-
I want to be sure where are these guys so:
1st corps is 2 tanks, commi and inf in Caucacus
5 tanks and tank general and 3 tanks and commi are in East Poland
Where is the 3rd corps Commi guy? Is he real?
Thanks
-
@johnnycat Got it. You sir continue to amaze me with how your strategies are very advanced for somebody so new to a very complicated game. The only issue I see with your turn is that you cannot build more fortifications than you have dudes. So with six dudes on Carolines, you cannot build more than six fortifications. You can either revise your turn or if you prefer I can just do Edit Mode to take away two fortifications and increase your bank account by two Japanese yen. For the Naval Mines, yes I think you got them right.
-
@trout oh that was a typo... I knew that limit.
And I cannot put a fort in New Guinea right?
Give me a sec please and I will correct
-
@johnnycat 3rd Corps is in Nenetsia. I attacked your paratroopers there and didn't bother to put them back in their boxes. But the three tanks and Commi in Nenetsia are 3rd Corps
-
@johnnycat Correct. No fortifications allowed in New Guinea and Dutch New Guinea. I seem to remember that you cannot build them in New Zealand also but that rarely happens since it's so far away from the banzai guys.
-
@trout ok here it is
I removed the two forts
and put one where I intended but forgot on the island MarianasI credited 1 PU to Japan for the extra one that I destroyed
All good?
-
@trout This is so confusing. Were did this Third Corps come from?
I did not recall any such markers.
-
@trout Did the paratroopers kill anyone? I thought they had some super bonus
