EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@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
-
yea NavalMines are a bit of a PITA to place because you have to remove both it and the Escort/Trprt to remove the ones you buy and then add the "Changer" ones and your Escort back in.
Also there is a weird dynamic if you forget to do it at 2nd place and a regular Trprt is present, it won't let you remove them.
Just add the Changer ones and ignore the others.
There are very few border specific NMs. You need to document in Comment Log where they are defending.
-
@johnnycat 3rd Corps was in Belarus. Your two paras killed one Russian Guard. They both got boosted to 3 on defense. So just as I teach my little kids with their arithmetic homework. 2 x 3 = 6 / 6 =1. So your paras rolled average spot on for dice and got one kill.
-
@johnnycat Yep all good. Johnny be good this turn - haha!
-
@trout Hahaha. My fiancé was joking about the "Dear John letter" slang last month while we were in Taiwan...
Now we are broke up and the grief is horrible
But yea, names...
Speaking of which, are we prevented from using our real first names on this thing? Does it matter? I still am not accustomed to my name is "Emperor Royal Rommel The Gladiator Space Queen Murderer" and such stuff... I'm very conservative I guess.
OH I got on here for a reason, hahaha, and that was merely to state: I am trying my best to give you a good game "Sir Tasty Fish" (though I think I know your first name) despite my knowing NOTHING about these games coming into this. I had never even known that G40 was a real boardgame let alone actually played it!
The only thing I knew was @beelee and theDog were kind to me last year when I started playing that other game that TheDog made.
Other than my basic skills in math, I did earn a Masters in Applied Mathematics after all, I have no skill or experience in this game and approach each turn like I would a chess game.
And it has proven EXTREMELY difficult for me to track down actual games online.

@trout Those Russian units MOVE 2. that is amazing. And they were not taking methamphetimine
