@trout
THREE sons!!! Wow. I have a nephew and well never got to the breeding option in my Game of Life Thrones or whatever it is called.OK to make things easy I just redid the turn. Those darn Greeks got me again tho... Surely because of the Spartan blood. Fun Fact: My Spartan Grandfather came here to the US in 1915
Here is a cleaner version.trout-cat-game-3-GERMANY 2.tsvg

Something you may find helpful, is looking at the TimeTable before you purchase, so you can see what Units are going to be available the next turn, as some of them will require Units already in Berlin in order to place them.

Emperor of the Rising Sun is up next -
@beelee GREAT suggestion. Thank you. I now play with three pages open to the various rules, and will constult that thing every turn ; chess is nothing compared to this...
-
heh heh I still keep two open at all times. One for table of contents and one to scroll lol
Edit
and all the new ones bookmarked. Probably easier just to go to The Captain's page for those. -
QUESTION (again I try to answer first by reading the rules so I ask only after searching)
- Can we build large or small factories on those Money Islands?
So I was thinking about building a massive urban metropolis with gambling and legal red light districts and fortune tellers...and water slides. lots and lots of water slides on BORNEO
- Can I put airbases and harbors anywhere?
Thx
-
Yea No Fctry builds on Islands in G 40.
Yes to Harbors and ABs. Obviously no Harbors in Central Asia
New ABs can be upgraded to scramble 4 as well.
Probably best to shy away from the red lights in Indonesia anyway. Idk. They might get a bit touchy about that.
Edit
No worries. I know it's hard trying to track all this stuff down. I have had the same problem myself many times. -
@trout oKdoki The emperor has sent some wonderful new Geisha Girls to the Philippines.
So do you send out your 2 fighter planes to greet these elegant ladies?
By the way: @beelee and @trout what do you think of us preparing a sort of obvious scramble decisions as defaults and no need to ask? Or do you do that already?
I could see the opening German attack being a no brainer as well as things like this Philippines gig. Like why would you EVER send out two fighters to attack 2 BB, a cruiser and other stuff? Or is there some tricky thing I do not know?
Anyway gotta get your order Sir?
-
yea usually when it's obvious one will just roll the battle and if for some reason that wasn't the decision, you reroll the battle by hand.
Usually G1 battle that may need orders is 111 but if 110 goes light it may as well. The destruction of German Air early game can have a signifigant impact, as that is one of Germany's best assets.
Usually one doesn't want to give UK the option to do it, although sometimes 111 will happen. Other strats don't attack 111 1st rd so there is some variance, which makes it fun of course
All of that is a long winded way of saying, if it seems obvious, roll on through and redo with dice roller if it wasn't what your opponent wanted to do
-
@beelee OK cool. So in my case what is the "obvious?" I would assume no scramble but I dunno.
-
yea most likely he won't but I would wait and ask as he could scramble 1 Ftr just to negate the Bombard.
He'll probably lose anyway but when in doubt I'd just ask and wait.
If you're familiar having played multiple games with your opponent it becomes easier to decide
-
@johnnycat No scramble- you guys were correct. Filipinos prefer that Congee to scrambled eggs. I love 99% of foreign food but congee and Japanese natto - no go forever for this dude
-
Good Morning Mates; quick QUESTION.
I took some island and have to choose who paid the ULTIMATE PRICE
Choice between artillery and inf sucker
If I choose to keep the infantry and can make one of those fortifications that mean my inf defends like a tank...
But the artillery is more pricey in value so the QUESTION IS: can the art Las make one of those FORTS?
I'll keep doing my turn and I will get rid of the inf - but please let me change to saving the ART if artillery can also make those forts.
QUESTION 2:
I need to know if the planes on carriers next to zone 6 can scramble to intercept the Americans that will surely drive over to zone 6 to try and take that zone. Does this make sense?
In the photo : Can the planes in zone 19 intercept any shenanigans taking place in zone 6?
"Shenanigans" refers to secret, dishonest, or tricky activities, as well as high-spirited mischief, playful pranks, or silliness. Originating in the mid-19th century, this informal term often describes behavior that is inconvenient, sneaky, or questionable rather than truly dangerous
-
No only regular Inf can make Forts. Elites can't or any other Unit.
I usually keep the Inf for that reason. Obviously it depends on the situation but generally that's what I do.
Edit
No the Ftrs in 19 would only defend in 19 SZ -
@beelee ok but that makes so sense from a logical point of view.
Just look at the UK for supporting evidence: according to what I have read any attack in zone 109 for example, can be intercepted with TWO groups of 3 fighter planes (London and Scotland) because the rules say "adjacent zones"
So I just want to be sure about this cause it's hugely important
So is there a paragraph that makes this interceptor stuff super clear? I guess I am a stickler for details in this case so I found the actual rules to be a little vague. Anyway thanks I will change the art to fort..
-
yes both bases can scramble to 109. As long as they have Planes of course.
That is an OOB rule so that's where you'd look for it's explanation.
Remember, Any AB can be upgraded so it can scramble 4. That is a HRE rule.
-
This is truly an amazing game. The basic Axis and Allies games are somewhat boring and feel like checkers whereas this igame feels like GO or 3D Chess. I LOVE IT
As far as game notes go: So far this seems like SOP. I would not be surprised if Japan taking the Philippines and some Money Islands is SOP like Germany taking France turn 1.
-
Yes once JPN and USA are at War, JPN will usually want to take out the PHIs as soon as possible. Singapore should go next.
At least that's how I rate them. There are other strategies one could use where that might not be the case though
