Setup changes

YG, I liked your old avatar more 

With this new proposed setup I actually see more options for the Germans (as you aren't forced to buy navy G1) but I'm not sure this is enough to stop a G3 sealion with a 90%+ success rate.

I guess CHANGE is not alway welcome by all (nice pun considering the topic). It's more of an avatar to commemorate my upcoming match with Gargantua, during the Field Marshal Games Convention this spring in Canada (I wanted a dude smoking a cigarette to face off with him).

Are there any official changes I need to mention to my group, before our game this Saturday?

I suppose when we play Young Grasshopper, it will be with the latest setup no?

Definitely, the latest official modifications on HGD.com, at the time of the game.

That's an old Brazilian field grasshopper, with no Kung fu skills what so ever (obviously), no comparison to yours truly.

I don't see why testing takes so long. you just play germany italy uk russia and maybe usa for the first three rounds.

you can get 100 trials in one day with optimum strategy based on %s and simple math.

with the current changes UK needs a tank and an infantry, it should still typically lose but at greater losses enabling russia to trade germany territories, which is fair since germany won the seas and italy got africa, europe should be contested - axis should not be able to win in all 3.

Since we are keeping pacific as it is this is easy. Also % of games are won mostly by axis on this forum and in live games in alpha +3.

I am even inclined to say subtract an infatry from one of the italy territories.

Totally agree Cow. Most games are won by axis because of how fast they can expand, as well as how many air units they have that can do SO many differen't moves. The allies air power must all be used for defense for a long time. Eventually I think the allies would win almost every game, if it were about total world conquest, but this game is based on the VC win. This means allies don't stand much of a chance, in my oppinion. Honestly it reminds me of an 8 VC game in Revised.
