Thermopylae Online. 2 Player Variant

@all-encompassing-goose

Please answer my question.

@All-Encompassing-Goose

Oh, I get it now!

So the AI just confused. Makes sense.

@CWO:

1. Atomic bombs (Loaded on bombers)
3. Fission Bomb

In what way is an atomic bomb different from a fission bomb in your rules?  The two terms mean the same thing.

Here:

@empireman:

SuperPowers
2-8 players

Fission Bomb - roll 4 dice. The sum total of the rolls is the damage inflicted.

Atomic is 1 less

@Uncrustable:

@empireman:

Ok a few changes:

East USA value to 10
Forgot to type Hawaii on the -2 INf and +1 Transport

Anything else?

W. and C. us are 10 right? then it equal.

Silly to change E US by 50% and leave C US and W US the same

yea no problem.

Enjoy them.

I got a say, though I have never played anything other than AArevised, and earlier addtions, (including expansions), people always did buy all tanks. But when tanks defended on a 2, and cost 3, buying all infantry swamped the tanks. I never bought all men with the guys I used to play regualary with, but just enough not to give it away. I was amazed they never realized the advantage of buying all men versus tanks. I always bought just enough men to not make it obvious. I have been playing for over 25 years. When they made tanks defend at a 3 on revised it became a close battle, but with the addition of artillery, again unless  you had to travel far and fast, infantry and artillery is far superior in strength. It always has been, so I curious what game was it advantageous to do all tanks.

In World at WAr (Expansion), since you can improve factories to produce 2 tanks per turn at a $1 reduce price, those became the only tanks I would ever buy.

Looking at some of the maps like AA40, being so big in terms of spaces it might make sense. But tanks costing now $6, the need for speed really must overcome the advantage of fire power. If I have $42, I would much rather have 6 men and 6 artillery versus 7 tanks. Its a no brainer.

1483 Online is still in beta testing, but it has come a long way since it was first launched. Right now only the 28 player, Europe 1483, is available, but our programmer (who is a college student) is now on summer break and working with us full time and we’re cranking out advancements very quickly and hope to have the 95 player full world out within a month, killing all known bugs in the same process.

If you have any questions feel free to post them in our forums, or on here. Either is fine.
