11. Now it is the Allied turn. The same procedure is followed as before. The defending CAP fighter shoots at the incoming planes, and they get to fire back.

12. The Japanese CAP fighter misses, but the Allied planes shoot it down.

13. Both planes select the same carrier group to go after. The ships miss their AA fire, so the planes are free to attack.

14. Both planes score a hit on the carrier and it is sunk. Planes must now return home.

15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups. At this point, the Japanese player decides if they wish to retreat, and they choose to continue the battle instead. The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

This game pits you vs 7 other real anonymous players in a variety of 4X galaxies.

Production gets you ships and technology more or less in real time. 
The income arrives every 24th hour of the game, giving you a turn-based feel.

Game leader board category graphs are also logged on various hourly intervals for that turn-based sense of competitive progress.

The how to’s highly recommend at least a few diplomatic alliances to assist on trading technology research gains.  Up to you whether you honor chat agreements, or stab someone who helped you tech up.

All it takes is a yahoo or google account for login and

Playing a game on this site would need about 3 logins a day , and a game could take 2-3 wks of daily play to resolve.  Cannot login for a few days?  Well, the new ver provides an autopilot empire manager that triggers when you have not entered any commands in over a day.  My brother says the AI for it is v weak, operates only production w no ship movements, and you may only find the neighbors have taken out peripheral chunks or more of your galaxy by the time you log back in.

2 ongoing games are allowed per account. 
You can quit a game in the middle too.  This allows you to join a new galaxy waiting for the full roster of 8 players before starting.

A&A takes about 1 day to finish
this one can take 11-30+

My wife and I took 3 days to drive back from my brothers apartment , and I had many visions of that game during the trip. 
Then I realized that the fleet movements that look like your flight progress views from some of the airline flights very much mimic Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon (visible train movements on the tracks), which was also highly addictive.

I am married.  I plan on staying that way. 
My brother is still single.
I will refrain from this one.

@bbrett3:

Some people said it was just like Fallout, but with more customization, is that true?

I don’t really know.  I think Fallout 3 is more in depth, but I never played it, just assuming so from Bethesda.  Borderlands focuses on action, multiplayer, quests, and getting more and more loot. It’s really simple and the character customization is basic - 3 trees with 7 skills each (1 master) that is unlocked as you put more points in the tree.  The weapons are never the same except for the unique ones bosses always carry.  It looks nice and is well done, but plays really well.  You can kill quite a few hours on it the first time through, but once you know what to do I think you can run through it and even skip side quests.

Good list, Yanny.  I have had the pleasure of playing/beating most of those games.

I know Oregon Trail was popular as hell, but I didn’t think anyone played OT2.  I loved OD’ing grandma on the laudanum.  :lol:
