@lebowsky said in Simon33 (Axis) vs Lebowsky (Allies+16):

I want to ask, why do people leave paris undefended and normandy not taken? I assume is because you dont want to create vichy

I can only answer why I do it.

(1) Why leave Paris empty?
Allies don’t gain much from taking it unless they can hold it. It expends the once per game 12ipc of French troops, if they are killed straight away, seems a waste. Every originally French territory reverts to French control. And if you’re playing G40, allows a second plunder of Paris.

(2) Why leave Normandy French?
I actually stopped playing for a while in large part because I think this move is cheesy, ridiculous and unsporting but no one was as annoyed by it as I was. I actually saw it in my first G40 game where I played Axis but I thought later that I must be getting it wrong. I think now that I wasn’t wrong and while it may not be a complete game breaker it is still a game damager. I developed “Parisian Rebalance” in response to this but few where really interested. I am interested in a 2.0 of same.

You haven’t been reading my posts in League General Discussion if you are asking these questions!

thanks for the reminder of the national objective. Probably some mistakes for Japan as this theater is so different than G40. Good learning experience!

I can’t quite make out the board. Would you take 2 pictures, each one half of the board, so I can get a better view?

Did your group okay getting outside advice for an active game? If not, then I cannot help you as that would be unethical.

Welcome back @Argothair

This is pretty exciting.
According to the archives, you’ve done 10 league games, in 2019.

I don’t know how you’ve re-oriented yet, but a year ago we revamped the ranking system and everyone has lifetime league records and an ELO. A link is in the league rules

Enjoy, and I hope you get to play some new and old friends 🥂👏🍾

Guys, welcome Argothair back, OK?
