@fmerwinrommel don’t forget Arabia .

@generalhandgrenade thanks GHG, as always!

Very interesting perspective. While I totally agree with your points, I was assuming you were going to talk about a lot of tangible in-game situations. Yes, of course there’s an exchange of resources that obviously doesn’t do the Allies any favors, and some movements will be made easier for the Axis and Comintern. But besides that, I was struggling to think of anything HUGE.

But you’re talking about intangibles, which is a very very good point! It’s such a large part of the game. Another thing that makes every game unique, isn’t it? I know with us, a play group that typically consists of my twin brother and dad, we most definitely hold grudges for backstabbing or alliances formed against one another. I think it most definitely comes into play!

Thanks for the input.

Hey all!

Was just thinking recently it might be cool to have a thread going of Battle Reports/After Action Reports of peoples games. I thought something like that being pinned might be cool so we could all see the progress of people’s games? Might be herculean though, as I imagine it would require a whole sub-thread so as to keep one persons report and potential updates separate from the others.

Anyone think that would be worth having here? I know I used to look at different blogs or posts here of peoples A&A games with the reports and pictures of everyone’s turn by turn games with descriptions. I found them to be a lot of fun!

If no traction, maybe not worth it. But if enough people thought it would be good, I’d be happy to ask djensen on the possibility of having that set up!

@chris_henry It’s detrimental for a couple of reasons.
First of all there are tangible benefits for 2 of the 3 factions and you’re not 1 of them.
The other is that both of those factions are starting to cooperate which could lead to more cooperation. As long as they perceive their relationship to be beneficial they (especially Germany) can concentrate more resources on your demise.
Russia can’t win the game by themselves. It’s not in your best interests to have them turn to Germany instead of you for help. Remember, this game isn’t played solely on the board. The more players work against each other the more resentment and tension that’s created between them. At some point you cross the line and instead of winning your main goal becomes making sure that jerk doesn’t win because he screwed you. This pact does absolutely nothing for the Allies except make the hill they need to climb steeper.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast thanks. Sorry, not trying to be rude at all, but that doesn’t really answer my question for GHG. I was merely asking in his opinion what was really detrimental to the Allies. I didn’t even say I disagreed with him haha.

I don’t know if a point system like that is a good example for this scenario though either! Maybe that’s just mine opinion though. I personally wouldn’t put the signing of the Pact something that doubles “points” from the Allies. It’s a largely small part of the much larger conflict. While yeah, I suppose there really isn’t an upside for the Allies if it’s signed, I wouldn’t call it detrimental to them either.

@max334

@elrood I see you did not take Belgrade - much to my surprise. Oh well - it won’t be long now.

Also that you have can-opened for the Turkish fleet - my casual play is letting FM down.

@elrood Are you enjoying yourself?
