[General 6 Stars]

Well we had to cancel last Saturday’s game due to my appendix rupturing. It’s been 2 weeks now and l’m doing good. Was like being in the fog.
New game will be Dec 14 Sat. We made a few changes. Just didn’t get to test Saturday.
Russia now gets to promote 1 t-34 tank to a guard tank per turn. AD7
Russian Parisian pops up on any empty German controlled territory. AD2
If 2 Parisians in same territory will Control territory.
There’s Siberian Inf on the Eastern front to and by Finland.
A few more KV-1s on Eastern front too. A6 D8.
Figs and N figs Changed
Figs C8 AD5 M5 + If roll is a 2 or less get a bonus plane kill. SBR AD3
N fig C8 AD5 M4 + If roll is a 2 or less get a bonus plane kill. SBR AD3
Carriers C12 D@4 plane only.
2 NA changes
Russia NA Guard Tank went to Guard Inf. .
Can promote 1 Inf to a guard Inf per turn A4D5.
German NA Wolf Pack now one time in game get to roll 3 d6s and that total is what Germany can spend on naval only.
That’s about it.
Will post game report and hopefully
Live stream the next game.

@SS-GEN

glad you’re ok General. That’s scary stuff having it rupture. Should give you some more time to work on the game while you heal : )

@SS-GEN said in SS GEN's 1941 Global War Game:

Personally, I like this new Sub: C7 A@5 D@2 if roll is a 1 pick target.
YES I DO TOO

subs rolling 1 cannot pick air units

[General 6 Stars]

Right IL. Subs cannot hit planes. Should of explained it better. Also subs cannot hit subs too.

[General 6 Stars]

Looked at the Sub values a bit more now. I can see going with

Subs
Now
C7 M2
A5 1.22
D2 .49 = 1.71
No pick target.

2 German Wolfs
C7 M2
A6 1.47
D2 .49 = 1.96
No pick target.
Could give these 2 above if roll is a 1 can pick target.
OR

Future Proposal.
C6 M2
A4 1.33
D2 .67 = 2.00
Roll a 1 can pick target.

2 German Wolf pack subs or more only.
C6 M2
A5 1.67
D2 .67 = 2.34
Roll a 1 can pick target.

Super Subs Tech.
+1 on AD.
C6 M2
A5 1.67
D3 1.00 = 2.67
But this would not go towards Germany using Wolf Packs on A.
A6 2.00
D3 1.00 = 3.00 Just to strong.
But the Wolf Pack subs should get to D3 if they get Tech.
A5 1.67
D3 1.00 = 2.67 keeps them in line with other countries receiving
the Super Subs tech too.
Simple way for SS tech is make it
Subs C6 A5 D3. Remove the +1 on AD so it won’t change Wolf Packs.

@SS-GEN Cool idea to use twitch for streaming games, indeed.
Maybe next time announce date and time more offensively to get some more attendance.
Maybe in the “Events” category …
:slightly_smiling_face:

[General 6 Stars]

Ya. Had no idea how it work until 30 minutes before game started. Learning the stuff yet. Will have future dates.

[General 6 Stars]

Quick game report. The Axis won on T4 or Allies could of extended it another turn to 5 but wouldn’t win anyway.
Axis had 33 points. Allies could of gotten 4 points back on T4 but next turn 5 Axis could get 1 or 2 points for 30/31 points for win
with Allies not being able to take any points back.
We only had 4 guys so there were a few mistakes made due to Allies player playing most of allies with a new guy TO THE GAME. NOT AA PLAY !!!
The new plane costs and values worked great. Guys really like that bonus plane kill every round from Dog fighting and ship AA.
So next game planned is Jan 18 and will be live streamed with audio this time.
The live stream went good for this game.

[General 6 Stars]

“Operation Lifeboat” coming soon on Jan 18 th
Live streamed.
We will be playing another game. More details soon.

Above is the video

Different camera setup for Sat game

[General 6 Stars]

OK. “Operation Lifeboat” is back on for this Sat at 8:30 am Central time.
We will be testing a stronger Lend Lease chart for Russia and have the pieces closer to Moscow
to represent the time frame travel from Persia - Iran to Caucasus between Russia’s turns imagining by
transport trucks, railroad and sea transports.

Most if not all AA games Moscow falls and I’m trying to have it where Russia can counter if Moscow doesn’t fall.
If Germany doesn’t go Moscow then it needs to hold Stalingrad ( 2 points ) and Leningrad ( 2 points ) but with LL and right moves should be a good battle of Kursk. Germany has to hold those 2 cities with Paris and Oslo. But now Russia can hopefully take back Stalingrad or Leningrad based on if Germany has enough to hold both cities. Not easy in this game.

Granted if Germany goes all out with a bit of help from Italy they probably will get Moscow but in games the Allies have Paris liberated on T3 when Germany does that. But with allies building IC’s on Europe and hopefully with UK help from Africa ( due to Italy sending to much can openers ) can keep the LL open in Iran so Russia may have a chance to hold Stalingrad like real war and even see the allies land in Norway to take Oslo and cost axis another victory point.

Its like OK Moscow worth 3 points and Germany has but Paris worth 3 points allies take back that’s a push but now Germany has to defend on to many fronts. Norway, West Germany, Berlin and any kind of Russian push from Stalingrad.
But remember You need to give Japan a chance to win game too instead of having Germany do all the work in theses games.
Make them have to hold at least 2-3 Dutch Islands for the oil and win. For 1 victory bonus point for Japan they have to control Maylay ( Rubber ), Sumatra ( oil refinery no dam. ) and Borneo ( oil refinery no dam. ). For a second bonus point control all in last sentence plus 1 more Dutch Island. So your talking mostly Java or East Indies. Not an easy task if they lose Manilla victory point.
Make Japan win the game at sea and not on land. Its OK to to get Calcutta worth 2 points or Sydney worth 3 ( or I’ve seen some games if they control all of China get 1 point. Thats OK because its resources ) but make them work for it and now you have more action in pacific and this doesn’t even include the 3 island Group NO’s. that are in the pacific that Japan and US with Anzac will be fighting over starting on T1.

Anyway I’ll confirm live streaming Sat morning.

@SS-GEN
nice overview

[General 6 Stars]

Ok. Game will start live streaming today at 8 30 am central time USA
Go to twitch tv. Type in ssgen69
U can always watch recording after today also.

[General 6 Stars]

OK Wow what a game with a 180 flip.
Germany. Was going all out for Moscow it looked like due to probably the US going to Gib first to block a 3 island Group NO so it gave them time to not have to defend Europe right away and besides the Wolf Packs were doing there job first 3 turns. US had 13 ground on Gib but with Ger and Italy counter and took it back. After seeing out come and looking at things its better for US to park closer to London. They can go either way then.

While Germany was building up and Italy and UK going nose to nose in MED & Africa the allies where building a landing assault in Europe and the Allies where looking good for a win so Germany decided to attack Moscow on turn 5 because he really had no choice with a weak defense in Europe.

SO the big battle was on. But the Russian player threw bad dyes and Germany’s stronger pieces rolled better.
Germany was able to kill 4-5 Russian figs with bonus plane kills while the Russian figs never got a bonus German plane kill. The numbers where pretty much even.
So this was a great test for the upgraded LL chart which we made stronger. At least Russia had 9 figs in battle.
That’s huge for them. This also helped them from being SBRed all the time. I believe if Russia didn’t get diced Moscow would of held. That’s what we are looking for now.
With Russia still building ( moving 1 IC from Archangal, Stalingrad IC and Tankograd IC) and collecting on following turn was able to still get 2 pieces on LL and build 2 tanks for 4 icps at Tankograd and had some decent defense for Stalingrad which I’ve never seen in any game out there yet. So now what I’m saying is even if Germany took Moscow and Russian had better dice even though they lost, Germany wouldn’t of had as many ground troops attacking Stalingrad. Russia may have held and then with only Germany being able to build 6 units in Moscow would of been some thing I’ve never seen also in games.
If Moscow doesn’t fall now Russia has a chance to hold Stalingrad or take back Leningrad if defense is to weak.

Japan Japan left there Carriers off Midway after capturing it and US attacked them on turn 1 like real war. Was told Japs were baiting US. Then US had to repair 4 battleships which were costly in repairs ( like 25 icps total ) and then went to Carolina’s and then to Dutch Islands picking 3 Island Group NO’s on the way and holding the Dutch islands blocking 2 bonus Oil victory points from Japan. But by then didn’t matter. Stalingrad fell and Axis Europe just to strong in income for allies to over come. So end of T6 Axis wins.
Its all in the live stream taped video if you want to see. I’ve also never seen an allies fleet that big in the pacific.

Italy also would of gotten Cairo ( 1 VP ) on T7. We rolled out battle to see if it was gonna happen.

And that’s that. Great game. Now no minor tweaks and we just live stream and play.
