Please use third and last US/UK-5 post. I was in a fog yesterday.

I have been in one for the past 12 months

I noticed you have been playing Truplen a good deal, how is it going?

[ArtofWar1947]

@666

As you might expect with the Axis + 12. As the Axis, he won the first game. The rematch favors the Axis. Japan has taken Australia and WUS but, as a results, is weak in the S. Pacific and just lost Malaya and Java to the UK. And China and Russia still pose a threat. However, the Allies lost both their Atlantic and Pacific fleets and have only a Med fleet left. Germany and Italy still hold Gibraltar and are focused on holding back the Russians on the Eastern front and the Brits in the Med.

I find that he is a bit unorthodox, some of his moves and buys surprise me, and despite my success against him he is strong. I think I am a bit too cookie cutter but I have a hard time breaking my playing style.

@ArtofWar1947, rule question…I’ve read that the number of aircraft that can scramble to an adjacent sz w/a surface warship or a land territory with a defending unit is equal to the number of undamaged CV’s. I thought I read somewhere or was told by someone that the max number of aircraft that can scramble is 3. Or maybe it was a dream I had?!? Which is it?

[ArtofWar1947]

@666

At the time we started our first game, the rule was 1 plane for each CV.

The revised rule that was adopted during our first game is 1 plane for each CV up to MAX of 3 from a SZ.

For the sake of equity, I assumed we are playing the rematch with the same rule we played our first game. I would be happy to adopt the new rule if you wish.

[666]

@artofwar1947 when you say adopted, you are saying that everyone is playing with the max of 3 rule now? If so I wish they revised the notes in triplea, and I wished they fixed the game so it wasn’t always asking for scramble orders when in fact many/most aren’t even allowed.

Let’s play by the new, correct, updated rule…my old brain can’t keep all this straight.

[666]

I just noticed it does say a max of three now. that’s good

The new rule of a Max of 3 from a SZ may disadvantage the Japanese more than the US, because the latter is always playing catch-up to the Japanese in terms of the number of CVs, but sure.

if that is my downfall this game versus one of my massive blunders, I will be happily surprised!
