PtV Art of War v 666 (axis +15) Game 2


  • @artofwar1947 said in PtV Art of War v 666 (axis +15) Game 2:

    @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?


  • @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.


  • @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.


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

  • @666

    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.

    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!

    Scramble fighters to defend against US tran + 5 fighters attacking from SZ 50?

    Scramble fighters to defend Solomon Islands?

    This attempt on the Solomon Islands would not have been chancy, if not impractical, under the old rules, where the Japanese could defended either zone with 5 fighters.

    You should not be so hard on yourself. I made the mother of all blunders against Trulpen. The Japanese took the seventh VC and just needed to hold for 1 turn. The Allies had no chance of taking a VC if defended effectively. Blocked 3 sea zones around Hawaii, but overlooked a marine in Central America, which had unblocked access to Hawaii. The blunder turned certain victory into certain defeat. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Makes one wonder if one should find a less stressful past time.

    I thought I couldn’t scramble fighters to SZ50 because jpn lacked a surface warship there? But even if I can scramble, to either.

    Yeah, thanks, blunders happen, and against the excellent players here they can amount to an instant L. I like to drink and then play and that always seems to hurt me. Adam told me he doesn’t really drink, a definite advantage against me for sure!

    well that is good because I am usually wrong when it comes to the rules and I agree, it seems odd that they cannot.
