Yea, I agree w/the new convoy rules. Not sure if I like Alpha 2 or Alpha 3 better yet, as I haven’t played Alpha 3. But, I do know that w/out bidding that Alpha 2 was broken. In my opinion favored toward the Allies. Not sure why they didn’t just give the Axis a few more units or the Allies a few less and just stick w/Alpha 2. I think giving the Axis 6 to 8 more IPC’s would balance the game.
Alpha 3.9 needs slight adjustment

well I thought 2 inf in italy would be nice considering US is now a turn ahead of italy and since italy starts out 10 ipc a turn… figure 6 ipc is a nice compensation to help defend italy.
It’s nothing major but it does give a little leeway in terms of what italy does for the game.
~We could just keep it as is and bid for axis in tournament games in the future.

There’s no way 2 inf. make ANY difference in the game.

Ok… Let’s not have a cow over it.

:lol:I see what you did there … :wink:
As for the 2 infantry not making a difference … how is it people think a 6-12 ipc bid makes a difference, yet 2 infantry (6 ipc’s) doesn’t? I’m confused on that one. (for the record, I don’t think for a moment that 2, or even 6 infantry for that matter will make any real difference).

When Japan grabs the money islands, malaya, hong kong, FIC and the philippines its income nearly doubles, with a little push in China - Japan can outporoduce the US. Japan only starts hurting when Japan plans poorly and doesn’t make a massive land grab on its first turn of war with the allies.

To be honest, I’m not sold on the idea that Japan can do all that plus hurt China. That doubled income may not last very long.

When do you attack and get all that much so fast?
-
Go ahead and house rule it.
-
That’s very true Young Grasshopper.
But as I said, house rule whatever the hell you want.

yeah that is the movie… didn’t know it was up on the youtoobs.
Meh I guess we can’t strike round 1 with japan, sad times, screws atlantic over if allies go full atlantic and move all the naval away from pacific. I am just surprised at the lack of income japan gets.

Depends on the Chinese player, mainly moving their stacks from air attack range.
However, if the Japanese player is consistent in striking Yunnan, denying China materials, it can be done. Trust me.
The real problem comes if Britain decides to do a can opener with tanks and mechanized infantry.
