  • Forgot to attack the French DD. I hope that doesn’t bite me. I guess it’s probably fortunate, because I would’ve lost air attacking the Chinese infantry if I didn’t hit them with every piece that could reach…

    I guess we’re going to find out!

    @Fortress:

    I guess we’re going to find out!

    Take comfort from the fact that you couldn’t attack the French DD anyway without declaring war on the Western Allies, which I am sure you don’t want to do.

    Speaking of which, I now tear open the envelope and unfold the paper to read my earlier prediction: There will be no DoW J3.


  • Hahahaha! Actually, DOW on France is independent. The choices are USSR, UK and Anzac, USA, France. And the only one that affects any other one is that a DOW on UK and Anzac gets the USA in the war.

    Hirohito decided that his life would be easier if Germany wasn’t dead by turn 6.  :lol: He was promised all of Asia by Hitler. Hitler’s probably good on his word, right?

    You’re right, of course… I just got done re-reading the rulebook.  I find it bizarre that such a situation is allowed, but there it is.

    It’s also funny that Japan can DoW the French and sink their ships, but as long as they keep units out of FIC they still get their bonus money.  So technically the Japanese could even somehow conquer Paris itself and still not forfeit the dough… Larry can be a wacky guy sometimes.

    Regarding bugs in TripleA, the only real problem I’ve had is that I can run into trouble switching around from viewing the game history back to the current game.  And a few times playing against the AI, it seems to get stuck.  Nothing too serious though.

    I was going to try the forward deployment in SZ102 just because I can, but realized that would open Germany up to too many annoying moves with that fleet sitting in Gibraltar.  Nothing that would turn the tide of the game, but troubling enough that I don’t want to have to deal with it.

  • I’m afraid I’m not helping your project all that much; I’ve been playing like a jackass  :lol:

    I did the same thing, before the league started. I played about 6 games as the Allies with no bid, to try to gauge how much I really needed the bid. As a result, I’ve taken bids as low as +7 because I now feel, with no bid, I can hold my own against somebody playing pretty well and can beat somebody making a costly mistake or two.

    When this is over, we’ll have to discuss our perceived boo-boos.  I’ll confess I don’t see any motivation for the Malta attack unless you are trying to block the British NO out of spite.  Speaking of which, I hope Il Duce is enjoying being at the zenith of his power; I don’t expect Italy to collect any more NOs in the next turn or two (I can’t swear that I can keep them out of the Caucasus).


  • Yeah, that was exactly what I was trying to do. Lighten the pockets by 5 IPC.

    I don’t think I’m ever not going to J1 DOW again. To quote Taylor Swift, “like… ever…”

    Skip that, I just found a motive.

    Yep.  While I haven’t seen Cow’s J1 attack work out in practice, it seems like you should try it or at least J2 at the latest.  Otherwise you’re just watching Japan’s military advantage decrease turn by turn with no real benefit.  We’ll see how this goes, but the fact that I can block you from a direct attack on Calcutta on J4 means you won’t be as certain of victory there on J5 as you would have been with an earlier DoW that has you in position to attack J3.

    I think the dilemma for the Axis players is a good dynamic for this game- Germany is best served by keeping the USA neutral for as long as possible, but that hurts Japan.  I think this is solvable by having Germany plan on a G2 Sea Lion coupled with a J2 DoW.  Both situations will require a maximal response from the USA that it will be unable to give, greatly increasing the Axis chances of victory and (possibly) making the game unwinnable for the Allies.  However as this is only my 2nd game of any form of Global '40 ever with a real person, my opinions are worth the paper they are printed on.

    Speaking of paper, I am now writing down another prediction that I will seal away for a later time.


  • I ran the J1 in another game for the first time (I’m normally a J3 crush guy - but I got burned with it against allweneedislove), and was in a huge advantageous position. I like that it forces me to get south.


  • I’d like to play another with you, same setup, when we get done here. I’ve seen quite few J1’s in the league, and it would be more representative of a quality play.

    Sure, I’m always up for either end of a sound thrashing.

    Now to get through the French and ANZAC turns, which require maybe 5 minutes tops.
