@Gamerman01:

Rolling for tech!  Good man.

Tell you what, I’ll waste 5 for the Russians to help even things up…  :-D

I unchecked LHTR heavy bombers in options; IIRC that was 1d+2 when bombing, which I think is default.  Is that what we wanted?

[gamerman01]

No, 1d6+2 is the rule for G40

LHTR is best of 2 dice rather than total of 2 dice (2 hits possible per heavy)

LHTR should be checked so that we don’t have 2-hit heavies, because best of 2 dice is the rule for G40

Clear?

[gamerman01]

How wicked would it be if Germany got paratroopers on G1?  London would have no chance of survival.

@Gamerman01:

No, 1d6+2 is the rule for G40

OK, I’ll change that back.

I had something like that happen in tourney vs Darth.  He rolled LRA round one for Germany, I think the game was over on the first turn.

Well, you’re a man after my own heart to buy tech on G1  :-)

    Round :1

        Politics - Russians
            Russians takes Political Action: Political Action Russians To War With Japanese
 Combat Move - Russians
            1 infantry moved from Amur to Korea

OK, you’re the third guy I have seen do this move now…why?  If it is a deep secret that you want to spring on my, I’m fine with talking about it later, but I can see no gain here at all.  I only see the Soviet’s giving up all their positional and treaty advantage.

Mongolia is more of an advantage to Japan than Russia.

Obviously, the reason for the attack is to keep Mongolia out of play.  Japan not being able to cross between North Russia and China is significant.  Larry made the STUPID Mongolia rule apparently to deter a Japanese attack, but it actually has the opposite effect.

So you’re saying that by giving Mongolia to Russia if Japan attacks, Japan can actually take it “cheap”, because it is no longer a true neutral.
