League House Rule Playtest - Soulblighter (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

[Shin-Ji]

I think you’re probably right, but none of that is in the rules document.

I agree we should get Gamerman to clarify.

[Shin-Ji]

While we’re at it, we should get the starting cash for each country in the document too.

[Soulblighter]

@Shin:

While we’re at it, we should get the starting cash for each country in the document too.

Yeah. I kinda dislike not having it in the document either. Would make it less confusing as well. If the doc had the starting ipcs for each country, then we wouldn’t have had this discussion in the first place :P.

[Shin-Ji]

Well, it’s all good.  We’re here to shake out the bugs after all.

[Soulblighter]

Speaking of which. Europe UK should be the same as Pacific UK. Regarding Canada. I mean. If mainland Britain would fall, then Canada would keep on fighting. Not sure how this would work out in the game tho.

[Shin-Ji]

Here’s a corrected initial setup.

And here’s the Japan 1 finished turn with the corrected PUs and whatnot.

ANd in the words of Hawkeye -

Well normally a fighter + destroyer should tackle another destroyer… just every 100 battles or so the opposite happens. Also I dislike playing with allies, even if I win more with them.
