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

[Shin-Ji]

I’m inclined to agree.  This was a clear Axis win.

Switch then?  Go ahead and set it up and PM me the thread so I can give you my scramble orders.

No a restart with me as allies again. I made some horrible mistakes with the allies. So I would rather try again before switching. Also this was hardly ever a true game to begin with (given the things that went wrong and all that).

[Shin-Ji]

Sure, restart is fine.

Honestly, I didn’t see that many big mistakes on your part, just amazing dice on mine.

[Shin-Ji]

Scrambles?

[Soulblighter]

@Shin:

Scrambles?

No. Are there players who would scramble in this situation?

[Shin-Ji]

Yes, absolutely there are players who scramble for that move.  Pretty much everyone I’ve fought at the higher end of Tier 3 and above does that.  It can go badly for the Allies but for the most part it decimates the German airforce.

But that all depends on what you’re planning to do with Britain afterwards.

[Soulblighter]

Just noticed we aren’t using the correct setup :lol:

[Shin-Ji]

We’re not?  But I used my saved game from before!  Oh, this is some BULL shit.

[Shin-Ji]

Ah well, at least it doesn’t change anything about that round.  I’ll find the correct saved file and edit it in from there.  Or you can, w/e.

[Soulblighter]

It is best if you do it as I don’t have the savefile yet. :D. If you can send it to my email as well. Then I can use it when I am playing with Axis.

[Shin-Ji]

I was using the same one posted in the thread here.

Anyway, here ya go.  Remember to set it to Play by Post.

[Soulblighter]

Allies can annex TTs belonging to the dutch in the Pacific. So it makes sense that the allies can also annex TT’s hold by France after the capital falls. This would also mean that any TT with UK troops in it, would automatically become UK, but it at the very least will allow for a way to use those TT’s belonging to France after the capital is gone. Otherwise the only way to actually reuse those TT’s would be to allow the Axis to take them first (which is a horrendous idea).

[Shin-Ji]

Some allies can.  The USA can’t take Dutch TTs unless they are taking them back from Japan.  THat’s a special case.

Just the way the game works.  And you forget, there is a way to get use of those French TTs - liberate France!

[Shin-Ji]

BTW- sorry it’s taking so long, trying to figure out a good J1 DOW strat for this setup.

[Shin-Ji]

It’s the same deal if Russia falls - until an Axis power conquers say, Ukraine, the Allies can’t just walk in and make use of it.
