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

[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.

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.

Wow.  That was pretty terrible.  China is on point today.

[Soulblighter]

Yeah. I tried a similar move once in the old version of the game. I didn’t like it. I found I had to use most of Japan to keep the US busy, while not really doing anything other then, but I probably used the move poorly.

[Shin-Ji]

I’ve been wanting to experiment with J1 DOW for a while.  I figured this setup makes it slightly easier (no BB off Malaya if nothing else), so I thought I’d give it a shot.  Still, attacking my stack off hawaii isn’t all that great of a shot for you, even with the minor losses I took.  I’m interested to see how you react to this.
