I think MARTI is already sentient. He knows exactly when I am at my most vulnerable, and that’s when he hits me with a dicing. I usually find that after an hour or more of crying I’m okay again.

Any benefits of patronage would be nice, but it was the badges which worked for me :trophy: . I saw them on forum posts, which led me to the donation page and consequently I felt like I should make a donation. Maybe some people would pay for removing ads but I don’t find them too intrusive on the forums.

To be honest A&A, this website, TripleA and the A&A community are way better than any startegy game I’ve purchased. I’m totally hooked! Hopefully more new people will find it and then become paid up members too.

Totally agree. PtV is a great.

The vast majority of the units, rules and mechanics are BM, but the additional mechanics and new map make it a really interesting change. I’d recommend anyone to give it a try.

I’m one of the worst PtV players and I enjoy it.

I only played a couple of games against Trulpen, and he easily beat me in both. He happily offered good feedback on my play when asked, as well as encouragement. I was impressed by the number of games (of varying rulesets) he could play - rapidly - at the same time, and play them well. A sad loss.

Yeah, the Allied strategy is hard to prescribe as the Axis decide the direction the game goes, best way is to just get some games under the belt. I have some sugestions, based on the few games I’ve played, which are hopefully are easy to follow. I’m not very experienced though, so these tips may be sub-optimal.

Russia:
1 Avoid losing units, focus on gradually pulling back and defending Moscow.
2 Build defensively (infantry, maybe mechanised infantry in Leningrad so they can get back to Moscow when needed).
3 Pull infantry back from the far east and try to keep Moscow until they arrive.

US:
1 Put most of your IPCs into the Europe side.
2 Get transports shuttling troops across to Morocco and have enough navy to protect them. Push the Italians out of North Africa.
3 Threaten landings on mainland Europe to force Germany to spend defensively and ease the pressure on Russia.

China:
1 Be careful of leaving units in range of Japan’s air units, and be sure to protect your one fighter.
2 Take out any Japanese land units you reasonably can, they are hard for Japan to replace initially, but focus on staying alive for as long as you can.

UK:
1 Try to deny Italy income. Attack Italy’s African territories where reasonable (e.g. Ethiopia), and stop it from getting objectives.
2 Concentrate whatever navy remains after German and Japanese attacks, try to get control of the Atlantic and Med to help move troops.
3 Keep hold of key territories (e.g. Egypt and India) and if you push out from these be wary of being outflanked by transports and losing them.

ANZAC:
1 Your income is limited, if possible grab an objective or one of the Dutch East Indies to boost it.
2 If Japan comes after you early then defend as long as you can as it keeps their ships and planes out of position.
3 Otherwise annoy them as much as possible, keep grabbing Dutch East Indies islands and forcing them to invest units in takling them back.

France:
1 Stay out of the way and enjoy the ride!

If you are playing a VC game then keep an eye on the VC count, if Moscow falls make sure to hold Egypt, if India falls make sure to hold Sydney and Hawaii.

@simon33 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Only of the North American territories though. They don’t collect income from Africa or the Middle East.

That sounds reasonable. I like it! Should the UK fall, Canada and the Royal Navy can fight on and recapture England’s green and pleasant land (without having to wait for Japan to drag the US into the war).

Yes indeed. That if you took Paris you couldn’t keep building in these territories was a real disincentive to retaking them.

Yeah, recapturing Paris was not worth the US losing control of factories in Europe.

Great stuff. Next time I start a BM game I’ll encourage the opponent to play with these rules, and bait them into a Sealion! Not that those SS troops would stand a chance against the world’s best fighters…

A note for others that we were playing with Battleships at 16 and cruisers at 10.

Was this a Black Friday deal?

@Martin said in Post League Game Results Here:

setting up a game is a bit like programming on a C64, LOL.

Commodore 64 reference in 2025!

When I was young I saw my uncle playing the Transformers game on his C64 and it blew my little mind! I don’t think I ever recovered from that moment.

It denies Moscow reinforcements on R6+, but it seems a powerful strategy and if Japan is weakened then halting Germany in the Middle East is easier. If it is premeditated then UK Pacific and ANZAC purchases and moves can be coordinated and combined with China to pressure key places like Yunnan, Malaya and the DEI. It also seems a better use of the US Pacific fleet, which for me often sits off Queensland or Hawaii and is easily blocked off by Japan whilst it is busy elsewhere.

Obviously every strategy has a counter strategy, and the skill and experience of the player is what makes the difference. I haven’t faced this before and couldn’t respond to it, but it has been interesting to learn about it.

@simon33 said in L25 French Rebalance FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Simon33 (Allies+6) #2:

oh and thanks for the game. Yeah, the worst part was USA grabbing Korea in a way it could hold it. Otherwise, you were still in this game.

Was that the plan from R1? I assume so, otherwise you would have moved those infantry west. Even now I’m not sure what the counter is, J2 & J3 Japan needs it’s air and fleet in SE Asia and the DEI, if it covers a landing in Korea then it is restricted on those key rounds and the UK can push out from India.
