I’d like the Allies in World at War 1939 – I’m pretty flexible on the settings. Looking for someone who will usually post a turn within 12 to 48 hours of when I post mine; life does get in the way sometimes, but if we can’t keep up a decent pace then I’ll lose interest, and if you expect me to be glued to the monitor waiting for your move then you’ll be disappointed. I’m an intermediate player.

Hey, are we still doing this? I don’t know how often you like to post turns, but this can be a long game – 14 turns or so times 10+ countries means that if we let too long go between moves, then we’ll still be playing in 2021.

Sounds good to me! After all that, the naval battles wound up being crisp this turn, anyway. The German navy did very well for itself, but Army Group West has its shoes tied together. Three casualties against Belgium! That’s full dice for you – full of surprises.

I’m going to just rely on the PBEM to send you saved files, and not post here. Have fun with R1.

OK, I sent you the G1 combat move by e-mail – let me know whether you got it OK!

Full dice is no problem – I’ll send you the first turn soon!

Cool! Mine is jasongreenlowe@gmail.com for chat, and Xeerd@aol.com for dice if you really want to use a dice server, but I’m just as happy to skip the dice server for a casual game.

Any settings you care about in terms of game options?

If you’re still interested, I’d be down for that. I’ve played about five games against the AI and two against humans – I feel like I have a decent sense of how the map works, but I’m not an expert. You can pick which side you want.

Corpo24, yeah. Karl7 was there but did not deign to play a house rules game that was not even based off the Global map.

I’ve got a “Balanced Mod” for Anniversary in the House Rules forum that tries to “backload” the Allied national objectives so that the Allies, especially the USA, will have a booming economy in the endgame if the Axis aren’t able to shut it down. That way instead of “Allies have more income, can the Axis catch up, yes, they can, they did, ok, great, now the Axis win” the story becomes “Allies have more income, can the Axis catch up, yes, they can, they did, but eventually the Allies will mobilize for total war; can the Allies rebound successfully before the Axis get so huge that even the extra national objectives won’t help, maybe, they might, it’s a really close call.”

Playtested it live for the first time a month ago, and it seemed quite fair to us. Axis roll and I have also played it online with decent results.

Yeah, I wondered about that when I saw the rules. Most of the pricier units (BBs, Carriers, Armor, etc.) require multiple hits to destroy in combat, but you can kill them with one hit from a strategic bombing raid. What’s the counter to strategic bombing? How do you stop it?
