@Code_Name_Bob No, they cannot.

@djensen If the goal with the bidding rules is to speed up game time start, then I would suggest something like:

“If exactly one team has made a bid by the official game start time, that bid is automatically accepted. If neither team has made a bid by the official game start time, then the referee will take the average bid made across all tables so far at the tournament, apply it to that table, and flip a coin to determine which team will play which side.”

For purchasing after your clock has run out, I wouldn’t give any significant extra time. You already used all your time; that’s the whole point. I would say that if your clock hits 0:00.00 during your purchase phase, then you lock in any units that are currently sitting in the unit purchase box, any remaining income gets converted into infantry in the unit purchase box, you have 30 seconds to put any units in the unit purchase box in any secondary factories you might want to defend (e.g. India), and then any units left in your purchase box at the end of the 30 seconds go to your capital (e.g. London) or (if your capital is full) are wasted.

@djensen pretty good start; thanks for reaching out. Probably most important thing to fix is getting more rigorous about what happens when people break the rules. Even if the answer is “Dave has total discretion to punish or not punish or fix or ignore any rule violation he wants however he wants,” you should still wrote that down. It’ll cut down on drama.

Some specific examples:

What happens if neither player has made a bid when game start is called? Do you just roll to see who plays Axis with 0 bid?

What happens if bid is called but not placed 5 minutes before game start?

What happens if a player makes an illegal move that is not discovered until later, e.g., sent a plane into combat that has nowhere to land?

What happens if a player forgets to declare their purchase until combat begins?

What precisely does “complete your purchase and place it immediately” mean in the “out of time” section? Do you have 30 seconds from when the buzzer goes off? 60 seconds? Do you just place whatever you already bought and spend any remainder on infantry? Does it matter whether your purchases were clearly marked in the purchase zone or just sort of in your head?

What happens if the game board is not set up in time? Do players reduce the time on their clocks, or does the round run late, or what?

…

One more issue is that with chess clocks, you probably need a rule for what happens when your opponent is taking their sweet time to, e.g., roll defensive dice, or decide on defensive casualties. Do you pause the clock? Hit the clock? Call a referee? I wish I were kidding but I’ve seen defending teammates break out into an argument about whether to lose an infantry or an aa gun while the attacker’s clock is running.

…

Finally, for a short AA50 game, my play group likes to count Cairo as a victory city. Cuts down on ties and better reflects the importance that people usually assign to attacking that region.

@Stucifer Yeah, scrambling is fun! I wanted to minimize the rules changes for this particular map – see how far I can get with just new territories and new sea zones. I agree that in general everywhere should be able to scramble.

I’ve had fun with A2/D3/C8 planes on other maps (which I originally stole from World at War), but once I start tweaking the fighter stats I want to tweak all the other stats and pretty soon it’s a totally new unit roster. If you give a mouse a cookie…

Anyway, happy holidays, and you just make your move if and when you find that you have time to resume the game. Good luck with the PTV championship.

@Stucifer Had enough? We don’t have to finish the game if you’re not into it.

@Stucifer Thank you! I thought the playtest went great; I had a nice time, learned how to improve the game, and got some positive comments from the players.

@Stucifer Hmm. I moved before my coffee kicked in this morning. Instead of just moving the German fighter from Normandy to Germany, I should have had it kill the unprotected French transport in sea zone 12 and then land in Algeria.

If you think it’s too late to change that, I understand. If not, would you please edit that in?

Cheers.

Oh, sorry, Global 42. My bomber joke was because I thought you meant Spring 1942 version 3. But, still, good luck.

@Stucifer Good luck! :-)

Don’t lose that bomber…

Hello! I’m looking for a second playtester for my new WW2v3 Deluxe map, available for download through the server. The scenario starts in October 1941 (one turn after Barbarossa) and mostly follows the WW2v3 ruleset, although there are cheaper ships, minor factories, new national objectives, and a few more territories added in key regions. Stucifer is very kindly playing the Allies against me in an ongoing game. Anyone want to start a second game as the Axis, so I can try out the Allies?

If you want more info on the map, you can check out this post: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39680/aa50-anniversary-modular-map-overlays-splitting-australia-the-balkans-and-sea-zones-adding-cairo-malaya-singapore-rio-cape-town-recruitment-centers-and-tons-more/55
