@freh said in Mongolia problem:

Sometimes it would trigger at the beginning of the combat phase, before any battles were run, which is strange.

ok so it does fire before combat. It must need a unit presence in Amur then and not just control. Should be able to add a condition for control only.

Just have to make sure it only works when JPN declares war

@avner Thx, you too! First time I tried a strategy of really targeting Russia, even with Japan, and it worked pretty well

@freh Sorry for the delay after all the bad results I needed a small time away from the game! Ill post the result.

@mike64 GG! I sent you a DM.

@mozkaynak sure! Lemme know

@giallo Maybe the G1 attack on Sz111, I could’ve saved my bomber, but still that was a 90% battle for me. Malaya on J2 was a 95, and your attack on TJ, while gutsy, was lucky af. Both of those outcomes led to me losing too many boats, too early, and coupled with losing so much LW in G1, I was toast.
Been awhile since I had that many things go wrong so early in the game.

bump @kido_butai_6

@dannyduck716 gg! yeah, I think you’d have a tough time fighting back in this one…

@freh Well played Freh!! was a good game, I keep loosing with the allies. Realy need to tweak my play…

@dawgoneit Thanks.GG. I expected you to fall back with your eastern force last turn to merge up with the stacks of inf you just bought!

I must say, it was a different strategy you used with Italy - I’d never seen the eastern stack supplemented with so many Italian mechs.

@freh When you had your German bomber in the Pac, I could not risk just to put 1 dd for blocking; for a while you had an Italian bomber, not as effective, since I move Anzac afterwards, Imagine if you had both bombers there… Let me know if you are interested in a rematch sometimes.

@odonis GG, sure let’s play again. sub in sz98, artillery in the Sudan. GLHF!

@dawgoneit K let’s switch sides.

I’ll take trn in sz 63, inf Normandy, inf Alexandrea, inf Egypt.

Good Luck & have fun!

You do not have to wait. Those figs i sent to US carrier early was mainly to protect fleet from your 91 fleet but i did see the potential kickstart. I have never purchased the dd cv ss G1 but I’ve faced it two times in a row and it’s way stronger than I thought it would be, even negating the Sea Lion potential, as it’s diminished in BM. Definitely would have been a different game if that fleet survived in the Med

@freh Well I felt it was a low risk for USA, even if I loose some planes, since all your planes were in novgorod, Normandy and Holland were safe, In deed fun game 😁 Let me know if you wanna do a rematch in the new year!

@LennardF I definitely was worried there for a bit about the Pacific but just managed to hang on. I was lucky that my med fleet could make it to the Indian Ocean so quickly to hold you off. But you did a really good job of having two strong Japanese fleets to be able to keep the allies at bay.

@freh sure same bid please!

@freh dammit I was trying to reply, not start a new topic. Mods, can you delete this? Thx

@dawgoneit yeah this one was tough - you had some early moves and the dice go against you. Even that last Iraq battle, you should have done way more damage and taken out some German air.

@freh said in Submarine-related Issues with TripleA:

@axis-dominion So it seems the problems are in games when one player is using 2.2.20365 or earlier, and another player is using 2.2.20790 or later. If all players are using the most up to date version, the problem doesn’t occur. To me, that’s the solution.

Nope. Ksmckay and I were using the same latest version and ran into it big time.

Can you reproduce that?

@freh destroyer in sz110, a artillery in sudan, a tank in egypt

Hi, still up for another game? BTW, I had to upgrade to 2.5.22294 (the latest version) - so I could play a non-league game with a friend so you’d probably need that version as I think the game is cranky about mixing and matching saved game files.

Hi, I’m looking for a game of BM3, bid, dice, no tech. Let me know if you’re interested

@freh said in Bids for allies - 60???:

Wow, I’ve been away from the game so things must have shifted and strategy must be evovling. I just can’t imagine losing with the opportunity to put $60 worth of allied units before the game starts. Are there any patterns to bids? Does it get concentrated in one nation (defending UK against initial German attacks, or giving Russia some more offensive bite) or is it spread out?

As I said my gaming group in Seattle has gone up to $60. I am not sure that is true for the general community. The placement of the Bid depends on the Player. Sometimes it all goes in Russia, sometimes it all goes to UK Europe. Personally I think that is six of one half a dozen of another. Bid units in Russia protect Moscow so the Allies do not need to help Russia defend their capital. Bid units for UK Europe assist UK in defense of London and in taking out the Italians much faster which allows them to assist Russia either with direct unit intervention for the defense of Moscow or intense pressure on the Atlantic Wall. The end result is basically the same. Either the UK is strong and gets help to Russia fast or the UK is weak and struggles but never has to send help to Russia because Russia is strong. Personally I like a 50-50 balance between UK Europe and Russia. Best of both worlds. 🙂

One constant is that normally at least 80% up to all 100% goes on the Europe side of the board versus the Pacific side of the board.
