@robson Thanks for understanding. Looking at the rules, don’t see how in this tournament version you come back from the UK loss. Also tells me maybe my thought on being aggressive is actually not the right solution because of the victory token rule set. I’d like to try again as the allies and this time hopefully understand the rules better (!!!) and the dice gods are a bit more on my side! ;-)

RE: Find Opponents Here!
@robson that sounds interesting. Why don’t you try your hand at Axis this time. Can you start the game and a thread for us?

@robson Thank you! Also, want to learn a bit more because my face to face group plans on playing on the 20th with @Young-Grasshopper Tournament rules. We have always struggled to get a game finished and I’m convinced that Grasshopper has cracked the code on that! So, very excited to try it face to face.

@Robson I am no absolutely convinced that the choice of game name has cursed everyone but the French! :laughing:

@robson Ha! A bit like me not remembering you took Eire and I lost my German fleet! At least you could retreat and didn’t lose any of your air.

@robson yeah, Italy is a beast! Never seen all of France go to the Italians. Fascinating opening rounds

@Robson and I am also having a blast with it. So far out of the norm that anything I thought I knew about strategy in this game is out the window! Time to have fun and try out things.

@robson I find it quite funny that the chinese nor the UKP hit anything… oh, except of course for the aa gun! strange game indeed.

@robson Italians bought a battleship ?!?!? This game is awesome.

@robson I truly love the idea of a “spontaneous” vacation! Enjoy. I’ll hopefully have a G6 turn waiting for you by then.

@Robson Sorry for the delay in making my turn. Another busy week for work. I’ll be taking a week off starting Wednesday. No internet for a week! Can’t wait.

@kilroynothere First time I’ve seen a victory token pop up! Kinda fun.

RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods
@robson Wow… that was close to a 50/50 fight. But a fun ending to the game. I’ll try Axis this time. still convinced it has the disadvantage in this variant (especially now with UK getting a DD and ftr each round US is not in the war). Maybe the dice gods will be more kind this time.

@robson I downloaded and noticed that the new rule was within the game. Hope to have a first round to you today. Looking forward to another exciting game!

@robson Game 3, Kilroy Axis, latest YGTE ruleset. “Will the Dice Gods still be angry?”
Scramble in UK?

RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods
@robson might be the worst decision of all times, but… scramble all three. Makes you have some tricky choices. And that’s fun!

RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods
@Robson I noticed that one of the brit fighters got splashed because the carrier was gone. I think one of your fighters had the range to land on Malta. So, the game might have just taken the fighter with the range prior to the one without. Go check that and if so, please add a fighter on Malta.

RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods
@robson I love it! I always make that move as well figuring with all of Germany’s air, defending is a bad idea… attack and hope to catch a valuable piece!

RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods
@robson actually UKP can declare war at anytime, its just the US that cannot early. Just figured you didn’t want to declare war with that move…

RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods
@robson so I was wrong. After re-reading, UKP can only attack on round 3 unless attacked before. I mis-read that. Sooooo complicated!
