I’m looking forward to this Tourney!
With the speed signup has had so far, we should have no problem in making 32 or even 64 contestants :-)

Why is 1942 scenario so unpopular???
The number of posts in the 1942 forum completely overwhelms the 1941 forum…Why is that so?
Is it that we would all like to learn the 1941 game , before putting our mind into a new setup?But why was it 1941 that got instant popularity, instead of 1942? :?
Just curious. Why are YOU less interested in the 1942 scenario?

RE: Anti Aircraft Ownership question
Yes, it is the territory owner that gets it.
In your example, the AA goes to the Soviets.A long time ago, we played this totally incorrect. I think the AA went to the original owner … :roll:
Like if the IND AA had walked up to CAU, and the territory then was liberated by Americans, the AA became British. :-)

RE: 41 or 42 which do you
I’ve still only played 1 game of '42.
Not to keen to explore it any further either. I’d like to explore more of the '41 scenario still -
RE: Dice Tower?
They do seem a bit cumbersome…?
Do they not take up quite a lot of valuable table space when gaming? (especially with the new HUGE AA50 board…) -
Given KGF, where & how many ICs should J build
So, what’s your thoughts on this?
My take on this is, that of course you’d like two ICs on the mainland. But it means a tradeoff, where you might under-utilize your existing TRNs, and you get less units on the ground (because of the 15 Ipc investment in the IC)
We are assuming KGF here , so no Allied ICs in are being built in Asia or Africa.

RE: Japan Basic Strategies, Concepts and Ideas
It seems that there are a lot of different thoughts out there, on how to play Japan…
For myself, Japan has always proven to be the most difficult country to play, even since 2nd Ed.It’s not that Japan has difficulty to expand (Germany is far more threatened than Japan), it is just that I can’t seem to play an optimized game with Japan, as easily as I can with Germany or Italy.
Anyhow, what to do with a Japan, in the case that US goes 100% KGF?
Go all out on Russia - or try to disturb US through landings in Alaska?
How heavy should you land in ALA in that case?I’m thinking that it might be better to go all out on Russia. But then again, I’m not exactly an expert Japan player…

RE: Building Italian fleet - is there a point?
So , you are saying that Ita should get a CV? :|
I just can’t see how axis can manage without the land forces that Italy could buy instead; it is a total of 24 ipc we are talking about (cv + ftr) -
RE: On the subject of the Russian Sub
I hate that damn Russian sub :-)
In my current two games, I had the following disasters happen, inflicted by the russian sub:
-
The sub entered Indian Ocean, through Red Sea. Thus preventing me from running unescorted trannies in the south Asian waters, making it necessary for me to build several escort ships, solely for defense against that silly sub (my main fleet is off at US West coast to battle US Pac Fleet)
-
On G1 my 1ca 1 ss attacks NOR, and kills the UK DD w/o loss, only to be attacked by the ruskie sub - which promptly goes about sinking both my CA and my SS …
I’ve had it with that sub. I’ll re-write the russian setup chart next :-)

RE: Mutual Elimination & Transports
Humpf…
It would appear that I’ve played this incorrectly up until now then….!
Thank you for your help! -
RE: AA50-41 PBF Tourney Discussion (Sign-up - Closed)
I vote for 13 VCs. If you get 13 you’re winning anyway, so it’s just a way of shortening the game, and the tournament.
Ditto. 13 VCs , or concession :-)
It is good to have some formal “closing point”, so that games do not drag on and on , even far after any hopes of winning is lost. -
Mutual Elimination & Transports
Hi
What happens if we have a mutual elimination of all Combat units in a SZ, and hapless Trns sit in the same SZ?Attacker 1 bmb
Defender 1 DD, 3 TrnsFirst round: Both attacker and defender score a hit.
Do the transports live?

RE: Japan should dump all its money into Research first turn
@Unknown:
No, he’s correct. It’s about 66% that you will have a tech after rolling on J2 if you buy 3 tokens on J1 (and none on J2).
It’s about 42% to get one at the start of J1.Right! I didn’t notice that Wodan was talking about beginning of Turn 2!
The idea has merit, but as you point out, it gives Japan a bit of a slow start, as for shuffling troops into Asia…
