We have game week. No kids or wives allowed. Always at my single buddy’s house. Starts on Wednesday or Thursday ends Sunday. We can usually play 2. First day starts around 1400. Second day grinds from 0900 to about 0200 each day depending on alcohol consumption.

I’ve tried 5 subs on G1. you have to destroy the whole UK Fleet on G1 and then park in 112 assuming you got the UK navy except for 109. Park your cruiser in 112 and have 3 ftrs on standby to scramble.
UK pretty much has to decide to hit these guys or do Taranto. They dont get both. you will likely be able to get 3 subs on SZ109 to convoy. It worked well for me but i had to invest in 2 more subs on G2 and then turned my attention to the East. for 12 IPC you can pretty much demolish the UK income until they build a dd in Canada. this helps you because it takes units from the Africa campaign. Combine the convoy action with some nicely timed strategic bombing and you can basically level UK to building in Egypt, Persia, and South Africa.
I would say it was a different opener and fun to play it but not my normal setup.
might i also suggest our suggested poor boy table. Take a piece of 8X10 plywood and screw it to the top of the plastic table. Much more room to play.

we made some edits to the setup after playtesting. i’ve attached the file here

How was your last game group? Wish you guys were closer to Houston.
I about pi$$ed myself laughing. This has all been worth it. Maybe some day you’ll bring your self to Texas and we can set up a game of Risk or Candyland for you there Minivan

definitely need to reduce the fighter count for UK i think, in our last game they simply flew all of their fighters to france and demolished the german assualt (twice!!). reduction of initial french troops as well. We can keep the major factory but i think they should end up with about 10 inf and with reduction in UK fighters you should be able to conquer Paris right on time.
When is your game? Might be able to make it up from Houston. Your group is in Tyler right?

You need to take your meds man. It’s just a game. My challenge still stands. Come school me Obi Wan. Oyster did show up today. Alas, I had already started a game. I hope he comes to play tomorrow. As for you Minivan, I’ll play you next. See you round ladies!

here is latest test using new setup.
Interesting developments. I am Axis. Ignored Belgium and have not agitated the Pacific. I wanted to smash the Chinese as they had built a large force in Yunan and i had the firepower to knock them out. Got very lucky as far as casualties. It is UK turn and i believe they will now want to stem the tide in Burma.
Germany got counter attacked in W Ukraine and USSR got very lucky rolls. I will likely have to pull back and wait for reinforcements but the plan is to continue to attack along the Archangel- Belarus-Bryansk line.
We found a few bugs.
Somehow the Mediterranean Power objective is linked to Italy only holding the territories. I think the coding needs to be reverted back to any Axis power. We simply edited the income.
Burma likely needs to start under UK India control. I am exploiting this and we both agreed its probably cheeze that could be fixed.
The Russian navy in SZ100 is unneccessary. The battleship in 115 should probably be reduced to a cruiser because Italy had to use all their airpower to hit it to open for Germany.
So far not too bad other than a few bugs.
Also Game notes need to reflect when USA can enter the war. It’s not clearly stated and my opponent and had to kind of back calculate to figure it out. Might help with planning of USA.
France was difficult on G2 but if you take everything you got and plan it right you can get it.
I did however get very good dice so sustained minimal losses.
We would maybe like to see the Vichy rule in effect on the turn France does go down. This would give Italy a bit more of a chance because now i’m in certain danger with all that UK navy. Would eliminate the ability of UK to land fighters.
House rules tend to balance things out for us. Come to TripleA and watch us play some games or even join some games and play. I think you will see how we have unhinged the problems you speak of.
@AndrewAAGamer
If you have to ask, you probably “the guy”.
i think i’ve peed my pants laughing.
If i had known this would be so much fun, i would have done it sooner!!!
@taamvan
Not sure why I was included in this response sweetheart.
i’m not to familiar with forum gaming but i’m on TripleA a lot
i’ll wait my turn.
i’m still waiting for Andrew to take my challenge,… sigh, i guess i’ll continue to wait.
@Aaron_the_Warmonger
for the record he did win, because it wouldn’t be very nice to beat Jesus, would it?
I told him he had to roll the dice fair and square but i could tell a few of them were “breathed upon”!!!
@Aaron_the_Warmonger
once again the lack of a comma in a sentence causes havoc!!!

@AndrewAAGamer
I think I’m being very clear. I want to play you in a game. If you are as good as you say you are, then I shouldn’t be much of a challenge to “one of the best”. I don’t want to play shitty players anymore. Let’s get the dice rolling or don’t keep throwing out baseless claims
If you want realism play World in Flames but Jesus I played a whole game once and it took a year!!!
