Nice report Dave. 2 things strike me as particularly interesting (and Steve Balk can comment more on point #1, below). #1: Andrew Rader seems to be failing...
Hi Ken, Thanks. I wish others would take the time to forward their game reports a bit more. A few years ago we regularly saw a couple of these every week. ...
Our previous AIF game ended due to Axis demoralization after we sank most of their carriers and nuked them so we switched sides and are trying again. We are...
I know there have been a couple of posts about the MWiF project managers request for strategy suggestions for him to incorporate into the AI of the new WiF...
Hey Ken, We took the rail through Vichy option instead to conunter the allies go through Spain. That way we can have a strong Vichy at our backs and still...
Hello all, I seem to remember hearing from somewhere that the Chicoms had to use Russian o-chits. Am I going crazy, or is there some reason for this? After...
I agree. Non matching dice can be a real problem. It makes it very hard to train them. See Knights of the Dinner Table for a full reference on this. ...
Andrew, I could almost feel sorry for your bad attack dice but, nope I guess I don't. :) Rich Gause ... From: grossadmiralrader <raderandrew@...> To:...
Actually I prefer different colored dice based on what country I am playing. If Japan red and white, US red white and blue, USSR red and gold etc... or I...
The America in flames rules say "If you drop an atom bomb on a minor country it immediately becomes a full ally of a major power on the other side as if you...
Thanks for the game report. I still think it is a mistake to play AiF with SiF, but the Axis situation you describe will give them a fighting chance. If they...
I'd say no. You can't declare war on a conquered country, and since dropping an a-bomb on a minor is stated as having the same effect as an enemy DOW .... no...
After lots of discussion, I believe the end result was that CC uses Chinese O-chits, but the o-chit impulse is the one called by Russia, and the Russians do...
I have sworn off the notion of luck, I no longer pontificate at the altar of Lady Luck. Maybe that's the reason why I've got a 4 year 7(8?) loss-in-a-row...
4 years? Does that mean the streak began in Milton Jeff ?? Andrew, beware! :-) (And just ask Dave Knudson how well dice roll in my basement, heh heh heh.) ...
Actually, they still aren't as bad as yours! ... nope I guess I don't. :) ... allies ... backs ... last ... All ... for ... interesting ... US ... few ... auto...
One rule which would support this is that the Commies use Russian move limits. It would not make sense for any chit but a Russian one to give the ChiComs, say,...
i really enjoy reading the GR also, and I wish I was not too lazy to write much of one myself. It is truly incredible that AR is rolling poorly on land...
No, I guess I'm exaggerating, 3 years. I did win twice in a row when the SF group was playing in El Cerrito (near Berkeley), but that seemed so long ago. The...
Ah, I remember now, this is a "you" problem. IIRC (and I don't have the rules in front of me) There was a section that says you can use your ochits, and that...
As the russian plyer I hope for the Germans turn west after Poland 39. I will claim the Rumanian border zones, and the 3 Baltic states as soon as posible. I...
With a Level 2 Vichy you don't want to collapse it anyway but use it to fight the Allies, don't you? ... Nice report Dave. 2 things strike me as particularly...
In a message dated 11/2/2005 12:25:22 AM Central Standard Time, ... YOu have asked generally thte toughest question -- Russian strategy. As to the above...
We certainly don't. We spent most of our chits building up a strong Vichy army. The hedge against an Allied invasion of Spain is railing through Vichy. Not...
Yes, but the problem you face is that you can't enter Vichy territory until they're hostile, and by the time the Allies make them hostile, they've conquered...
No Bill. If the Chinese play a supercombined, they have unlimited actions. However, any Chi-Com movement still goes against Soviet action limits, so if the...
Spain isn't that easy to take. By the time this happens the VF will line the Pyrenees. A presence in the Western Med is almost inevitable as if you've bought ...
This raises the larger question of Allied strategy: if the Axis plan was to pummel Russia and not to bother closing the Med., is it a good idea to add to your...
