@Colonel_Sanders we just need to wait to see his response. There is no reason not to redo Germany’s turn. And changing Italy’s destroyer buy, is just if @The_Good_Captain is feeling generous.

@CaptainNapalm @Colonel_Sanders
Well, I suppose I’m okay with refiring the game from the end of USA 2, i.e. start up from G3 as colonel sanders mentioned. There weren’t a lot of huge battles since that point, mostly just territorial exchanges. If that’s not too awkward for all concerned, I could roll with that.
Alternatively, I have no problem doing a full reboot. “Third times the charm.”
I feel both of you have the correct openers and purchases for each Axis power on turn 1. This is my 6th playing of 1941. Most of the time I played the Axis and had the same openers as you. In the game previous to playing these with you guys, one of my opponents said, “I guess you can’t stop Japan from taking India if they really want it.” And a few of his AnA pals agreed.
Obviously I disagreed but I needed to test it. I was/am using these games to test the feasibility of holding India. As a secondary goal, I’m trying to see what optional rules create the best balance without having to use houserules or a bid. And since you guys clearly aren’t “punters” either, I’m game for as many games as you like lol

fyi my offer was just to redo germanys 4th turn but I am fine picking the game up starting with germanys 3rd turn. I have a few items to do in the next hr but will proceed with this if there are no objections.
Interesting to hear you usually have played the axis GC. I would be interested in your opinion as to what optional rules make a balanced game out of this version. I was under the impression that the normal rules slightly favor the allies and closing the turkish straight seems to play more into the allies favor. I have always had an affinity for the “smash and grab” style of the axis but do enjoy playing the allies as well.
Lastly I would like to apologize to any punters who may read this and be offended by my previous off hand comments. hehehe
-
No, I don’t want to go back an entire game round. Just redo Germany’s last turn, where they did the illegal move.
-
@Colonel_Sanders @CaptainNapalm to roll it back one turn as opposed to one round will funk the game up pretty good though.
i.e. Colonel is still in a position he wouldn’t have put himself in… pffff. Iono…okay…sounds like you guys really wanna keep rolling along. Just let me know whatever you guys wanna do and I’ll go along for “shts and giggles” at this point, haha.
-
ok so it sounds like the closest thing to a consensus is for me to just redo g4. I’ll just live with the italian destroyer as a bit of a penalty for this whole fiasco.
thanks for accommodating me here as it seems my not understanding this optional rule has caused this whole issue.

@Colonel_Sanders For the moment I feel that the National Objectives may favor the Axis, same for SZ 16 being open.
That’s just seems to be the consensus from others on the forums, other opponents of mine, and my impression in the first two games I played. After removing those two optional rules, it seems more competitive to me overall but I haven’t stacked enough games to insist on anything.
-
All though not necessary I also request that you let me sub out the recently purchased italian destroyer for 2 infantry and and 2 ipc as that was all part of the naval strategy that hinged on controlling jordan for a turn. No worries if you aren’t inclined to agree to this.
just this, ya?
-
yes- 2 inf and 2 ipc for italy instead of the destroyer for italy- if its too hard to adjust ipcs id take 1 inf and tank instead. thx
