@weddingsinger All I was trying to say is that parking your US fleet in SZ 6 is a recipe for disaster, when it can be in every space around SZ 6 and be much safer. You can however, park as many subs there as you want because 1) once you control that area, you can screen out destroyers who could come 2) he cant build ships in SZ 6 unless you threaten that build, so any destroyers that are built can be blown up before Japan’s next turn 3) the subs can’t be hit by either kamis or planes, whereas your surface fleet can usually be mopped up by Japan’s abundant air force returning home plus some kamis on the carriers to defeat the air support
What setup do you use?

What do you use ? :?
-
You should add,
FINAL ALPHA 3.9+ to your poll.
-
-
The most recent modifications should always be used, that’s just my opinion.
-
I agree I completly forgot about Alpha +3.9
-
My gaming group always plays the most recent version; however, I have not had a chance to play the Alpha “3.9” version. I will be trying out the new game next weekend :-D
-
oob… :D
1. sake of my friends who are not all familiar with the latest rules and we don´t play very often.
2. sake of me, because since the rules are not officially set i won´t change anything knowing that alpha 2+ etc. are really well made and did change the game a lot…rock on!
-
I want to CHANGE my vote!
-
So far I’ve mainly been an OOB player.
-
OOB of course. Down with the DLCs! :x

Are you peeing on that rock wall in your avatar photo?

TY at least im not the only OOB player i find as the rules are revised its gets more cofusing,
EX: Wait why is that troop not there?
Were playing Alpha +2
Oh Yeah, Dur -
Alpha 2 is the one I’ve been using. Not used alpha 3 yet.
-
How about oztea’s '42 setup? It’s posted in Harris Game Design forums, the setup is very interesting and essentially skips the first two rounds of combat. There are few other interesting things, the Germans in Africa and a fairly larger Japanese navy.
-
I use Alpha+3.9 too because I just prefer to use the most up-to-date version possible. Of course, that has been rather frustrating with new versions coming out every month or so.
By the way, there WAS an Alpha+1. There were even Alpha and Alpha+.
munchie19,
That 1942 setup sounds pretty interesting. I would like to check it out myself. Is it only available on the Larry Harris site? -
I used out of box, but we are about to do a game using Alpha 3
-
I’ve seen the 1942 setup (and there’s a 1941 setup as well). However, I don’t play either–the 1940 setup means flexibility for the Axis whereas the others limit the Axis’ options.
-
OOB
-
It was about a year of the +2 and then a few of the different +3 versions and the last 2 are the 3.99, when is the 4.0 thread gonna start
-
Knp7765, it’s a '41 setup. I apologize my original post was incorrect, I’m in the middle of my second game of the alternate setup, here’s the link for the setup: http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6834
