Oztea 1939 (1st game) SbY Allies vs CdS Axis


  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    Well good luck and have fun! Its going to be a real learning game for both of us.


  • @cds

    Germany starts first.


  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    Yes, I know! Still trying to come up with a gameplan. Might take me a while. Curious to see what your G1 would look like. Perhaps after I send mine you can say if you would do more or less the same as I did?!


  • @cds

    So you’ll have to play the first turn. Or do you want me to set up the game?


  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    No, Ill play the Axis (just thinking about what is good strategy to start with. I am working on it.


  • @cds

    Okay, good. Just making sure you remember. Yeah, it’s definitely a tough one. Not sure what I’ll do either. Something for future me.


  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    Well I have come up with a plan, not sure if its the best one, but for now I feel this is the most promising. Depending on how well I can bend or implement the rules to accommodate me ;) Not sure what to make of all the new politics yet, how it can help me or turn against me. The rules (the link you send me) didnt mention much about politics and what nations can do what etc. Its not really rules, more a explanation on whats on the board and where you are at in the war (what year etc)

    Do you wish to scramble?

  • @cds

    About the rules: Yeah, that’s why I had all these questions and why I couldn’t do a game the first time I tried.

    Anyways, I already spotted a major question:

    Can the UK and France declare war on Italy the first turn? It’s not clear at all. @oztea

    In the meantime, I’ll scramble.


  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    Are you Sure about the scramble? Its 5 units VS 3 and the scramble in Scotland is useless, because you cant defend vs planes


  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    I mean vs subs :)


  • @cds

    Yeah, I have no idea how to play this variant (again, first time with a human opponent), so why not (not an actual question)?

    In the meantime, I’ll scramble.

    UK can declare war on Italy first turn, its in the politics, as well as Italy can declare war on either UK and or France.

    I wanted to send ftrs towards Italy (airbase) to help upgrade the defense vs UK and France navy attacks, but because Italy is still out of the war it wouldnt let me. Thats the downside playing with the Axis in this scenario. I also reckon that the Allies can take a lot of territory to help them boost their economy, they are already very rich it seems.

    I have taken a look at the politics panel in the game itself, I think there is some kind of bug or so going on. Because Japan is allied to Italy, but Germany is not yet allied. Seems strange that Italy is already allied to Japan and not yet to Germany.


  • @cds

    But it wasn’t stated in the 1939 thread, and as Panther says, we should never trust TripleA for rules (even if I am guilty of that myself sometimes). It could simply be an unintended and undesired consequence of something else (even if I think that’s unlikely). I guess my standard of proof is much higher than yours. I’m fine going with these rules regardless.


  • @cds

    Actually, Italy’s navy in sea zones 95 and 97 is very safe for turn 1, as are its North African units (I ran the calculations).

  • @SuperbattleshipYamato

    Well my standard of proof might be as high as yours, but this is my first game as well and live and learn is my motto at the moment. Just curious to see what this game is all about, I take some difficulties going a long the way for granted.
