Neutral Blocks Discussion - Delta+1

[Young Grasshopper]

@Vance:

@Young:

In version 1C…. what if Germany attacks a strict neutral and one of the neutral territories within that block is pro axis, does that territory also become allied controled immediatly after germany takes the strict neutral?

I have edited them with the term “strict neutral” inserted to clarify that only strict neutrals become pro axis or pro allies

To quote Will Smith in the movie Hancock,    “Good job…… Good job”

[Young Grasshopper]

We need more voters for the versions Vance listed, or explain why you don’t wish to vote for one. Thanks

Honestly, i prefer the original neutral rules over the suggested neutral blocks modification, so i’ll refrain from voting on this one.

A “none of the above” option has been added to this poll.

I voted 2a, it seems to have the least impact on the board, but only playtesting will tell us actually which is the best.

Actually I voted for the wrong one, I wanted 1a, the one where they automatically turn and not go ‘pro-neutral’.

But in reality I would have voted for my suggestion, which is 1a with the addition of Mongolia no longer being a strict neutral at all but instead being directly linked to the Rus/Jap border.

Not sure I follow, could you give us an example?  Remember that the neutral blocks rule has no influence on pro neutrals.

[wheatbeer]

In 1C there isn’t any way for a member of a neutral block to ever be pro-axis or pro-allies.

Holy hell, too many options!

Guys, I know it’s cool and all to have your post count increased, but to make it easier for everyone could you list every option (with bold red letters for the option designation) in one post?

Don’t worry Jen, I don’t think anyone will be challenging your post totals any time soon.

Yea, I remember the last guy who had top post totals and he said I’d never pass him either - until I doubled his count!  Gosh, I love playing this game! (crap, 14 rounds with no hits for anyone!!!)

[JimmyHat]

the options are listed on page 11.  We need more voters.

There may be only a hand full of us, that sees this thing to the end.

Y’know, we could probably renew interest in this project by getting some games going. Once the current round of voting is done we will a good first bunch of rules more or less in place (gov in exile, neutral blocks, alpha 3 AA, china into India).  A lot of people have time off over the holidays (i.e. university students etc.) and they might be interested in giving Delta 1 a try.  Also don’t forget the wave of people who will get the games as Christmas presents and in the new year they will be eagerly looking online for whatever seems the latest and coolest.

[Young Grasshopper]

That would be up to you guys, I detest playing online.

[JimmyHat]

how come it says we have 8 votes but only 6 voters?

With only 6 votes and 12 options, perhaps we need to run the vote again?  Actually I think we just playtest the most voted for options and see which one has the least impact on gamebalance.

EDIT: ah, I voted once.  I figured why would we have 2 votes?  Pick the system you like best, not the two best.  I dunno.

[Young Grasshopper]

Some voters only voted once, instead of the 2 votes they were allowed.

I’ll vote later.

[Jennifer]

I don’t like any of them!  They all result in USA/USSR attacking Germany.

So what else next to “none of the above” should i vote? ;)

(actually, i don’t see a 2nd vote option)
