Experimental Alpha 4 Game - Wrongway Corrigan vs. Noll


  • I might still want to try the coordinated attack turns.  I would not allow Germany and Italy to use a combined turn until the end of the first round with Italy’s 1st and Germany’s 2nd turn.  This makes some historical sense since it’s my understanding that Italy did not enter the war until after Germany invaded France.

    The new turn sequence would be

    1.) Germany alone R1
    2.) USSR
    3.) Japan
    4.) Democratic Allies
    5.) Italy/Germany, then to USSR


  • In addition, I would like to modify the neutral rules:

    1.) Friendly neutrals.  Instead of persuasion by invasion, try influencing them with ipcs.  Choose 1-5 ipcs per friendly neutral, roll a die, if it’s your investment or less, you’ve persuaded them to join your cause.  Can only persuade those in your sphere of influence.  For the USA, this is Brazil.  The UK gets all other allied friendly neutrals.  Germany gets all of the axis friendly neutrals.

    2.) True Neutrals – the allies can’t invade them.  The axis can, but if they do, the allies get an automatic investment of 3 ipcs per round in each allied friendly or true neutral territory.  The allies can add up to an additional 2 ipcs each round, but they can never automatically persuade a neutral by making an investment total of 6 ipcs.

    Consider making a Japanese invasion of the USSR grounds for a USA DOW.

  • I really can’t take my turn until I know whether or not USA can attack if Japan does not make a DOW against it.


  • Corrigan you said you were going to attack with Japan anyway this turn don’t you? Otherwsie if I can’t attack with US I might need to change everything from US#7. (What I bought, where I am etc…)
    Because I played on the assumption that USA would be able to attack US8. (That’s also why I built a transport in the atlantic)


  • “Incidentally, I probably was going to attack with Japan on R8 anyway, so the net impact is mainly just that you don’t get your war income R7”

    That’s what I said - probably.  However, you did the one thing that would make me not attack the USA, you declared war with UK and ANZAC, now I have targets that I can take without having to mess things up with the USA.


  • But I wouldn’t have attacked you with UK/ANZAC if USA wouldnt enter the war. You could just remove 5ipcs from UK. Because really, why would I?


  • And consider a DOW from France to Japan.


  • Is it possible to DOW with ANZAC and not the UK?  I thought that they were linked?


  • Do you agree that the ANZACs would also have to withdraw their DOW?  Or should we look this up in the rules?
