    Yea, don’t think you got the gear for it…if you do, well, then I shall have to fight all the harder to crush you!

    And the mongols are now Russian?

  • 2007 AAR League

    ok… won’t come into play until the russian turn, but i’m assuming the mongols are now russian since you did declare war on russia. otherwise, there is no penalty on japan for a d.o.w… but perhaps i am missing something.

    anyway… that’s a problem for next turn, doesn’t affect u.s./britain operations.

    gunna finish?

    Also, Russia does not get the Mongolians.  Japan has not invaded any Russian territories that border Mongolia - the explicit reason they have not yet done so.

  • 2007 AAR League

    first the german tanks blitzed through china (an allied territory) without russia being able to chase them down…. but i tipped my hat to you on that one, bizarre as it was. but now, if the japs can tip-toe around mongolia, they can still attack russia and there’s no penalty whatsoever? why in the world do they not attack from the get-go?!?!?!

    this is the very definition of “unintended consequences”… i think we’ve turned this game completely on its head. alpha+3 needs some serious revision if it allows this kind of circumvention of the spirit of the rules. we’re no longer concocting serious strategy, we’re performing contortions to find loopholes for bizarre ways to conquer territories that are not “against the rules.”

    italy is up…

  • 2007 AAR League

    Sorry if I got on my soapboxed there… nothing personal. I know you’ve been involved in a lot of the revisions on this edition and others, and I appreciate that as much as most folks who get enjoyment from these game boards. It just seems to me we are having a forest/trees issue with this latest edition. We are so determined to create the perfect game that we are losing sight of the basic reason so many people come to this site: to enjoy playing a historically based game. We can’t imagine actually playing the game by its base rules – even though the designers are people with a proven track record. No, we need to constantly tinker with rules in our quest for the perfectly balanced game. Which is ironic considering that dice (the epitome of chance and luck) quite literally determine the outcome of every game. It is to the point now that a casual player can’t even keep up with what ruleset is being used from one day to the next. I have even stopped the use of anything but out of box rules for any F2F games… I can’t keep up with the nearly-daily versions. It’s almost as bad as software releases. Okay… I’ve had my say. Play it however you like. It is Italy’s turn…
