G1 Major Fact In Romania

@superbattleshipyamato

BBR is a mod by Siredblood. 34 of us played in STL in Feb. Main game in Atlanta in september. Its different which keeps it fun.

PBEM meant play by email but its a euphemism for an asynchronous game (played 1 turn at a time remotely). Today its PABI (Play asynchronously by internet). You can also seralize a live game the same way (leaving it set up and only playing 1 turn a day or week). The “forum” is that people post the turn here on the internet–you publish your Tripple AAA log to this website and then they load that into their version of Tripple AAA, because its not a modern networked style game like Axis and Allies online.

PBM was when people would play chess by post–setting the board up at both their houses and then sending a note, letter or postcard for each move.

I’ve never considered doing both, but I really like how it’s laid out here.  If successful, Italy has effectively been eliminated from the game before they even get going.

The US would usually not care if japan goes directly for north america since the US can drop a large load of units in west US and/or central.  Japan losing the DEI is easily worth the allies losing alaska n western canada.

I’m in a slow moving game with my cousin right now. It is still the same game from when i first posted this (ie, the first time ive tried a major IC in Romania). It worked like a charm. I just took Moscow on what i THINK is G5, could be G6, with 10 tanks leftover. Italy doesn’t have egypt yet due to the UK being strong, but the Romania major IC will now pump everything down to the middle east and hopefully secure the win.

The Romania Major IC worked well with Japan only declaring war on Russia (he stacked in Amur so I took it out). Right now, because i am terrible with Japan, I’m sort of on the ropes, but I bought myself enough time that i should be able to win on the Europe board.

@Jeff28:

Man I loved the old AA50 days where the rules were simpler…

I like this map loads better and it looks great on my pool table, but hate the complex rule set and political rules…

Thanks for the help everyone…

I enjoy learning the rules, so in that sense, I don’t mind the complexity.

@Alsch91:

Normally I think UK could take back both Shan State and Yunnan on UK 3 before pulling back to Calcutta.
Thus your planes have no landing spot.

Might be costly, but also might be worth it for the reasons you suggested.

I won’t go into too much detail; this thread is about saving G1 money

Which in turn the short answer pretty much nothing; I don’t think it makes Germany react to Russia or UK as suggested by a lot of people during this thread; I think it just means you wait 1 more turn to see what Germany will do; nothing more nothing less.

It can create risk on the small off-chance depending on what your G1 attacks are and how poorly they go but that’s the dice.

Very true, those fighters are very needed in Defense, as they are stronger in that regard.

Also, I did once have a sucessfull Dunkirk evacuation of my French Fighter from the French battle.  I am pretty sure its a house rule, but the way we usually play is that if there are no attacking air units, then the defending air unit can retreat to a safe territory within its range if it survives the first round of combat.

Of course it did, and my opponent forgot to throw a Stuka at France, so the Dewontine came in very useful for a possible sealion defense and also to land on a carrier later on as a defender.
