I have seen some guys doing all sub bids. If you can get the bid to 30 -� � 5 subs with all major fleets can do alot of damage, and can really assist UK / hamper axis early; And make G1 painful to plan.

1 off canada,
2 off UK with fleets,
1 off gibraltar,
1 with med fleet

Sounds like a sub-standard strategy to me….� � :-P

I’ll be here all week, folks.

LOL

You are very witty good sir.

:-D

PS: is there a cover charge at your next gig?

Nope.  Just keep feeding me whisky.  :-D

I find the AI does a much better job on the latest 1942 game. At least as Axis.

I have been looking for actual pictures of the 2nd edition setup before the game begins. It might be odd, but I visualize things better looking at it this way. I can get some photos of my groups board, but we are in the middle of a game, and who knows when we’ll be able to play and finish it. I have been able to find some of the 1st edition setup, but that does me no good at this point.

Does anyone know where I might find such a thing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sending Japanese units to Western US is wasteful.

Without Germany, they’re crushed.
With Germany, they’re essentially stuck doing nothing overseas for a few turns.

Note on Heavy Bombers:  We play with a house rule that you still count BOTH dice as hits or for SBR damage.  I think it is totally ridiculous to let them roll 2 dice but only count one of them as a hit.  Heavy bombers are just that, HEAVY.  They carry a much larger bomb load and thus create more damage – i.e. 2 hits against combat units or 2 dice rolls worth of damage in SBRs (+2).  Now, the 3 dice given to Heavy Bombers in Classic was a bit excessive.  Boy you could really rack up some damage with those.  I think 2 dice is good enough though.
By the way, this is not totally unfair to the defender either.  After all, you are still rolling dice which depends on luck.  In combat, you could very well end up rolling two 6s – No hits for heavy bombers.  In an SBR, it’s entirely possible that you roll snake-eyes – A whole 4 points of damage from you mighty heavy bomber.
Rolling 2 dice and choosing the best one isn’t Heavy bombing, it’s more like Precision bombing.

Thanks! And yes, I’m ready to change with the setup. This is version 6 of the file. :P

post on the tripleA forums any questions you have, Kev is pretty good about replying.

Nice, well with depreciation of the dollar I would say that would probably be about what I pay for something like that as well. I will have to do some digging to find a place that does that, because I do admit that the ridges irritate me, not to mention the board separating from time to time if someone hits the edge or something.
