Rules Questions so far: Defender's Casualty Selection

@drdachel said in newbie with a bunch of questions:

@aardvarkpepper
I assume by what you’re saying that I can go backwards in the game and relive the various moves.

Nope. You could try setting up a game with you playing all powers, and try to recreate the situation though.

I wasn’t trying to eliminate them, but in the videos, the swooshes appeared to be 1/4" or so and on my screen they were like 3/4 of an inch. They pretty much covered the width of Japan making it hard to see what else I had left. No biggy.

They used to have the lines connected to the UI, with individual lines for each unit (not merely unit type), which resulted in literally uncontrollable situations when there were too many lines.

Sweet, didn’t see that and thought it was just a stack of 2 indistinguishable fighters. Disregard post.

Yeah you could make that work. Just choose amongst yourselves which country you want to play on the same team and hand over the device. Also, the local “hot seat” mode makes your computer into a virtual boardgame if you want to play against each other

Yeah there are some funky dice results. Worst one is they exacerbate the RNG problems by doing a multiplier–so in one battle they rolled 1,2,4,4,5,6 but the x6 marker fell on the 1 and 2, giving them 12/18 hits on 18 '2’s. Disappointing given how hard it would be to roll 1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,4,4,4,4,5,6.

Some of the players are plenty good, its not really a good idea to let noobs on your team its better just to play the whole dang team yourself.

Still some problems with lag but already seeing improvement.

@Eqqman When I was playing this heavily (played a lot in Season 1 and got to Platinum, got too busy with IRL stuff + got fed-up with bad dice luck Season 2 and haven’t played much past my qualifier games) Players didn’t start becoming competent until like high Gold Tier in Ranked. Especially the Axis Players, as the balance in 42SE (even the Gencon Rules, which is what Ranked uses exclusively) is in-favor of the Axis to the point where a lot of Axis Players can do totally wonky stuff and still win through the sheer advantage (at least on-paper) that the Axis have in the starting setup (win rates in Platinum Tier are probably more even, but the Allies are much harder to play at a high level in 42SE than the Axis are, IMO).

That is cool, thank you,
