Solution to the LL vs ADS Debate

Fleetwood Dan is correct.  It’s land units only in the box rules, and both land and air units in LHTR.

I think what I was trying to do was browse too it, but then again, it was so long ago (Switch and I were on the same side, politically, at the time.)

I use hotmail, probably always will since the entire world knows my hotmail address.

@newpaintbrush:

Axis_Roll, I think the question isn’t Japan Vs. The World, but a game in which Japan has captured Moscow and the Allies have captured Berlin.

Then the thread is mis-titled.

Perhaps it should read Japan versus the remaining allies…
or
What we call a “J.A.B.”

Japan vs. America & Britain

Well, after Germany and Russia fall, it IS Japan vs. the rest of the world.

I never heard of that jibber JABber, fool!

Tanks are strong!

  So Jennifer, it is probibly more of a matter of trust in the server than a problem with your machine? I know just how you feel. It is hard sometimes to go outside our comfort zone. And something different is not always better. I for one have few complaints with Triple A, the ladder or how the program works, although today I did have it freeze on me during a roll, (had to restart my computer to get out of it). Nothing is perfect, right?

Back to topic; I prefer LL for the mere fact that the regular dice are more often than not, unkind to me, causing much frustration. I know that I play a better game than my track record shows, and since I’ve begun playing LL it has been a lot less frustrating for me. I win more often, and even the games I’ve lost have not been one sided crushing defeats in 6 rounds. I will play AAR for fun, or to give a newbe a better chance to beat me, but not a serious game against a master Obewon Jedi AA player. I prefer to match wits, not the luck of the die rolls, for that, we can play Craps  :wink:

ugh……tolerance camp.

some people are just intolerant of others wishing to not tolerate something they perceive as wrong or bad.

PC is mind slavery.  “NO! you cant think or say that!”  “Punish them!”

even though i agree nazi’s were just a sect of germans.  not all of them.

@AJ:

What is FIDA?

http://aamc.net/bunker/forumsql/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68

All AARevised games played in AAMC use FIDA bidding unless the players agree to another bid system prior to the game starting.  FIDA stands for Flames of Europe, IAAPA, DAAK and AAMC, the four clubs that developed the bidding system.  Under FIDA bidding, each player submits a number of IPCs for a bid.  The lower bid plays Axis.  Up to half of the value of those IPCs can be placed on the mapboard prior to the start of the game in new units.  Germany can place units in territories and sea zones that already contain German units.  Japan can place units in territories and sea zones that already contain Japanese units.  Neither Axis player can place units in territories or sea zones where it does not already have units.  The remaining balance of IPCs from the bid can be given to either Germany or Japan or split in whatever manner the Axis player chooses.

Example of a bid:  15, 1 Inf in Ukraine, 1 Rtl in Libya, 6 IPC Germany, 2 IPC Japan.

@Craig:

c) Naval units can be placed with other naval units or in territories adjacent to a power’s land

This would create some interesting bids… in games where the bid was high enough
(but with the auction bid system, I doubt there are many bids of + or - 8 or more to allow naval units)

@4thmac:

THe situation:

Germany captures Congo from the Brits early in the game.  Then Berlin falls, with Congo still under the German flag.  Can Japan move a land unit into Congo to take control of that territory and claim it for income?

The Congo technically isn’t “liberated” when Japan moves in.  But Germany can’t do jack squat with it, so does it become idle until one of the Allies comes along?  That would seem crazy since the Allies would presumably benefit from leaving one of their territories under foreign control, because Japan could beat them back and earn income where the Germans could not.

LHTR 1.3 rulebook seems unclear on this issue.  Help!

No.

Germany retains control of the Congo.

Japan can only take the Congo if the Allies recapture the Congo, then Japan recaptures from them.
