Anybody play scorched earth

@Gargantua:

I don’t know… did you look at your tournament game Jenn?  I wouldn’t call that “doing fine”

Eh, barring the insanity of JWW’s inability to hit a bomber with an AA Gun, America’s inability to defend it’s fleet when it clearly has superior odds (defined as sinking what should have been left with her bombers and losing only one bomber)…I don’t think it is overly bad.

America + Russia > Japan
England = Germany + Italy income (last round Germany + Italy edged ahead of England.  Factors in a continued 15-20 IPC damage to Germany each round, he’s not hitting bombers anyway.)

Yes, the Japanese fleet is in the Med…and yes, the Japanese fleet in the Pacific should have been gone, but otherwise, it’s not THAT bad.

@docfav7:

Global is going to be the way to go.  No doubt.  However, if time is a concern, Spring 1942 is still a great option.  We play this on Monday nights.  A couple of things though.  GET RID OF THE BOARD!  Download IL’s map and get it printed somewhere.  This is a must.  #2 get an extra set of money.  Poker chips, old style money, whatever.  Those 2 things alone make 1942 version worth playing.

Try it first. So many people dis the '42 board, when it is perfectly playable. Definitely try playing on it and see if you like it before spending a bunch of money to get a new one printed.

@Dylan:

Whoever voted the last one is on crack!

I thought it might be interesting if I made that a poll choice, and sure enough, someone picked it  :-)

@Funcioneta:

Because winning only because of the setup is even worst than winning only because of the dice  :wink: It’s simply too boring playing axis (because their huge advantage), and even if I want win as all the people, I also want have fun

There is something about balance that everyone is wrong about, except you  :roll:

Can you believe that I don’t think you really mean what you’re saying?

If the bid needed to balance AA50 41 is more than revised, then you would win almost every game, there is no one who will play revised w/o bids.

Personally I’d like to win every game I play, but you don’t like to win  :roll:

If you really are serious with this, you also think that all the other PBF players on aa.org would like to lose all the games they play against you, b/c they play allies w/o bids?

I’m close to accusing you of trolling……

nope, never have.

I Love Stalingrad and old Sam Peckinpah’s “I will show you where the Cross of Iron Grows”.  STEINEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!

Sent PM to Umgar.

More than 10, I have about 7 games going on at the moment.
