Hi Mikeldalts
#1 would be correct. What the DD does is negate the Subs “First Strike”. So if no DD present and Sub gets a hit, the unit hit can’t fire back. If DD is present it can.
I’m sure Panther or someone else will explain it better. : )
Welcome to the Forum
Been meaning to post Gargantua’s “Research Facility”. It’s discussed here:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22164.30
I used it in conjunction with Der Kuenstler’s Tech tree and found it to be quite enjoyable. Basically each country starts with a Research Facility that produces 1 tech token per turn. The Facilities can be captured, bombed or destroyed depending on your preference.
Anyway a cool unit and one that will be added to “Global 40 HouseRules” which is discussed in the “Redesign” thread.
That is an EXCELLENT IDEA ! The board has so much to offer. People should never get bored with it, just play a different scenario!
My bro and I used to play Avalon hill’s Russian Campaign. It had a couple what if scenarios. One was where the “Bulge” was put on the Russians. Germans only got like two panzers and a couple infantry units. That game made me realize the Russians were the ones that beat the Germans.
Anyway would be cool
Triplea update. Added BM Vichy Rules and Marines and a couple other things. Separated Russia’s +3 NO for no Allies in original Russian Territory from the “Russian National Objectives” tech.
Also added a +1 PU boost every time you conquer a Mediterranean Island in “PacificIslandAndPU_Change”.
Fixed a couple things and some minor changes.
Will add the rest of the BM rules next.
@General Veers
Yea you can’t trigger Territory connections, so it would have to be a separate xml/mod. i don’t know how to do the graphics but I’ll try and get a xml for you to try before too long
bong hits and whiskey
prefer bourbon but enjoy canadien as well
hmmm… interesting question. I suppose you would want to jack the price of subs a little as well, but maybe not. Baron is pretty good with crunching numbers maybe he’ll chime in.
You could also get some bad ass looking cruisers from one of the custom sculpt makers. That might make them easier to distinguish.
Sorry… I got distracted by the bad idea t-shirt and forgot what I was gonna say
Couldn’t find the latest triple a update so here it is. Checked it a few times,but still might have missed something.
Don’t know if anyone plays this anymore and I’m not a top tier player, but FWIW I think this is the best Global version out there.
:)
will the old forum still be read only ?
yea I’d just stick with what you got for now. While using different means with the global game, having Germany and even Italy a chance to battle in the Atlantic is a good option imo.
What I haven’t done yet is try and steamroll Russia. That’ll be next test. : )
Good action SS and Karl as well for doing the drive : )
Good Action Here : )
Just wanna say that transitioning to a new program can be a bit frustrating at first. My limited experience is when triplea changed, but it’s pretty cool once you dial in. I’m a low IQ computer type, so should be easier for most of you.
One thing I want to point out is how you can make the screen look.
The first one is the default at the triplea site.
@SS:
…It took the Japan player on T1 some time to decide where he wanted to go now. Japan has many decisions now to make in Pacific and not sittin on his butt wackin it now ! :-D
heh heh probably had smoke coming out of his ears : ) Can be a real Mind F when trying new stuff sometimes.
Good action here : )
yea there were a lot of issues with the Singapore program. I just mentioned the tanks because that was something Churchill did. Obviously if he was dead he wouldn’t have been able to : )
Herman Wouk explains it pretty well in War and Remembrance
RE Singapore one thing Winnie couldn’t have done was this:
The Japanese invaded with over 200 tanks, while the British Army in Malaya did not have a single one. Indeed, Churchill himself had diverted some 350 older-model tanks from Malaya to the Soviet Union following the German invasion, as a show of good faith between the Allies. As these older infantry and cruiser tanks were more than a match for the light and medium Japanese tanks used in the invasion of Malaya, their presence could well have turned the tide of battle.

Doesn’t mean whoever was in charge couldn’t have, but if they were at peace with Germany, it seems doubtful.
it’s on triplea
listed on first page the set up here
probably more deaths and same outcome, but what’s a couple million more to stalin anyway
It was mentioned somewhere, probably multiple places, about having the non coastal Chinese TTs give -1 Movement to all non air M2 units. Seemed like a good idea. I called it “Primitive Terrain” and have found it to work well. Also gave China a AAgun in Szechwan ( oztea’s idea in 41 mod ) and another Flying Tiger in the Philippines.
Also made the majority of Soviet Asia primitive as well.
