@GuamSolo I can’t believe your 2 infantry rolled 2 hits in the PI! It’s those super defenders in Bataan!

Thanks for posting a screen shot!

@barnee said in [Global 1940] Reasons for a cruiser.:

Cool idea adding units when you take something over. It does seem like a lot to keep track of. Do you get the inf and the airfield and naval gun or just your choice of one ?

For now we have bonuses going up each island victory + units added for each victory. So first victory is just naval gun, then the second time you take (or retake) an island you place a naval gun and and infantry. You don’t have to choose. We haven’t payed it yet. Probably should’ve done that before I posted it here.

I do wonder if it is too much to give, but if the incentive is there then maybe they’ll go for it. I didn’t want to make another group of smaller money islands. My thought was to replicate the one island battle at a time as the navy moved across the ocean. I would also like to see the island become bases for aircraft to threaten fleets wanting to pass by.

Airfields stay on the island once built. If you conquer an island that has one then you take it over.

We will play test it in two weeks. I’ll post how it went.

@GuamSolo I lost another bomber in air raids…I believe your AA gunners have 20/20 vision.:confounded:

@crockett36 Good restatement of original thoughts in this thread. I’ve enjoyed everyone’s input. This thread has weaved and wandered off the beaten path sometimes. I know there’s been some varied opinions expressed here, but I think what you lay out is pretty sound.

I like how @crockett36 you affirm the Axis begin with a better footing as I find that very true in TippleA games vs. AI. I’ve been playing quite a few games in the last month as I finally got the game working on my Mac. When I am the Axis the game is over rounds 8-10, but as the Allies it is a longer game.

No rush. Seriously, you’ve been patient with me. And I’ve always got lots of irons in the fire to keep me busy.

@crockett36 Thanks - fun to hear how all the discussions in this thread are playing out. Did you open with Taranto, or stack in sz 92?

@crockett36 Sounds good - would those be YG’s newest VC’s? Or have they changed at all? I know he’s getting things in order for his next tournament.

@crockett36 Lol - yes! So many Biblical references can be made. I was thinking more like the loaves and fishes: stretching your limited resources to feed the multitude of your hungry ambition.

@crockett36 Well that makes sense. If you were inviting Sea Lion I certainly walked into that. I think your experiments were good ones, but agree that too many in one game is “A Bridge Too Far” – If I can steal that phrase. One thing is for sure, with multiple experiments going on I had a hard time figuring out your tactics and how to respond.

@crockett36 Careful - Japanese code breakers intercepting this communication. If I read that the water distillation plant has broken down at a location code named AF–I’m not falling for it.

@crockett36 It would be fun to attend a tournament and see how everyone plays. Everyone can’t be too orthodox I imagine. It would be too predictable then.

@crockett36 I’ve thought about that too - going back and playing the game vs. AI. But the AI always seems at some point to do something most humans wouldn’t and the results are hard to evaluate. The AI (almost) never takes risks, which is unlike human game play.

@crockett36 no worries - we should be using the updated version of TripleA now, correct?

@crockett36 No worries
