That sucks. but really it’s the field commanders (i.e. the dice) fault and not yours. Not every battle is meant to be won even if the odds are in your favor.
I personaly dislike low luck except for solo play trying out strategies, but if you hate wild swings in luck it might be your thing
Yikes! that’s 16 or so turns to get to the end of 1945. I don’t have that kind of endurance. 10 turns is considered a long game with my group.
I hear you with the whole RROD thing. Mine died recently but I’m thankfull microsoft is repairing them for free. I’m relieved this didn’t happen in April though. That would have pissed me off.
I saw it yesterday at American Eagle and almost picked it up for $40. Though I wanted to look it up Board Game Geek first. Unfortunatly there isn’t a entry for this game at BGG which I think is a shame.
As some might know, Battlestations Midway is one of my most favorite Xbox 360 games ever. Well, this April the sequel comes out and I would love to see some people from this board in the game playing with me. Here’s a trailer for the game.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUR229x-Apo
Or you can have the board framed. That way you can display it on the wall for all to see, plus it will be under glass so it wont warp or stain. This is my plan once I get some time.
You’re right, I don’t think Russia and Germany can Fall to any sort of allied attack. Thats why the allied victory conditions are for it to only stop Axis from cliaiming Africa Asia before USA creates a Atom Bomb (by turn X) and forces a treaty/surrender.
As it was, the only ground Axis had gained by turn 4 was Persia, Trans Jordan and 1 territory in China It had lost Libiya. If you had asked my opponet who was Axis, he would say my bid was already high.
Yup, it’s pretty standard for the Japan player to send transports into Africa along with neutering China. It’s too bad the Germans have generaly started to fall apart at this point (In the games I’ve played). Occasionaly Alaska goes too but I’ve yet too see a winning attack on America mainland.
So wait. Are you assuming I’m ignoring Japan or just not using them effectivly.
Question. Is it possible for Germany to still be a threat to Russia (or anyone) after turn four?
Well we all take turns being Axis. It’s basicly the same three people I’ve played these games out, so it’s hard to say if our Axis game needs work.I’ve read the posts on Germany moves but in the end the games all end the same. Germany gets right up next to Russia but because the Allies are nipping on Germanys butt, it’s unable to keep a front going and ultimatly fails at Russias doorstep. And if Germany actually gets Russia Allies are able to take Germany same round.
Would love to expand my play sessions with more people to see new styles of play strategy.
Maybe you’re Allied players need some practice? :P
