I guess six games (with vanilla). Not recommended.
I will when I play mostly have 2-3, but the ideal is only to play one. Especially when playing TRP mod, as turns get time consuming in 41 and onwards.


calcwerc, six is good! Help me out though. What means:

• vanilla
• the TRP mod

This ...

If you want to win as Allies, you must keep the USSR in the game.

The way to do that is build as many units as possible and retreat, do not be concerned with losing capitals.

Use the UK and USA to help build minimum corps size units, preserve those units and USSR will never surrender ...

Thanks calcwec. That’s beautifully clear & very helpful.

Wanna say I had 8 games going at once.
Nothing else to do.

Was losing at a 80%+ clip.
Didn't care, always wanted a turn to play.

Did you find it difficult to remember your plans, or even short term tactical ideas, in these games?

I mean, most games played simultaneously. I find I can manage 2. When my son condescended to play me it was 3. 2 is good though. Shout out to Redmonkey & Old_ Shane for the free lessons, painful but fun.

However, back to the question: how many games are you playing at once? What’s your record?

New game:

Old Shane (axis) v wevilc (allies)

Hope springs eternal.

If the Arctic convoys are being killed - just turn them off and keep the MPPs for the UK.

If India is under attack - turn the convoy off to max out the funds.

Cunning! I’ve been wasting MPPs by the bucket load.

Result

Old_Shane (axis) -v- wevilc (allies) - win for axis.

Learned a lot, but not enough. Well played Shane.

two tips:
learn to link HQs for better supply (if you are not aware of this yet)
strategic bombers are the most powerful unit for the allies. you must que them for US before they enter war to get at least 3, UK has 2 more. thats 10 attacks each turn to kill axis supply in the region you invade. or ...

Yes - it's always been there.

Go into the Convoy Map. Click on the source - eg India. You'll see the percentage of national income that is being shipped. This can be adjusted using the up & down arrows.

USA convoys to the UK and UK convoys to the USSR can be adjusted in a similar way.


Thanks ...

Browsing the Strategy Guide I came across the suggestion that India might want to halt the flow of MPPs to GB & use them for itself. Is this actually possible? Is there a function that lets you adjust foreign aid? Does it apply only to India or to all convoy routes? If so, where is it? Sounds too ...

He has Pearl, so that must be it. Thanks. Mystery solved.

I’m getting my customary beating from Redmonkey & a puzzle has arisen. Nothing is coming through Vladivostok. He’s not blockading the port, Japan is not at war with Russia. It’s Nov 42.

WTH is going on?

New ELO game

CRW1418 (me, Allies) v Old Shane (Axis)

Glutton for punishment, after another gruesome defeat, I’m game for another try & Shane is gracious in accepting the challenge.

I can’t send PMs. I get logged out when I hit send. Anybody else have this? Is there a fix?

Wait, what? Saying yes to the Irish ports is a bad idea? Why?

you don't need them, they are only 5 strength max so you can't even fully repair a ship with it. But the main reason is that it pisses off the USA, so they have less income, which is very bad ...

I’m back in the market looking for a game. Please read my 1st post above & note:

• I don’t mind which side I play
• my time zone is Amsterdam (the Netherlands) which is GMT+1
• in your PM please tell me a little about yourself & your game experience.

I bought an airship. American. A snip at 75 MPPs. Spotting range 10 hexes. May appear in the skies over Italy. Will it be shot down? Should I arrange for fighter escort? Who has experience of this game-changing weapon?

I like them and usually use them in the Pacific for recon.
They definitely ...
