Yes, pretty much that. It is a must for one country of each side to rush, but after that it has strongly diminishing returns, as the highest S&I of each side counters ALL S&I of the other afaik.

New ELO:

Umeu(Axis) vs Bavre (Allies)

...
I still think this is an interesting discussion, though you probably had it many times. What did you think of the idea to fall back constantly but keeping the army in tact? I feel like it would be very hard and time consuming for Germany to force a surrender on Russia that way, but perhaps I ...

Since Umeu specifically asked me to, here are a few thoughts on the game:

(@Umeu)

The "Axis units roll over very sound defensive positions" thing you mentioned several times is actually completely normal, at least at the height of their power and with their A-team. High rating max xp HQ ...

Would you be interested in a mirror match in one of the later scenarios (like Citadel)?

Exactly, the experience value gets divided by 3, but not the Attack Type Value.

1,11*(4+0/3) - (0,53*(0/3+0+0)) = 1,11*4 - 0,53*0 = 4,44 - 0 = 4,44 (which gets rounded down to 4)

The +-1 only gets applied after the prediction, so the defender will lose 3-5 points.

Great! Just host what side you fancy (or a mirror) and pm me the password.

Gonna jump the ship here and ask whether you want to play Ludendorf Offensive? No house rules, haven't played SC WW1 in a while, want to refresh my memory :D


Certainly, but let me ask you first: have you played the scenario before? Because it's very different from Call to Arms and I know from ...

Hi Lucca,

I'd be interested in Call to arms or Luddendorf Offensive, don't care about side either. So just host what you fancy and pm me the password. In case you want any houserules please include them in the pm.

Jackmck (Allies) vs Bavre (Axis) rerematch, again same sides.

A really persistent opponent, I must say. So Fritz get ze Panzer, here we go again...

ELO concluded:

Bavre(Axis) defeats Jackmck (Allies) as game timed out.

I am not too clear on how MPPs travel across such distances.

Every country that has no convoy for a side gives its money automatically without any requirements to this side.
Example:
Burma has a convoy for Japs, but not the Allies. So Japs need to bring the convoy home, Allies get the ...

If a Westcoast invasion at least halfway succeeds, it does a ton of NM and economic damage.
D-Day would be pushed far back only by the task of clearing California/Hawaii alone. Imho one of the best ways to give the Reich the time it needs in the east.

I'd like to refer you to

or any other of the dozend+ threads where all this was analyzed in extreme detail. Mechanics are the same for different games.

Hi Bavre,
Great to have you on board! Italy declared war on 1940-02-02 before the Germans reached 2 Hexes from Paris.
...


Hm, very odd. There are triggers in the Benelux too, but 2 hexes from Paris is for me always the one that brings them in.

Also overstrength Italians lol, not something you ...

Hi Redrum68! Nice to know that you are around! :D
I am not sure. This happens every time that I play with the Germans. It suddenly jumps from 80% to 100% in a single turn. Not that I wanted to declare war so early... It cost me an Italian sub!

...


Was this maybe the turn you moved a unit ...

I think, I found a bug:
Please check the stats of the german train (soft atk & def)

Ok, got it.
Give me a day or two to familiarize myself with it. Btw, the game you're hosting online still seems to be the old version.

Btw, fancy a rematch anytime in the future? Of course with tons of gamey moves on my part!


Yes Bavre, you're right again, about being gamey. Checked my Gold Records, on our other game:

....


For the third and final time: I meant Pete in the post not you. Are you deliberately ...

That's not how this works I'm afraid. When you modify the game, it is only available for you in single player. For multiplayer both sides need to have the same mods installed, otherwise the game can't be selected. Those are the red games you'll sometimes see in the lobby.
