Ha no worries! Bit surprising to learn others prefer auxiliary but takes all kinds. Non-core but in a counterfactual type scenario then... Although now that I think of it, my ideal situation where the U.S. allies with Japan against Germany and the Soviets (Hitler choked on a pretzel and Rommel ...

Surely a step in the right direction. It's a map with potential of course, just needs some adjustment. Well that's what us playtesters are for after all.

Any thoughts on future maps with core rather than auxilliary units? Been a while since I've seen one of yours with that, possibly going all the ...

Appreciated! I'm not too bothered by the Soviets having destoyers, at a minimum I have to take a few more turns and get a feel for the size of the German fleet after all. If it's large enough the Soviets will need those destroyers. The 50 rps per turn for the Axis does feel small. My thinking in ...

Good good. Anything similar for the Soviets? Say an Axis hex that ends the game if it gets taken, something far enough back that its capture would signify no real point continuing.

Someone been very busy I see :) Joined one of the Finland games so should be interesting. Funny that you beat me to the punch by adding Axis artillery to the Hungary game, I kept meaning to suggest that but never got around to it. Great minds think alike I guess.

Are the objectives for the Finland ...

You mean this?

It's in the first post but there's not a map image accompanying it so it kinda gets hidden by the other stuff. So far at least there's just the 1 vs 1 version. Have ...

Thanks for the heads up and hope everything is well. If I'm not doing my turns it's probably because I'm a zombie, in which case bring me back when the singularity happens

Joined the 1.7. Ideally there'd be four games going to test different positions, or at least two anyway, but probably not enough players for that. I'm getting a sense Hungary has the Soviets being overpowered although it's only a sense for now, need more turns for confirmation. And yet I kind of ...

Although the naval mode has an interesting mechanic in that mobility offers protection it isn't as elaborate as ground combat, so I understand how it's a bit overshadowed. I'm happy if it's simply present, doesn't need to take a central role exactly.

If it's any consolation, I'm a disaster at the whole "real life" business :P But in two of the games we're allies so it's all good. Seems like we have three of the four players needed now so things likely to start pretty soon.

Thinking out loud in terms of future games, since you have a bit more ...

Don't have a ton of other games going on at the moment, and I grow weary of being wrecked in Darkest Dungeon / Project Zomboid / Slay the Spire, so I signed up for all four. Rather good that I get to try out all four different sides as that's the ideal way to weigh a map.

In the latest scenario updates I have used AI in refined searchs like "list Chinese airbases/locations in 1937 with air unit names/types" for Japanese/Chinese war and something similar for Dragoon.
I am very happy with the results so far in my never-ending-story of scenario updates.

As of this ...

I felt like the earlier iterations of Operation Dragoon ended a bit early, so nice to approach things from the other side and see how they work out. Never too soon to implement new ideas I guess.

Not to be sour grapes as I did quite enjoy the recent version of Tarawa 2 vs 2, but there seemed to be an issue with the Japanese victory condition? If I remember correctly, it said I needed to retain at least one objective to win. My side retained at least three, however at the conclusion were told ...

The man in the High Castle :D

The book clearly :) Not the TV series.


Ugh, I have so many feelings about the tv series and none of them good. It hurts all the more because of how you actually had a pretty talented cast being utterly squandered. Filmed in my part of the world too, which is ...

Yeah Parreigo did a pretty definitive take on the Eastern front, The Russian Campaign. I think his earlier versions are a bit more balanced however, as it is now the Soviets can basically just turtle and have a good chance of winning. Still wishing there was a counterfactual type multiplayer map in ...

Both Dragoon and Nord seemed reasonable enough to me, but there's always room for improvement so no complaints!

Joined Tarawa 1.3, ought to be interesting. I'm toying with giving Dragoon a try as well in a bit, depending on how quickly my other games wrap up.

If we ever manage to finish the Overlord game with me as the UK, it'll definitely be the first time I save it at the end. It's that good. It's unbalanced but there's a place for unbalanced maps. If someone is new to multiplayer, have them try playing as the Axis against someone with experience. I ...

Goes both ways, testing scenarios is fun too after all :) It took me a bit of time to figure out the best approach for Overlord but once I got a handle on how to play (gotta be super defensive and cautious as the allies) it's amazingly fun. Definitely planning another go at Tarawa, possible some ...
