Thanks, yes, the counter resets as minefields are removed by the mine layer. No idea if a minefield that is destroyed by enemy action does it tho.

With the 10 mines in total if you lay a minefield and then your engineers remove it does the total fielded drop? So I have 10, I remove 1 so I have 9, may I lay another or does the old total remain?

Thank you
We are currently in Normandy and will get back to this

We stopped the game at turn 73. The US held Guadalcanal and Tulagi, the Japs everything else. We stopped because both of us thought it was very unlikely that either of us could achieve the objectives without a substantial increase in RPs and CPs. The Japanese perspective The Good Points: Initial com...

We are playing this now. Good scenario but we both think there are not enough supply ships for an island hopping campaign. Can you recycle a limited number perhaps?

Thanks
We will play asap

2 vs 2 would be good (in fact on all your scenarios) mainly because there are 4 of us that play together on OOB

Looks interesting, thanks.
Is this 1 vs 1? If so any chance of 2 vs 2 please?

Both the Japs and Allied deployed armour on the Kakoda Trail in your scenario.
Not sure how you make a road impassable to anything but infantry but I'm up for that.
There were no Spits in the historical Kakoda campaign and i wasn't complaining; just pointing it out..

By 60 the Japs had won the battle of the Coral Sea and the US Navy was sunk. I think they were just about to take the objective. On the Kokoda trail they were flanked in the hills to the south of the trail in the final section. To their front the allies had moved up armour blocking progress, meanwhi...

Interested

Sorry for the delay in reply No, not a vid game scenario designer, done more than i can remember for tabletop games though. I think your 80/20 chance of the Japs winning is good, just needs a tad more balancing. Heres the end data from our last game: Turn 86 Japanese RPs 170 Land CP 17 Naval CP 91 A...

Kakoda thoughts after game 3 Now played as Japs 3 consecutive times against the same opponent; never won as the Japanese. We are pretty evenly matched players. The last game was the most educational played with the no land mines option. No land mines seems to work as it gives a more open game. I thi...

Think we are about turn 65 with the new version. I'll post a full report when its over but so far the Japs won the Battle of the Coral Sea, sank every US ship and took the land objective; I think that was around turn 40. So the Japs went round the headland towards Port Moresby and there was....anoth...

I was thinking more of changing some cliff hexes to wire/mine hexes that can be cleared. If you insert a clear hex in a string of wire/mines it allows the Germans to land something and attepnt beach clerances. Conversly it allows the Brits to defend possible clear landing hexes. Let me give the new ...

You are very kind, thank you. It may be worth building some coastal defences on the game map? There is no single map of all of them in 1940 so you would need to make educated guesses on location qn with regard to timeline/game balance. This is from a simple Google search of ‘beach defences England 1...

Thanks, I'll give it a go

Thanks, will give the new ideas a try but bookeeping may let me down....

If the new stuff does not work I'd like a no limit game but open more of the coastline to landings.

I'm finding it pretty tough as the Japanese so its mirroring history. Perhaps we can have a game when I've finished the current one I'm playing

Thnaks....currently getting the opinions of various opponents regarding your thoughts.
