Well, you’ve done war in the pacific and war in the east, how about war in the west? I hear the air campaign management is amazing.

Go back to Paradox games, play HOI4 without automation and accidentally nuke Paris or something.

May I politely suggest some form of Goons vs. AI game to head off the recriminations that seem to come from Goons vs. Goons games? Or at least Group of Goons vs. Single Goon games?

Grey Hunter, you must continue so my son is old enough to read your history. My son is 01. As an alternate plan, you son must continue it for you.

Yeah "Let's All Play a CM campaign" sounds cool, plus iirc unit attrition is carried over and new ones get rotated in and out so there's a reason not to BANZAI DEATH CHARGE MAXIMUM ELAN while also meaning we don't get hosed because we had one crap mission

Are they still doing Goon newbie Dominions games? I want to know what pretender chases would make a good Croctopus.

Take that you bugger. Whoo, can be blow something up now? KABOOM! That's going to be a big repair bill! We sink some ships on the way out. We lose some patrol boats. We hit a destroyer. Then smash them. We continue to level the place. We're doing some dice damage at the moment. They are losing so many ships.

... How many planes are there at Port Moresby?! That's like over two hundred damaged.

Cm campaigns are fun. Apart from the ones you can just end mission straight away and progress the campaign.

I doub t that, I don't own TOAWIII. though I have thought about picking it up. A MP LP of something would be interesting though, so people can see I'm only good a trouncing poor dumb AI's.... any challengers and games? I should be able to commit to one game, as long as its accepted my turns will be random if the kid does another month of 4am wakes.....

The US get strategic VP from bombing Japan, the Japanese get them from bombing Australia, the US or (maybe) India. Australia starts with very few fighters, so one PBEM tactic is to take some of the islands off the east coast of Australia and bomb the cities and resources in the first couple months, you can usually get a lot of VP for little risk.

I'd like to see a new PDX mega campaign with Stellaris as the space part and maybe HoI4 if it works. What happened in the last LP that Hoi3 was unusuable?

Yeah, I voted Stellaris but a 'victor of WW 2 takes to the stars" sounds neat.

Is the damaged/kill ratio supposed to be like that on that airfield bombardment? Or is it just fog of war? I guess planes on the ground aren't in motion and not fueled so that would help survivability. Actually that would make a lot of sense. End up with a bunch of shrapnel holes but in the end it's nbd.

Yup. Most air-to-air or flak kills represent crippled planes crashing rather than planes being outright destroyed midair. Planes that make it to base get repaired, so planes that are shot up on the ground might be unairworthy, but reparable.

Whatever game is played, a part of me wants to see game mechanics/strategy exploited in interesting ways- loved hearing about how Japanese invasions of the US could go, and that strategy of the US coming in from the north on Japan rather than island hopping. *edit* \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ DesperateDan fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jul 12, 2018 |
