Hi Ben

In case you want to play online you can with triplea :)

Have a half dozen of us that do, if you want to join the fun :)

Hi Barnee,

Thanks ! I will look into that in the next few days :)

Problem: One side thinks they are losing quite bad, doesn’t see a path to victory but feels bad quitting early. Other side would like to keep playing also.

Solutions: The Surrender Bid!

Players pick a number of victory cities/capitals that will decide a victory
(if not decided at game beginning)

Players bid how many rounds they will need to achieve that victory.

Say the Axis want to surrender, and it is a total victory Game.
The axis player offers a bid “If I control the Allies, I can get total victory in 6 more rounds”
The allied player (V) can accept OR reverse the rolls. (bidding the same)
The surrendering player must bid a lower number of rounds.
Keep bidding until one side accepts

If the Surrendering player wins the 2nd part of the game, it is a tie, if the Victor player wins the 2nd leg they achieve a double victory.

@SMichael23 Its not a solution if you magically give Italy this territory. If you want to model a problem, first get the facts straight with some research, then go into balancing it.

Aside from 1 ipc and 1 infantry, just increase Italy +1 and balance out the additional forces for both sides…

China is a road apple and a basket case. Japan needs to get thru that mess asap or they have no chance… If you hold back an already weak Japan in 42.2 you create a KJF scenario in every game.

Add italy fine, leave china alone and move the German air force out of UKR, give a bomber to Russia. Minor tweeks, then playtest

mostly good ideas, i would add axis minor allies with substitutions

@oztea is there a final version of the rules? Is the game balanced or allied advantage?

Wouldn’t be enough. The Japanese could easily take all three of those islands on Japan 2, which means that the allies will only collect the money for one Turn. $11 in the pockets of UK Pacific is virtually useless in comparison to a $50-$60 Bid.

@The-Captain

Sweet!
