[jeffk3510]

Wow.

[Bullwinkle58]

Why?

(Who's on first.) [;)]

[JocMeister]

OMG! [X(]

I´ll add this to the list of reasons why I will never play without stacking limits again! [:D]

[Miller]

I don't want to come across as being boastful, we all know the Allies are toast in China and my opponent is pretty new to the game.

He sent everything to Chengtu for the last stand and it took months of continuous bombing and deliberate attacks to eventually take the base. Its a standard scn one game and the date is August 43.

[Canoerebel]

When your opponent is 89 years old, with wrinkles and sparse hair, he'll still remember this.

[dr.hal]

What about stacking limits???

[Canoerebel]

Scenario 1 doesn't have stacking limits.

[ny59giants]

Scenario 1 doesn't have stacking limits.

Incorrect. Any game can be changed over to include stacking limits. My Scenario 2 game did so in early '43. You just go to DBB website to get the PWHEX files that add stacking limits. They are available for both stock and extended maps.

[Canoerebel]

Okay, but no stacking limits in this particular game.

[crsutton]

Do you hold Chungking? If not, you know where most of those units will show up again in 30 days. But a nice coup. Your opponent could use a little advice....

So I see! Interesting. This adds a whole new level of surrealism to the game then! I'm using the stacking limits and find it great and very challenging. Keeping a hex close to the limit without going over takes practice. But in truth, the game is an abstraction of "reality" and as such increasing or decreasing that abstraction is a matter of taste.

[Cribtop]

...It's full of stars! [X(]

How many VPs for that?

[Chickenboy]

4542 VPs by my reckoning...[X(]

Did that 'auto-vic' ya' Miller?

In ST: Generations, what was Kirk's final line as he was croaking off?

ETA: It was, "It was fun....Oh my..."

[linrom]

You have to ask yourself "how is possible to design a game with such farcical outcome?" How is it possible to move 6 Inf Div from Manchuko and 2 Tank Div in 1943 and send 17 other divisions based all over China without causing severe garrison and manpower issues elsewhere.

Why, just send all these 25 divisions to walk all over India and Australasia? One could win the war of "silly VPs" without bothering with sea war and USA.

[Chickenboy]

Meh. Once the decision has been made to apply VPs to certain values-infantry squad, ships, airplanes and bases-then the myriad outcomes are out of the hands of the game designers. After all, one could win the war by the farsical outcome of an opponent scuttling all of their ships simultaneously. That's not the players fault if his opponent does something silly like that.

In this case, it was beyond silly for the OP's opponent to so stack that hex with Chinese units. He got what he had coming to him with the legendary defeat.

You can't scuttle non-damaged ships. But I get your point.
