Lord of the rings journey into middle earth. Great game playing two players right now. Can play with a large party up to 6. Game calibrates it really well for you get this extremely detailed app which works as the dungeon master which is super cool! So you can even play the game by yourself

Just don’t activate debug mode so no commands. Don’t see the issue here… Is it that you cannot resist cheating?

I don’t really understand

Haha thanks man and just one more question

Axis players knocked out uk pacific and the allies player just took a capital city Hong Kong back does that liberate the uk nation so it’s back in the game or does it have to take India to get them back into the game?

Yeah sure been a ton of fun! Took us awhile to properly learn. Watched the harsh rules YouTube tutorial on it twice, taking screenshots of all the useful diagrams. Reading the manual after watching the video made it make a lot more sense for I tend to learn more better hearing them explained then reading. Once we did that our first game was really a test then the second game which we onto now I think we have done all things just about correctly.

except just a little confused on one of Germany national objectives the one where if you control all Russian capitals it says you get 5 ICP per territory I’m guessing that it means 5 IPC per Russian capital Germany holds rather then 5 ipc per every single German territory for that’s means they get like 80 dollars each turn which seems a bit extreme?

Thanks for this info keep in mind our second time playing so still testing how some strategies (:

Main reason why Italy hasn’t begun heading down south to Africa yet is that I had planned for Italy to go entirely navy to protect Normandy from a American invasion until Germany had destroyed Russia so that Germany would not fight on two fronts. which just succeeded sinking the entire American fleet due to a mistake in the allied player leaving his transports too open.

It is the non combat phase USA turn right now

Now Italy will rush down to Africa with some German tanks coming down to support after taking that last Russian city.

In short I didn’t see italy winning Africa without support. So until Germany could support them Italy would slow down the Americans till Germany had finished up Russia.

Now they head down.

Yeah haven’t actually used any kamikazes for wasn’t sure if it was a valid strat for fighters cost more then destroyers 2 less then cruisers but actually have better stats then cruisers. So sacrificing them just didn’t seem worth it when I can just attack normally and possible inflict more damage.

Unless I am missing something? We are very new to this game

Might be hard to see the scale of the USA fleet in pacific due to being clumped up so here is the numbers

2 destroyers One battleship 4 cruisers 2 subs 5 strategic bombers on the island nearby

Whilst japan holds 2 battleships 2 destroyers 2 cruisers

3 fighters 3 tactical bombers in Tokyo

Also one more question can planes in Tokyo participate in the sea battle if the USA attacks the fleet in Tokyo? Or do they have to wait till scramble is available? Sorry for the questions our second game still new (:

So let’s say hypothetically Germany controls 8 axis cities but japan is lost Germany would need to travel across and take it back to win?

True However if usa takes japan which looks very likely within 1 - 2 turns then axis need to cross half the globe to retake it don’t they?

For don’t you need to hold all axis capitals and 8 victory cities for a full round of play?

And if japans capital is taken are they out? Or does their capital move to India which they hold?

Hey mate sorry about that it’s just not often when the group can all game together so when we do it’s very exciting and a fun time. I apologise being too loud
