On German aircraft - I buy mostly fighters as a standard rule, but I buy Tacs and/or Strats a turn before I know I’ll make a major assault. If my purchase forces my opponent to move from a territory I covet, I view it as a win, and think of the Tacs/Strats as investments for future assaults.

I’ve also come to view aircraft of all sorts, for all nations, as a capital investment - as important as a major naval purchase (cruiser or better). I do everything I can not to lose them, and I only sacrifice them if the payoff is equal to or higher than the loss.

I view any aircraft being shot down or lost as one of my razor sharp teeth being pulled out of my head… it hurts, and my bite has diminished. I don’t want to gum my adversary to death. It follows that seeing an opponent’s aircraft lost makes me feel happy inside, if lost fairly. I hate silly luck either for or against me.

Regarding pulling out of Russia - that came down to how much damage will the Russians inflict on their way out? I would have stayed if the battle was 50-50, or maybe even 60-40 to your advantage, but you built up such an impressive force that moving was the only option I felt I had. I did it for pure survival!

Ok - that’s all I’ve got in me for now - just spent two hours with my daughter doing homework and getting her to sleep.

Test summary from TripleA 08:08:24

PBEM game

What can I say, lost again in BW as allies, when do carriers take 2 hits? Seems confusing. Why can planes land on water and then during placing you place a carrier and the planes are saved/?

I have that. I meant what are the changes from Alpha+3 to Alpha+3.9 (i.e. the “Sealion changes”)?

Oooh. You have piqued my interest.

It seems like 1940 global is definately worth trying. I will try to keep my post frequency up but work is getting a little busy and we are moving as well.

Though as soon as I slice the head off of this Russian bear we go at it trench-style again! Deal?

As for 1940 Axis or allies?

1-3 I’m Allies you’re Axis
4-6 I’m Axis you’re Allies

DiceRolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (2)

Let the carnage begin!

Allies concede defeat, Germany took Leningrad in the first turn, a brilliant move and it threw the Russian game apart. Forss wins with Axis which is difficult in this BW.

But, I get my revenge now…  :evil:

I’d agree with your analysis.
The South Africa factory was interesting to me.
Feel free to let me know if you ever feel like a rematch sometime.

Good game!

Got finals so I won’t be able to get to this until after the 23rd.

Good game so far.  I wish I wouldn’t have bought that $30 IC in Korea- that money might have put me over the top in the Pacific.  Germany probably should’ve held out longer with the naval build-up in the Atlantic for a round or two- solely to help Japan keep US occupied.  I didn’t think of that til later.  I agree with a comment someone made that if the Axis win it will usually be the 6VC option on the Pacific side.

I wanna keep playing to see what Japan can muster.  Germany/Italy will play a stubborn defensive battle- I’ll give them 4-5 rounds to survive.  I’m wondering if that will be enough time for Japan to make out big in Asia and the Pacific.  They still got clout, but if they can’t secure the VC win by the time Germany/Italy go down then its lights out.

See ya on the 24th.

Yeah, part of that was me being stupid. I overlooked the fact that the major would be downgraded and slough off 14 damage. I figured USSR was going to die anyway and you would have spend the 20 ipc to get it back up and running again. Next time I’ll remember to keep a couple fighters in moscow if an axis power has bombers in range to try and shoot them down. Because yeah I usually go a little heavier on the infantry front.

GG and I’d be happy to play you anytime.

Trying figure this out…

I dunno if the normal theory testers on the forum have concluded anything about a G4 (but if you mean a Scotland landing first, I would guess that requires killing more UK navy on G1).  My gut tells me the G4 isn’t worth it though.

You can start a new thread.  Gotta think if there’s anything different I should try as Germany.
