Oh and not everyone is a big proponent of hitting sz97. About half the people in my play group don’t seem to do it and another defending fighter might help convince them to look elsewhere. Still no one in the playgroup has tried a G1 Barbarossa before. We’ve seen some J1s, but those don’t tend to work out since US doesn’t have to worry about moscow falling for some time.

Ok. I’ll give it a try. New tread started http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27068.0

To all my playaz…done with finals- went great btw.

Anyway, TripleA just released the stable version of G40 A3 a week ago…tried and it is waaaay easier than doing what we do here.  I believe this will be the new way we do PBF on this site now- using TripleA instead of ABattlemap.  Because of this I would like to start our games over, in Triple A…believe me its worth it.

Follow this link for the easy instructions, PM me when you are ready.  The whole process of downloading and test the mechanics and playing a test game only took about an hour.

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.

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”)?
