    I went out for 6.8 mile run and now headed out to eat.  I know what I want to do with Ger.  I think I can make progress vs Rus, a turn or two behind ABH’s timetable.  The ANZAC fascination with Java is really upsetting the Emperor.  We’re running out of tt’s.


  • A big difference between standard and BM games is that the Allies can still win the game even after the fall of Moscow.  With the extra income from the new objectives, the Allies can build up sufficient forces in Persia to prevent the surviving Germans from marching all the way to Egypt.  Hence time is more important in this version than in the standard version.  Obviously one or two turns doesn’t necessarily mean a loss, but delays are more problematic for the Axis.

    I didn’t combat move my main army to Bel before doing combat.  How do you do the forum dice roll?

    I opened a second copy of G5 and made the move and combat to Bel and used the Marti die roll results for the first G5.  Then I edited the taking of Bel and removed the Rus troops and the 1 Ger casualty.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    Ger strat bomb raid didn’t show die rolls, just said my bombers rolled a 3 and a 4.  So I couldn’t tell if the AI added the 2 hit points to the die roll for each bomber.  Did it roll a 1 and added 2 to make 3?  Or did it roll 3 and not add the extra 2 points?  My rolls were low, but at least all the AA missed.

    :bice mdn:
    Replace “bice” with dice
    m is number of dice to roll
    n is how many sides do the dice have(6).

    I got the emails for the 1 and 2 for bombing raids

    Probably wont move tonight. So you took the a casualty from my hit in Bel, right?

    I wouldn’t have bombed those minors. I’m not sure why you did.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    I should have bombed them earlier.  Thought that you still might try to build there.  You might have built in Novg to prevent Ger from blitz into Karelia.  But Ger built the tt to allow an amphib landing in Kar.  I’ve been agonizing over whether Japan should try a low odds attack on Java or just sink the dd & tt.  Here’s where you make up for the loss of your BB.  It’s doubtful I can regain it this turn.  So ANZAC gets 4 PU and Japan loses 9 including the loss of a N.O.  Makes it worth a suicide attack by Japan.

    Woo hoo!  Didn’t take any hits in any battle.  Even took Java with 1 marine & air against 2 land defenders.  So no defenseless tt for you to attack.  One land unit attacks in Yun and Shan with air support succeeded against single defenders.
