Tirano (X) Vs. Ichabod (L+17)

[Ichabod]

Scrambles, OOL?

[Ichabod]

@Tirano:

Well the reason is because with a J1/2 I have found it is vital for the US to spend HEAVY in the Pacific, so much so that I would not go for a neutral crush unless it was THE ONLY landing spot.  Therefore in an early Jdow I would likely not try a neutral crush in a �real� game which is what I�m play-Testing for.  And while a late Jdow is suboptimal for Japan, it is not always so for the axis as a whole and I see more and more late jdows in G40.Â

As for the bid, that seems like a weird restriction on no buying factories/airbases.  It doesn�t apply to this game so no problem, but seeing as most of time saved $$ would go to UK it is weird since it is not uncommon to see a UK1 buy of a IC in Egypt or Airbase in Gibraltar.Â

Start the game with the 19 bid if you will, do an early Jdow if you wish but I will likely not try my neutral crush strategy.

I just don’t think bid money should be used for bases. I guess buying non-base type stuff with bid money is a work around and I’m ok with that. So, like the UK could bid a fighter to Scotland which frees up 10 IPCs towards an IC or base somewhere while still add defense to London. It’s not weird too me. And besides, there was enough consensus to at least address bid money being spent on bases or factories it in the league rules to a certain degree.

As far as the late Japan DOW goes, it let’s India stack up which makes it really difficult for Japan to get the Victory City win. Blowing through China doesn’t win the game for Japan. I don’t like to bring Japan into the war any later than turn 2. But I will setup for a J3 or J4 DOW because I get your explanation. Please try out your neutral crush gambit strategy. Also, late Japan DOWs like turn 3 are mostly a BM3 thing because of the Chinese insurgency change. I think if you did a poll for 40.2, J2 DOWs, than J1 DOWs would get the most votes. J3 or J4 would be last.

[Tirano]

I agree that J3/4 is less popular than J1/J2 but it is not unviable.  As for India It just means that you are proboably going to hit them like round 6/7 rather than as early as 3 or 4.

[Tirano]

Max scramble both, British fighters taken last. You forgot my sub in 91, I will edit it in on my turn.

[Ichabod]

@Tirano:

I’ll add it. Yes forgot. I’ll have to re-adjust my initial turn…so I’ll ask for OOL again. I wouldn’t attack a cruiser and a sub with a lone sub.

No prob I understand the adjustment.  Scramble 111 with Fighter as the last casualty.

France rolled well…UK sucked.

I wish it was the other way around…rather have my mechs and artillery in Paris than all of my ships…same TUV for same TUV amount.

[Tirano]

Wow what a G1.  France went great and only one German sub was killed.

[Ichabod]

@Tirano:

Wow what a G1.  France went great and only one German sub was killed.

Exactly. It was really not a good G1. Sub optimal for sure. It’s easy for the UK to kill the capital ship and then Germany is just left with 2 subs…and only 6 tanks on Paris…woopty do.

[Tirano]

I also suspect you were attempting to strafe Yugo but killed it first round.

@Tirano:

I also suspect you were attempting to strafe Yugo but killed it first round.

Nope. I hit Yugo like I did almost every game and capture it. I don’t leave too much for Italy because in my games Italy is usually struggling just to defend it’s own capital.
