Although, as it happens, I did get diced somewhat badly – statistically, that should have been somewhat closer. I also probably should have sent the destroyer ahead of the main fleet to block, and taken my chances with CA, BB, ftr against your 3 scrambling fighters. Oh, well – live and learn! I honestly didn’t even contemplate the possibility that I might have to make a G2 London attack; I’m sure from now on that’ll be one of the many things to think about for me in the opening.

I’ve never seen the G2 Sea lion either. Interesting that it’s even possible with only 1TT bought G1.

The battle went against you when it was more likely to go with you but it was hardly a radical outlier. 64% means 36% chance of lose/draw. Not exactly improbable.

[Argothair]

Yeah, I wouldn’t even bother complaining about a 36% chance, but I thought I had less than a 10% chance of leaving you with more than one plane. I took a closer look at the numbers, and it’s actually a very swingy battle: whoever wins it tends to win big. Shrug – now I know.

I think the G2 sea lion was the result of a perfect storm – the German planes rolled well on G1, you moved your mech to Ireland (haven’t seen that before – is it useful?), the german subs won in canada, your entire navy went south, and you brought 2 infantry down to Morocco from England. I might switch up my standard G1 opening a little bit to take advantage of the possible G2 threat in future games – maybe move one tank from Poland back to West Germany so I can use it in the assault on London without having to buy one. I dunno; I’m not sure how often this kind of situation would really pop up.

Anyway, we’re in J2 combat. Scramble in Guam?

[simon33]

I’ll scramble.

The mech to Ireland allows a second landing spot for US bombers in the event of a sea lion. That’s the theory anyway.

@Karl7 @taamvan Hey, glad you could stop by! :-)

And, yes, what a crazy game so far. I didn’t even know ANZAC could land planes on Java the same turn they activate it, and I don’t think simon33 saw the Sea Lion coming. Frankly, I didn’t see the Sea Lion coming until I started planning out my G2 turn.

No, not going to be a long game. Live fast, die young! Learn quickly, then surrender and start a new game. I’m learning a lot. I have a lot to learn. It works out. :-)

[taamvan]

Funny, the “friendly dutch” was one of the best pieces of insight I got from reading this site…and long-time players at our last club game on Saturday also debated it… Do you have to activate (liberate) the island at all…cant you just land there without liberating it? Geez…

Allies, including USA, can land planes while they’re still Dutch. So long as their at war of course.

Hi Simon,

It’s always hard to read tone over the Internet, but I feel kind of attacked here by your comments. In just the first two turns, you’ve told me that I’ll regret not attacking the British fleet, you suggested that my G2 Sea Lion attack was too risky, and you’ve implied that I totally missed a pretty basic counter-attack (SZ 92 -> SZ 110).

If you scroll up a bit in the thread, you’ll see that I already mentioned the SZ92 -> SZ110 attack, and that I wished I had moved the German destroyer forward to block the naval part of that attack, instead of moving the DD into combat to protect against a scramble in London. I also pointed out that you could move your Med fleet back to defend London, but that bringing the Med fleet back north would allow me to take Egypt – as I just did.

What’s going on here, anything? Did you not see my comments earlier in the thread? Are my strategies so sub-optimal that you’re not having fun? Maybe there’s no real problem; sometimes I’m overly sensitive. I just thought I’d check in and see where you’re at.

Cheers,
Argo

Update: Karl7 says you don’t mean any harm and you’re just excited about winning, so I’ll try to just relax and enjoy the game. :-)
