You may want to scramble

[erinmores]

@ClintA No scramble, however, please keep in mind next time…when you pair a Tactical Bomber with a fighter, you get a 3 for the fighter, a 4 for the tactical. You could have improved both fights by swapping one Tactical with one fighter. However, no scramble.

[ClintA]

I’ll call that one a ‘senior moment’ - otherwise known as a brainfart :)

[erinmores]

@ClintA thing about online vs IRL, I just pretty much assume everyone is a young full time gamer looking for the kill. So possibly we are closer in age than I realized

@ClintA Clint, have you played Anniversary or G40 much? I’m asking because…in each of these sets, the rules for Amphibious Assault point out you cannot load a ship in a contested SZ…what if UK builds a destroyer in 110?

[erinmores]

@ClintA This will NOT be an issue with the Russian cruiser if you go towards Russia - because you are allowed to load in a hostile zone the turn you declare war. [it is worth mentioning, in Pacific, India frequently places a destroyer amidst Japs while at Peace, and then later in same round Anzac declares war … and Japan cannot load its transports to attack islands - this is a very formidable defense vs a landing] You are showing all signs of invading UK … and I’ve been throwing up barriers to prevent that…

I’m a complete noob I’m afraid. Just started with G40 about Christmas time. Bought the board games off Amazon with intention of playing against my brother, then found the forum and thought I’d give it a try. You’re my first human opponent, don’t worry about thrashing me and I really do appreciate all the advice, means I learn lessons rather than just left tasting the bitter ashes of defeat 😁

Haven’t played other versions, bar a game at university in late 80s or early 90s, think it was the classic game. Global map but much smaller than the G40. Wasn’t a lot of strategy applied as we had a few beers in 😂
