I didn’t look at it closely. Also wouldn’t a sub have served the same purpose as the dd in the channel?

Nope, since a sub can be ignored. It doesn’t make the sz hostile. The point was to block picking up troops for amphi.

I’m out of town and don’t have my laptop charger. Nearly out of power so I’ll do the invasion later today when i get home. Do you want to do it live?

No rush. If it’s a big battle (seems you refer to Sea Lion), I’d prefer to be able to look at casualties. Atleast in the first or maybe even second battle round. Probably max d is the choice, but it’s not completely certain.

I will be home for about one more hour and thereafter I won’t be very available. I might be able to look via my phone, but not for certain. Will play Terraforming Mars with some friends.

[trulpen]

Might be that I’m back by then.

And negating any shore bombardment as well, of course.

This way also the fleet has to either stay and fight or move away.

@trulpen well that sucks, but it’s probably balanced out by your loss of air in Scotland. I think i might still have 70/80% odds

Yeah, sorry about that, but it was simply too much of an impact on the position primarily during UK.

The loss of 2 air in Scotland was a horrible affair for the Allies. Makes things very promising for the nazis.

[max334]

I think it might be fun to do sea lion live. Have you ever played live? What kind of time do you have tomorrow and, if you like, we can schedule a time to do Sea Lion.

[trulpen]

I’m home now. Have time tomorrow, so just start it and I’m likely around.

[trulpen]

SL is not so common, but it happens. I’m positive I’ve experienced it on both end with both players present.

Germany/Italy has 7 VC’s, so if you manage to bring down London it’s practically game over. There’s a chance to take it back though with US, but it can easily fizzle.

What I can see there’s 65-70 % on the defense, but perhaps I’ve missed something?

Abstained to take Scotland with 1 frenchie just to maximize the defense of an eventual SL. Losing 1 fig, 1 tac was extremely bad.

[max334]

yes you did miss something… you missed my two planes in Rome… oh, never-mind it was actually I that missed them. And of course I also blundered with my troops on the French coast by not fully understanding the impact of the English Channel DD. So now my chances are down to 28%.
Kind of a busy morning, I’ll see if your available a little later for the big battle

[trulpen]

You are daring. Looking at the dice history it seems to be the right choice.

I’m leaving in one hour and will be back in 2-3 hours after that. Will be available both before and after.

But on the other hand, if you don’t win in Europe soon, it’s likely a lost cause for Axis.

[trulpen]

Have to sleep now, but we can try tomorrow.

[max334]

@trulpen thats a surprising statement. Is that the general consensus that if the Axis dont win big in Europe they end up losing the game? I was thinking that with the loss of Russia, the Axis was looking good

Actually Axis can win in either the european or pacific scene. Or simply getting too powerful.

I can be wrong, but I’m thinking that Japan is more or less out of the game now, which leaves only the other theatre. That one looks pretty good though.

The Allies has a significantly higher income than the Axis and will be out-mobilized if the game carries on for too long.

US can put a lot of cream towards Europe now.

Hi, sorry I haven’t had time to do our battle. I wanted to let you know that I have several appointments tomorrow so I may not be able to do get to the game until Thursday. Again my apologies, but wanted to give you a heads up.

[trulpen]

No problem. We’ll do it when you have the time.

[max334]

So I had an epiphany this morning… and thats good news for you… I’ve decided to let you live. I’m working the plan now and will let you see the manifestation shortly

[max334]

ok, so the new plan has a few holes… but I think I can fix it… I just dont have time to fine tune it right now. But you should still be happy, because you will live to see another day :)
