Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods

[kilroynothere]

@robson Sounds great. I am going to try to figure out something a bit different this time. What the heck that is, I don’t know yet!!!

[kilroynothere]

@robson So sorry for the massive delay. Family and work life has drained all of my free time of late. Plus, Fall is a lovely time here in Austin, Tx and sports, parties and other gatherings seem to be taking my evenings! I will get you a move here soon.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Again, very sorry for the delay in starting up this game. Work got crazy, had some tragedy with friends, its been hectic to say the least. Finally had a bit of time to think about how I wanted to approach this game.

Need your scramble orders.

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, all good. Hope everything turns out well for you and your family.
I am also currently pretty buys with finishing my paintwork before the map for Global War 36 v4 will arrive in my house.
By the way: maximum scramble please :relaxed:

[kilroynothere]

@robson OH, this is going to be a fun opening! “artwork”? What are you creating? send a pic if you can. I’m intrigued. You may like this, my friends and I were able to play my 1986 game of Shogun the other week face to face. It was a blast! Had not opened the box for 20 years!

[kilroynothere]

@robson Well, the Germans had great dice on the small battles and horrible dice on the big ones. No hits in Yugo first round! Lost most of the luftwaffe and UK has a BB left. Even lost a tank in France! Not sure if it is a major problem for Germany, but definitely going to be difficult moving forward…triplea_36714_1ger.tsvg

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, sorry for my absence the last two weeks. Hope to can continue tomorrow.

[kilroynothere]

@robson no worries, my friend. Take your time.

[Robson]

@kilroynothere Hey mate, finally I made it. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.triplea_36714_1ANZ.tsvg Had a bit of bad luck against Iraq but now the british can take that territory.

[kilroynothere]

@robson thanks! Thanksgiving was amazing. 33 for dinner! Big party…running a little slow today. 😵‍💫. Heading home tomorrow and will take a look.

[kilroynothere]

@robson sorry for the delay. Been traveling a bit. triplea_36714_1jap.tsvg

[Robson]

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, should be able to continue latest tomorrow. My wife and me got the flu and it was quite hefty.

[kilroynothere]

@robson dang. I have heard the flu is not much fun this year. My wife and I go the shot in hopes that if we come down with it we might get through it easier. Who knows? Wife just had knee replacement so I have been a bit distracted last couple of weeks. As always, no worries on my end of things and thanks for the update.

[Robson]

@kilroynothere now that break was absolutely related to christmas and family. Hope you had a wonderful time with your loved ones. Back to business, need your scramble orders for the axis. :blush: triplea_36714_1UK1.tsvg

[kilroynothere]

@robson sorry for the delay. I too have been enjoying the break with family and friends. Feel this game is off to a crazy start so I’m going to scramble all three fighters and hope the dice gods are kind!

[Robson]

@kilroynothere Well the dice gods decided to change the luck between the battles :-) Could be an intereting game. triplea_36714_1IT1.tsvg

[kilroynothere]

@robson just took a look at the game. Yeah, the Italian battle does make it a bit more interesting… although this one is already pretty darn interesting! Two things I noticed: 1. You deleted the Scotish troops but did not place them on London. I assume you want them there. I can edit them in. 2. The fighter plan that is added in Quebec MUST stay in quebec and cannot be on a newly built carrrier per the FAQ below. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35655/grasshopper-s-3g40-tournament-edition-rule-set

Q: If I purchase an aircraft carrier in sea zone 106 the same turn I get a free fighter in Quebec, can I immediately place that free fighter on the new carrier?

A: No, although in all other cases it is allowed, the free fighter in the American Lend Lease rule is special and must be placed in Quebec. This reflects the nature in which those aircraft came to be in Canada’s possession during the war.

I can make both of these Edits for you if you are OK with that.

[kilroynothere]

@robson since I had time, I moved forward with the Italian move assuming the edits are what you wanted. We can change them if not. Italy lost the bomber… it’s a blood bath

[Robson]

@kilroynothere Yes I made a mistake during non combat movement. So we can move on from here.

[Robson]

@robson Hey Kilroy, here is the next german turn.Looking forward to it.
