L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!

I was nervous when I saw you bombed the harbor, but then I remembered I can still move 3

[gamerman01]

That was in local?? I never do that.

You only did 2 convoy damage in local.

Of course, it’s possible you will do 0.

Nice! 3 is more than 2, but, you know!

[gamerman01]

Now you will get a lot more money when you sack Rome

You have to repair to 2 damage though, right? Just trying to starve the IJN like in the real war (although that was mainly subs, I think, I checked a quick wiki article that say USN subs were 56% of total Japanese merchant marine shipping losses by GRT)

[gamerman01]

Yes, I’ll have to spend 4 of my precious treasury

And you’ll convoy me hard, though maybe the Japs are as lucky as the Italians.

It’s Germany against the world!!
I don’t like your chances 😈

Indeed, I also find it amusing that you think I will be able to sack Rome, I don’t know that I can get anything done in Europe after the next German turn and that 96 IPCs hits the board

My luck streak comes to an end, you blasted me for 3 off South France,
Russians raid on my parade. I guess they have a lot of incentive.

[gamerman01]

If I can kill all Russian units in my sphere of influence, then I can play straight from my dream Gray team to my nightmare yellow team!

[gamerman01]

I hope you weren’t disappointed by the radar tech, it’s not sexy and fun while you’re playing on offense but it is very effective against enemies who have aircraft!

What good is a long range jet if you’re rolling 1s and 2s with radar? Better to have infantry staying at home!

[Stucifer]

The half-hearted return fire in Caucasus is sad to see. Can’t catch a break on killing German planes, they’re too fast to track!🚀🚀

[gamerman01]

And suddenly… I hadn’t thought of this until now… 5 IPC’s for AAA is definitely not over-priced!

Sorry for you, but man it was fun to see all dice rolled on a 4, and smoked a British stack in a very key location

You need to get heavy bombers on your 5 green ones that I can’t shoot down!

[Stucifer]

Ironically the radar tech is helping more against the Japanese for now, other than maybe stopping some facility bombing.
