L24 OOB Gamerman01 (Axis) vs FlyingBadger (Allies+51) #1

[gamerman01]

You’ve caused the gamer cpu to shoot some sparks and emit some smoke. The needle on the compass has been spinning around a bit

😵‍💫🏁📌🤔

Slept on it a couple times, this is a fun and interesting move right here. I’m re-learning some of the nuances and grand strategies that have slipped over some years of inactivity, and it’s fun.

I’ve been to Wake, I’ve been to Midway, Java, Queensland, naval bases, carriers, subs, tanks, men, what am I going to do?

LOL just posting an update for you. I’ll get there soon, hopefully tonight.

No scrambling there

[FlyingBadger]

@gamerman01 Is it worth having the US sub to disrupt IPCs from Greece? Or can it do that from SZ97 as that sea zone is also adjacent to Greece?

I’ve ready the manual but I’m still confused about whether a land territory has a specifc sea zone with which it is convoy disrupted, or whether it can be any adjacent sea zone.

@FlyingBadger 97 disrupts Greece the same way, and all convoy zones adjacent to a territory can disrupt that territory’s income. So you will do more damage in 97 because the sub in 99 can only disrupt 2 and then no more from that sub will count, plus that sub could work to make sure Germany income gets disrupted in 97. So as far as disruption is concerned, you’d go 97 with everything.
But there could be advantages to being in 99 for the location, like where the sub could go from there (cross Suez, for example)

[gamerman01]

I was considering bolstering Yunnan so the Chinese would have trouble getting the NO. You hit 2/3 and I almost couldn’t even take without losing a plane. With only one man remaining, the dice turned around and bailed me out

[gamerman01]

Did you want to move your green sub to 97? I won’t be moving immediately, but if I don’t hear from you I’ll play on

Thanks, I think I understand it now.

Would have been good to have had the Chinese take Yunnan for the NO. Japanese can’t be strong everywhere, but I think I have been slow to pressure the Southern China / Burmese front whilst the air power was elsewhere.

It’s fine, the convoy disruption on the Italians went okay anyway. Just happy I understand that rule better. I think that’s the third one I’ve learned from playing you in this game, as well trying to learn from your play.
