Lee vs Emil AA50 (1942)

[Evilemil89]

@leemorrison which button was that?

Japan was lucky in it’s few battles - amount of though boots on the ground is too light and with the pressure of the american bombers and newly build aircraft carrier - Japan will focus on gaining naval superiority.

the lend-lease agreement with the planes will turn the bear on its back.

“A single plane can win the war”

NB. should you attack ukraine - OOL would be to retain the bomber until every inf, art and italian tank perishes - and then ask - i’d estimate my luck at that point. and please get the marti dice setup correctly: according to https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37833/marti-dice-issues - gmail doesn’t work with marti - use my other mail (see image in mail previously sent)

Savegame

[Evilemil89]

@leemorrison I missed that there was a savegame - resuming

a nazi gamit by iceland proved folly

turn is handed over to the Brits

[leemorrison]

@Evilemil89 41437uk3.tsvg

I am so confused about the formats. I can not use MARTI with gmail apparently.

I have another game that is moving along smoothly at TripleA

anyway, as long as you are happy, so am I. Glad the Jpn ftrs are just out of range of my UK flotilla

[Evilemil89]

@leemorrison triplea_41437_2Ita.tsvg

moving the turn along

the two tanks was to good looking, to pass by - “sleep now in the fire”.

I remember my last pbm email (in 2020) - you did not have to setup configuration every time.

nothing great, but Chang Kai flexes his remaining muscles

@leemorrison triplea_41437_3rus.tsvg

Naval posturing somewhat delays the eastern progress - but in the face of no-threat, japan grows strong with all NO’s fulfilled

thin you ask? no no - “Death before dishonor”

leaving a bomber defenseless like that, was nice of you - too good to pass up.

my estimate of OOL was to let the bomber go first as it was a loosing battle - but only round of combat was needed, with the barrage of the ships - and question of OOL was not required.

forgot you only get one barrage per troop in an amphibious assault - worked out well enough: 1 for 1
