    Hey Mike,

    Hope you having a good weekend. Sorry for the delay but I was playing an actual boardgame yesterday A lord of the Rings thing.

    For me to make any decent long term challenge for you I would like to suggest that you speak to me about your strategy and comment on mine. These are all “practice” until I actually learn it. Otherwise I might not get to the point of actually enjoying the game.

    In this game I am trying to just brute force a Barbarossa-type operation but have no clue after this.

    Oh and I HIGHLY recommend that you start playing the G40 EXPANSION UHD Boxes. In fact, I would suggest that we not wait and start one now! I plan to get good and go to the Denmark Tournament this coming fall.

    Given your skill and experience I am positive that you will enjoy this far more complex game. There are many new units and much historical realism and those new units DRAMATICALLY increase the depth of strategy and play.


  • mike-vs-jcat-g40 RUSSIA 5.tsvg hope you had a good time. would be good with going over your play and mine. as far as expansion version I have avoided it so far as not a fan of trying to learn a lot of new pieces rules etc. just to play people who are already up to speed. if it is something you really want I would be willing to give it a try.


  • @mike64 OK no worries Mate. I don’t want to push anything…

    I’m too sleepy to finish my current turn tonight so I’ll say GOOD NIGHT now and take it up tomorrow after noon. Cheers


  • @mike64

    Hey Mike - did I miss your turn? I recall your texts from earlier today about the site being broken but I don’t see any updates since then… THANKS


  • My Russia turn is above in my previous post at the start of my message



  • @mike64 I have no idea what to do


  • @mike I made some big mistakes on that turn and tried to fix via edit but screwed that up too

    I think I should have just started it over. what do you think?


  • Sure. Just start it over.


  • @mike64 I double checked it and it is fine. I go confused over the buy - so when it came time to place the air base I bought, AHA, like magic it was replaced by two subs and inf…

    In other words , It is all fine and it’s your turn. It was easier to just place the subs and inf ad then edit them out and put in that airbase.

    Sorry for that - I need to further develop game play as well as my skills in this game


  • mike-vs-jcat-g40 BRITISH 5.tsvg understand your frustration with Japan. at this point you have too many things to do and not enough resources. China India and money islands. you spent more of your money on subs but still cant dislodge allies from money islands. if you go after China then India and money islands become problem. in general you should not attack neutrals as axis. you gained 5$ but British gained 7$ and 16 inf and next round british gain another 3$ and 6 more inf. I think maybe we start another game and I can show you some things. I still hate starting so far behind then having to outplay or out dice the other guy. If you want to keep this going that is ok.


  • @mike64 Great note, Thanks.

    Yea I do want to start another game and have at least something of a strategy guide like: Germany does the usual Barbarossa type thing but maybe has some options in the med.

    And I had NO IDEA what to do with Italy so anything would be helpful there.

    And Japan is fun actually. And I can sense that the usual play for them is to hide in the upper left - but I had no idea that Russia could reinforce there.

    I’ve a few personal crisis at the moment so I would like us to keep playing this game just so that I can learn what to do. Then start a new game in a week or two when hopefully the crisis have been resolved well.

    I’m definitely having fun with this game in any case and hope that you will too even though I am a beginner.

    I’ll get another turn out soon.
