Costly turn. I love the harbor on Java !
mike-vs-jcat-g40 BRITISH 6.tsvg liked your move of taking out my land units and bomber on Java. So I wiped out your land units and bombers on Malaya
@mike64 Yea I figured that… what a blast
WOW what a Nail Biter - all nerves rolling that bomber vs your lone Brit in Turkey !!! In hindsight, however, I guess that is NOT worth the risk…
Having said that, however, one thing I picked up recently in this game is the knowledge that masses of planes can and often should take out ground units.
Anyway I still don’t really know what to do and figure these Axis and Allies games are likely all set up for an early Axis victory but if not that, eventual Allied victory since the allies have such a territorial advantage.

No worries Mike
Hey I have another rules question: While I doubt I would bother to attack that giant fleet you got rocking out by Java, how are order of loss handled? Is that a fixed thing or does it depend on each battle? And who specifies this ?
This is such a complex game; it makes my normal chess games look simple!
And there are no Economic victories right? In that expansion game that I told you about and which consumes most of my play time, that’s a big deal. But in this game the Axis have to actually beat the allies and I just don’t see how they can do it.
Cheers
you could ask your opponent for OOL. if battle more simple then they will typically give you a list. more complex such as off java would typically go round by round. for example you roll 16 hits and you give me that info. I say tip all cv and battleships and take 4 subs. then you roll my dice and take your losses and decide if you want to continue attack. if yes then roll and give info to opponent and so on. you can convey info to opponent by screenshot or saved game etc. some people like screenshot because they don’t have to be at computer. some prefer saved game file because they may want more info such as your purchases or other attacks etc. no economic victories. yes axis have to start strong.
@mike64 I would also like to know how things like factories and bases are captured or destroyed.
I don’t ask these questions without first looking through the rules but I am a little stumped on this.
I am thinking of Malaysia of course. Let’s say you swoop in with your 14 fighters (OMG!!!) and sure you likely lose a couple fighters but your two UK guys capture it.
But assuming I capture it right back I just want to know what damage you can do either by choice or by game design.
Thanks
@mike64 OMG this sounds very complicated.
That @beelee (on the triplea forum) guy (called some other “B” word on this forum and is named Bill I think, is one of the Master Minds behind all this development and he has kindly been helping me so very much… Anyway he often talks about doing special dice roles to resolve certain battles (like you just mentioned) but I do not know how to do that.
Fortunately, at least for this turn, I avoided all that. Whew…
yes I can capture Malaya and then you recapture. you have to own a factory or base at start of your turn to use it. you would just lose a round of being able to produce there. only time I think a factory destroyed would be if Chinese territory recaptured that has an axis factory then factory destroyed. such as Kiangsu. Barnee is who I think you are talking about. I think the different dice are on forum. they are usually used to reroll things. such as you forgot to bring some units to a combat and your opponent let you redo the battle. then some people reroll the forum dice. I have never used them. If you want you can go back to start of Japan turn and do attack off Java just to see how the process works and not keep results.
@mike64 nah it’s ok.
Hey by the way I think this will be the last G40 game I play online.
I need to focus on the two primarily games I’m playing (the G40 expansion by the Captain and BBR) and also work in as many real life Axis Allies BBR and EXP games as I can.
Those two games offer much more variability game to game. And They are far less vulnerable to “scripting.”
In contrast this G40 game seems like once one figures out the various typical plays (sea lion, Taranto raid, pacific strats, etc) it’s just rinse and repeat.
This is just my opinion and I’m not trying to be down on it. I just feel like once I figure out all the various starts that’s all there is. And the complexity level of BBR and G40 EXP with UHD boxes is orders of magnitude greater. So I’ll want to focus on that.
But let’s play this out for sure. Tho I can see it’s really already decided. :)
Good night.
no problem with you dumping me. if your conscious will let you live with yourself so be it. on the serious side I completely understand. especially the scripted part.
@mike64 So how about we just start a new G40 EXP UHD Boxes… game?
It’s a TripleA thing so we can do it online.
And Bill and others on eager to help us learn
took a look at the expansion. seems like more than I would enjoy trying to learn at this time. so good luck and hope you have fun with the expansion and BBR.
@mike64 OKdoki. Thanks for the experience
