Jennifer (Axis) vs Krychek (Allies) Second Theory Test Game

[Krychek]

It’s ok for the TRNs because I know you would have done it but yet again, this game is about nto forgetting stuff

Let it not happen again ! :D

[Jennifer]

Yes, I’ve been going back to writting down all the little moves.  Once or twice writting down the moves has saved silly mistakes because I can point back and say “see I moved it, I just forgot to move the tiles”

Yes, you will probably clear SZ 26, but clearing the sea zone is only part of the battle, the other part is not losing your other warships to the counter attack.  Since you hvae no landing zone, and I do, that also means my high value pieces can stay in the fight longer….  It’s a gamble on my end (7 total destroyers, 5 submarines and any planes I have left vs some crippled warships and no defending planes) but it’s also a gamble on your end…can you do enough dmg to survive the counter attack, or not?

[Krychek]

the thing is you can’t maintain the momentum while I can afford a new fleet =D

Anwyays, I’ll see there, soon, lol

[Jennifer]

You sure?  America 70 IPC, Japan 70 IPC.

[Krychek]

What if I cut your supply line with a destroyer ?! Lol

[Jennifer]

Could, but you’d be a destroyer weaker in SZ 26.

This assumes scramble, which may not happen and you bring everything into the battle.

We have equivalent pay, but I’ll end up with significantly more war material than America after the battle.

Just my best guess.  Up to you, but I don’t think you have the recovery power at the moment.

[Krychek]

If you are taking that much time to go through that it means it would piss you off lol

[Jennifer]

@Krychek:

If you are taking that much time to go through that it means it would piss you off lol

nah.  I’ve been struggling to turn the tide since you landed in W. Europe.  I made a mistake on SZ 27, but I don’t think America can exploit it yet.  Round after this one, you would have plenty of firepower to exploit the hole and turn me back, but right now I’d wipe you out before next turn and you would be set back a number of rounds, not just one, IMHO.

[Krychek]

I’m gonna do it and you’ll see what happens, I don’t need to hold my carriers casualties at all. All I need is a viable POSSIBLE landing zone at the moment of the attack, which bringing 4 AC does. The attacker may chose to take ACs as casualties even if the possibility then exisst that fighters may not have a landing zone, since the rule only applys to be able to lunch an attack, not to determinate the order of loss once it has started. I wil lchose my AC firsts and I’m buying 2 ACs anyways to bring 4 planes back.

[Krychek]

Playing my turn tonight after job

[Jennifer]

Yes, you may choose to let your pilots die by killing their landing strips.  But is that in your best interests, or mine???

[Krychek]

We’ll see :)

This is the hell of a turn, thinking about many things. Will eventually come !

[Krychek]
