Gsh34 (Axis) vs. Axisplaya (Allies) G40 Alpha +.2 (no tech)

[gsh34]

Thank you for giving me the abbreviations and what they mean.  I had seen them before when checking out other people’s threads but I had no idea what they meant.  I’ll try my best to not mix them up when I type them out.

I have no problem with typing out tricky NCM.  I would expect that to be minimum one does.

Ok, back to the game.

Ok, I think that was all the NCM…phew!!!

[gsh34]

29 territories + 10 NOs + saved 5 = 44 IPC

Question, is it customary for a person to post their combat movement map before rolling?  If it is, I forgot to do that.

Uh oh…… :-o

The Kill America strat then…

that will be my 2nd time i have to deal with that…

[gsh34]

Who knows, play your cards correctly and maybe I’ll have to call it off.

[gsh34]

You don’t have to do it now unless you are comfortable with it, but I politely ask if at the end of our game you could steer me in the direction of the other KAF game you played.  I put a lot thought into this and I am really curious to see some real game experience to know if there is anything to this strategy or not.

[Axisplaya]

Can tell you i didn’t see it coming at all 1st time and had a very hard time stoping it.
But it was much less powerful than your set of moves. 1st time i play against K America First when it is declared from the start.
I might sleep on that position before i post. Have to think about it.

[gsh34]

Sleep well my kind opponent.  I will look forward to your moves when ever you decide them.

Since the US is neutral, the UK can not move the its Canadian troops into Cus.  Please place them where you would like to in Canada.  I will get to our game later tonight hopefully.

[Axisplaya]

Oops that’s right. I often forget this…

Just put my Uk units where they were before you play Italy please.

Sorry.

[gsh34]

For the UK,  I think you missed a convoy raid for -2 ipc in sz 106.  Can you please check that and verify?

[gsh34]

@Axisplaya:

Sorry.

Done.  Units moved back to original positions.  This is something I will often forget in the Pacific.  A lot of times I will have US units landing in Allied islands before actually being at war.  Happens to almost everyone I do believe.

[Axisplaya]

Ok, i will scramble 2fgt, 1tac in sz92

At the end of UK1, UK had all his territories (28) + 1 saved (1) + Cpr (2) + 1NO (5) -2 conv (-2) for a total of 34.
