Kobu vs. JamesAleman G1940 Alpha+.2

[Kobu]

Assuming no tech and a friendly game where mistaken non-combat, non-contested combat, etc. are forgiven if no impact on opponent moves already taken. Maps can be reposted with corrected moves, IPC counts, etc. IPC and combat mistakes are to be corrected at the earliest notice by either player.

I’ve been doing play by email for 11 years and have a particular system I’ve grown to use. Combat moves and non-combat movement/placements on the map. Only buys spelled out for the sake of time and sanity. Any questions on movement, please ask. Assume planes are flown in the most economical or necessary manner to safely land.

Rolls are attack then defense. They are typically rolled together to speed combat despite giving a slight advantage to the defender who would not normally know defense hits before taking casualties. Such is life. Subs and other attacks rolled separately and noted. Small, low hit percentage fights may be rolled in clumps with losses taken left to right (two subs vs. destroyer, first destroyer hit kills the sub rolling to the left). Loss order assumed for the most part. Exceptions for some naval battles and bombers as defense which have to be asked. I’ve started to put “!” on the map to mark battles. It’s nice, but not strictly necessary.

Using Sgt. Wonko’s map v. 3.1. It crashes, sometimes often, so be sure to save if making complex moves.

Germany buys (using old 3 letter system)

1 car = 16
1 dst = 8
1 sub = 6

Spend 30

Combat map attached, need scramble orders for SZ111. I’ll wait even though it does not impact any other battle.

[JamesAleman]

No scramble, I think I understand the format. Will dice be rolled using this forum? If you expect otherwise, I’ll need instructions.

[JamesAleman]

@JamesAleman:

No scramble, I think I understand the format. Will dice be rolled using this forum? If you expect otherwise, I’ll need instructions.

Also, I can be very friendly as well. Bear in mind this is my first forum game. I’m a tabletop player, and I always forget to scroll at times…I expect there will be times when I forget to do both sides of Russia and such…

If you think I am not finished, just give me a heads up. I’ll do the same.

If you forget something, and it does not impact a battle after my next posted turn, I am also flexible too. As long as its not a direct response to a multi-turn plan that hindsight would help you prevent and such. Or a response to a non combat move etc.

I’m laid back,

Thanks for the game.

[Kobu]

Combat rolls in an hour or so. Have a date to attend to.

[JamesAleman]

@Kobu:

Combat rolls in an hour or so. Have a date to attend to.

I’ll be in bed by 9:30pm central time. I get up for work at 4:30am. Working 10 hours tomorrow, I’ll likely have USSR posted by 6pm central time.

I’m excited already. Is that a standard German buy for you?

[Kobu]

I don’t really have a standard German opening. Maybe six or so I try. I mix it up. Here we go.

Not too shabby overall.

Collect 41 + 10 NO + 19 looted from Paris = 70.

Kobu_vs_JamesAleman_01_Germany_Done.AAM

[Kobu]

Upon further review, I’m going to keep a couple art instead of mechs in Paris. No other changes.

Wow, best I’ve ever done round 1. Sorry about that.

Wow, very efficient outcomes. You defined Blitzkrieg. :)

[JamesAleman]

USSR buys: (I did non combat and production so I will describe where units went that were built)

2 fighters (Russia) = 20
3 mech (Vol)= 12
1 inf (SUKr)= 3
Total spent = 35 save 2

Here is where you can update the map and explain how I save two IPCs please :)

Stacked 17 in Amur as discussed. Enjoy!
No DOW, unless you permit me to DOW against France (joke)

Kobu_vs_JamesAleman_01_Russia_Done.AAM

[JamesAleman]

So collected 37 +2 for 39 next round.

Done.

Can’t wait to see Japan

Thanks for the Game.

[Kobu]

Japan will not tolerate this provocation from Russia. DOW. Have $12. Use country markers in the upper left hand corner to mark your IPCs. I added in the 12 and the saved 2 for Russia for 51 total.

Japan buys 3 trn = 21. Save 5.
