Nothing to see here (Axis) vs. James Aleman (Allies) g40 alpha3

[JamesAleman]

You are right, I must stop In Sukr, therefor, I go through Nukr to Sukr.

See page 26, AA europe 1940 rulebook, under tank section: Blitz “A tank that encounters enemy units in the first territory it enters must stop there, even if the unit is an antiaircraft gun, industrial complex, air base, or naval base.”

Sorry it took a while to decide where to put my fleet and I’m still not convinced I made the right choice but we’ll see.

Absurd. Scotland may cost me the game as well, when I take with London, 3 more units will be out of the capital-6 for 2…silly. I would have retreated if we both hit one, or you hit once again…oh well. The goal was to hit one unit on round one and retreat, if I sent four I could take by accident…Objective: trade 1 US infantry for 1 German to soften for UK…Objective=Failed.

Sco: Germany no loss, USA lost inf,2art
z39: Germany lost dd,trn; USA lost sub
z34: Japan lost dd, USA no loss OR Japan lost sub,dd; USA lost sub (just remove a sub each)
z22: Japan lost dd; USA lost sub

(You effectively did not miss a chance to hit and trade in battle, except for the dd that missed in z34 made up for by 3 free US units, not your fault, I fail at rolling)

Well, we’ll see if I take Japan next turn. If I fail, we can call this game. If I succeed, we’ll see where it goes.
Also, if Italy attacks India, do not remove the aagun, I want to shoot at Germany air units :)

Wow, I fail to hit even for the next 4 rounds. Lol, why do I play.  (I had a reason to hit Sui, but fate opposes me. Not too important, it was only a 50/50 battle)

Note: on the USA, if you decided to scramble 1 tac for Japan and it hits, simple remove a fighter and land a fighter from Mex that went to Mid.

On Italy’s turn, can you decide if you want to remove the Jap sub and US sub or keep it, will affect Anzac. Then I can post them and France.

I decided the Japanese Sub fought and I removed the two units.
