Two things to remember…

1. Though I am an experienced opponent, and I will treat you as such - I’m not some special undefeatable “pedigree” as you put it so gently :).  I’m just another soldier in uniform, who’s got some scars to show off on this website.  I wish you your best.

2. You can’t blitz AA Guns or Facilities / Complexes.  So don’t try to!

[Jercules]

I’m sure you know how it is–it’s difficult to test the validity of certain strategies (such as a G1 Barbarossa), when you can’t trust the competence of your opponent. I doubt that’ll be an issue here.

Anywhooo,

[Jercules]

Forgot to turn those Mongolian guys into Russians for you.

[Gargantua]

Quite an AGGRESSIVE opener.

I like it.

[Gargantua]

Jerc,

How do you have 8 ground units in PHI?  And only 3 transports?

And what unit did you lose there if that is the case?

[Gargantua]

-1 inf., 1 art. (KSI), 1 inf. (OK), 1 art. (Man.), 1 inf., 1 art. (Japan), 1 tac., 1 f.

Yet I’m seeing 6 inf 2 art?

[Jercules]

It’s 3 inf., 2 art., I happened to place them where the ‘Phi’ label is so it looks like 6.

To save time, Italy will scramble everything and if sz6 is attacked, I’ll need a chance to decide on kamikazes.

Other than that, I think we’re good.

[Jercules]

Actually, wait… WTF would I lose an art. instead of an inf?  Do you mind if I correct that to 2 inf., 3 art?

[Gargantua]

Yea no problem.  When I fire out the US turn, I’ll adjust it for you.
