Vance (Allies) vs. AlexGreat (Axis), G40 Alpha +3

[Guest]

This already looks like it will be a good game!

Your movements all looked correct.  I didn’t look closely at your dice rolls but I assume they are probably OK since you say you caught one mistake yourself.

Anway, on to the war….

By the way, the Infoview is pretty useful for keeping track of your IPCs.  You can add to them by putting you roundel in the “IPC” column in the chart at the extreme upper left of the map where next to where you put yours last time to indicate your turn.  To take IPCs off, use he delete cursor just like when you are deleting units form the map.

Also, I named the file a little differently - this way helps keeps things organized in your Downloads folder or wherever you put all the files (and there will be many lol).

Hi Vance,

Japan following soon (had a f2f game, but was recalled home as kid is not so well).

Re research, is there a method you prefer? I like the science tokens (you buy them and keep them until you get a breakthrough, in which case all are discarded). If you agree, fine, if not then the “normal method” as in the Global rules, ok?

[Guest]

I don’t really use tech, so you go ahead and do whichever you think is best.

[Guest]

A “roundel” is also known as your “control marker” or your “flag”.  If you click it in the Toolbar, the cursor will become your flag just like a unit.  No worries; I will update your IPCs for you.

I guess you cant scramble as no DD (not that you would have, probably…)?
Intercept? (see my question above)

[Guest]

I can’t hit your subs with my planes without a destroyer, so no scramble.

Also, I don’t want to intercept the bombers either.  AA then bombs away!
