Yun taken with loss of 1 inf
I rolled for 4 at 1 instead of 2 at 2 and 2 at 1, ugh, but in any case it’s still 1 inf lost.
Japan collects 41 ipcs, saves 5 = 46
This game is with alpha 3 and the latest setup and Russian NO, with no techs.
Good luck to us both!

Oooops sorry guys. I was in your thread checking which map you are using to make sure TheOne’s ABattlemap would work with the map I am using. Then I posted the opening move in your thread!!!
Germany 1
112 was a nasty break for you that happens in only 1 out of 4 games, lose 1 ftr, dmg the bb
Paris taken with 4 tanks. Most of the time, you can take Paris without losing your tanks and even keeping some of your artillery. Very nasty break.
I am not sure if I would always go for sea lion under this opening since:
1.) Loss of tactical bomber – 1 in 4 chance
2.) Loss of all but 4 tanks in Paris when expected outcome was keep 5 tanks and 2 artillery
3.) The loss of the tank and artillery significantly reduces the fire power that I can bring.Collect 41 + 10 + 19 (French booty) = 70 ipcs in pocket
Sorry to butt in corriganbp, but as a Sea Lion guru (no disrespect, you have helped perfect it IMO), if you took that kind of loss on a normal bases because of UK naval rearrangement (as Krieghund suggested), and a beefed up France/Normandy, would it kill Sea lion, or just make it harder to pull off? I guess this game will have some insight on that now that it has resumed and those losses were caused by the dice as a simulation.
The dice can be cruel. As someone who routinely loses battles that the odds calculators round to 100%, I would be crazy to stay that anything is 100% - but yeah, it’s harder but still achievable with much better than 50% odds. At this point, too many variables to tell you exactly what it is. I think that the naval rearrangement will change my opening naval attacks. I might send a single sub into 106 now for example, and then that becomes a 50-50 battle against the cruiser (the sneak attack compensates almost exactly for the defense at 3).
Germany requires a certain amount of “fair weather” round 1 (I’m not talking about getting lucky, just talking about getting average or slightly above average rolls) to have it worth risking. I’m not opposed to going for Barbarossa rather than a foolish sea lion. Given his opening R1 purchases, and my opening loss of a ftr and a tank and all my artillery, if I go for it, it’s really just because this particular game is supposed to be all about sea lion game.

Buy: 3 bombers, 2 destroyers = 52 ipcs none saved

Placement: 3 bombers to E. Us, 2 dest to SZ10
I always feel as if im forgetting something lol. I thinks its because the units are so small and hard to define.
You are forgetting China and the UK. Just kidding, I know that you’ll get those turns in when you have a chance.
Incidentally, I’ve always had in my back pocket, one move that will help to increase the chances, depending on how he defends, but as is the case with most of those moves, it hurts the axis position post sea lion, and then there is the concern about whether or not that puts you over the tipping point.
Sorry, in the middle of a bathroom remodel lol… Here we go!

Usually the player that is hit with CRD rolls the CRD before their collect income phase. Obviously in online play there is no opportunity for the raiding player to point this out during the collect income phase.

CRD’d for 10 ipcs. That might be enough to get me thinking of going for sea lion.
UK collects 28 + 5 -10= 23. Note the IPCs column in the upper left.
China collected 15 ipcs.
ooops forgot bout the convoy lol and no i just realized the upper left lol. Just add or delet flags to it to change the ipc value i assume?
I feel like a type casted actor, who scores a great part when they’re young, but then can’t get cast as anything else.
I know, I need to try to for sea lion, so people won’t be disappointed, sigh.
