@Blackychan you play the global 36 game from HGB? I’ve seen pics of the map and it does look pretty cool… but it probably would take a long time to play.

Sorry, but didn’t bring the transport on the map, but two infantry in Egypt means I brought it.

Ok. I’m getting breaks. Maybe my bad luck got used up for awhile against Steve. You can thank him.
Italy collects 19 + 10 NO = 29 IPCs.
-
Very nice. This is the first game I’ve ever seen Italy take Egypt. I also really liked your Japan turn 2 moves. Well played sir.
-
Also, when I attacked you in Alexandria, I should have sent you a quick message to see if you wanted to lose the Artillery or the Mech. I obviously chose the Artillery, but you can switch that for the Mech if you’d like.
-
Thank you!
The Egypt move was 50-50, and I was feeling ok about it because I had the extra unit. Frankly it was pure luck.
I’ve never done a J2 before so I was curious, and I like it. It suppresses the economy of India and Anzac, somewhat, as it kills those transports before they can move twice. That was actually the entire impetus for the decision.
-
Good point, and thanks for the catch - I’m ok with the Mech as is.

ANZAC turn 2 buys: 1 Aircraft Carrier=16 IPC’s, saving 2 IPC’s.
Moves around & places. ANZAC collects 17 IPC’s.
France longs to make fine wines, but looks on Europe with disgrace and a tear of defeat is shed. :cry: They commence to moving.
-
I am a kind and gentle occupier. The French may make as much wine as they want, and keep it, and drink it. But no sabotage!
Germany 3 purchases Minor IC, Fighter, Destroyer, 8 Infantry = 54 IPCs.

I know what that new IC is for. You’re finally building that Schnapps factory in Crete, just like you’ve always dreamed of. Good man.

Russian turn 3 buys: 9 Infantry & 1 Sub=36 IPC’s.
Retake Siberia, those are my Gulags. No Sake swilling troops in my neighborhood, Ooh rah.
Non-com, unit placement. USSR collects 36 IPC’s.
-
Oops, 1 more infantry for me as I spend 30, :roll:.
Too much Sake left in the camps impeded my purchasing prowess.

Our spy network supplied you with extra Sake…

In case you don’t see it in the thread, awaiting scramble orders for India, sir.

How many IPCs do you think Germany should have to pay to fill their new Grecian factory with schnapps? :-D
2 IPCs per trainload? Do my troops on the front get a morale advantage?
