[questioneer]

Duh…just realized that my Brit planes couldn’t make it to Egypt which in turn was a wasted US turn.  Just dice whipped there anyway.

I wanna still play on but with that blunder along with the France cash lotto I gave you I think its time to stop this one.  This being one of my earlier games, I definitely learned from my mistakes.  Without those 2 blunders Allies would be in very good shape.

I’m thinking for the Med, I like the Tobruk move, with naval blockers, build the IC in Egypt right away and send aircraft to protect it from Med and India maybe.  This should solidify Cairo for a while.  US protects Hawaii and Australia and maybe just goes all Europe from round 3 on.  18inf to Korea, US fighter shuck to Moscow.  I see a good allied strategy coming together here.  Just gotta hone it.

[Guest]

Yeah I agree.  Either transport shuck to/from South Africa or IC if it looks like it can be defended.  I would give Iraq to Russia but that’s it.  Central Peria is too valuable as a possible IC site for UK later in the game if things go bad for USSR.  the Africa NO thing is a pipedream.  All USA has to do in the Pacific is keep hawaii and Sydney and keep Japan from getting beyond control; after that start working on Europe.

I think this axis Barbarossa is about as fast as can be reasonably expected and Moscow is falling round 8ish.  The game becomes more and more allies-favourable after around round 10ish.  After that Germany has to defend on all fronts (Norway, Normandy, Caucasus, Italy).

[questioneer]

Good game, we’ll league it up next time- got 7 other games going now. :-)

[Guest]

OK Germany purchase was 1 minor and 4 artillery.  Scramble 109 or z110?

V_vs_QC_G1combatmoves.tsvg

[coorran]

I’ll take U.S. and I’ll check what happens w/ Russia because I think my strat is not up to the point where it’s good yet.

[questioneer]

@Vance:

OK Germany purchase was 1 minor and 4 artillery.  Scramble 109 or z110?

I will scramble 1ftr fm Scotland to z109 and all 3 ftrs from England in z110

I don’t like those moves, I think you are going to lose a lot of planes.  Looks like your banking everything on the Minor IC and some SS kills.  Interesting to see.

[Guest]

Sure, it is an experiment.

[Guest]

Hmmm OK so triple A crashed on me so i will have to reroll all that.  i am too lazy to look through my email and sort it all out.  Also I forgot to move in the bttleship to z110.  Anyway its just a practice run.

[Guest]

Ooops i had the “post to forum” unselected so it went straight on to Russia’s turn instead of posting.  REROLLING……

[Guest]

dammit.  I put in the wrong forum number and it posted to the “coorran test” thread.  We can pick it up there.

[questioneer]

Ok hold on, now that you have a BB coming, that may change things.  I’ll wait til you get things straightened out first.  Show me the map, then I’ll decide what and what not to scramble.

[Guest]

OK hang on a sec.  I messed up by putting in the wrong thread number and couldn’t change it. I’m just going to redo it.  :-P

[Guest]

OK purchased 1 minor, 4 art.  Scramble z109 (1 sub), or z110 (1BB, 2 fig, 3 tac, 2 Bmb)?

V_vs_QC_reboot_G1combatmoves.tsvg

[questioneer]

Yeah I’m still gonna go for it to knock out some planes- all 3ftr in Eng to z110 and Scotland ftr to z109

[Guest]

Yeah that’s what I would probably do too, but notice once you lose your planes you won’t have them to attack me in taranto or send them to USSR.  but with no sea lion threat most people would scramble i think?

[questioneer]

Right, plus if I roll well I could win the darn thing, hopefully take down planes.  That’s less planes on the Eastern Front and planes are hard for Germany to replace.  They really can’t afford to “trade” planes with the Allies.

Right, no Sealion threat so I gotta do it, also there are no SS for fodder.  No Taranto, so I’ll settle for Tobruk again- I can live with that I think.

[Guest]

I accidentally posted it to the wrong thread again.  I guess this game will have to have each turn saved and attached manually because I put the wrong thread number in at the beginning.  I wish you chould change things like that.  sigh.

Anyway, bad dice for germany in z110 and z93, but very good in France.
