What’s the ruling on amphibious assaults that also have ground forces coming from an adjoining territory? Can the ground forces retreat if the amphib portion of that attack is dead?

[Cow]

yes

[seth4god]

I’ll have to do my turn later even if you are doing Germany now. I’m curious about what Germany will do.

[seth4god]

Hmm, you hit sz112 and Normandy. I’m still not entirely sure how to read those rolls when there’s that many dice, so I’m not entirely sure about the casualties. You retreated after 1 round in Normandy though, so hopefully that’s a good sign. And my little destroyer got to paint 2 Nazi swastikas as it sank. So that’s great.  :-D

[seth4god]

I want to say 4 to 4 hits . …  maybe? I dunno

[Cow]

it was so I wouldn’t have to xport as many to london to hold it.

Veqryn is going to hate the amount of gambling I am doing.

[Cow]

so for you to liberate france, you need to get france west germany and northern italy. shooka shooka. london is still london, but all my air is there and my bombers so you can go for it :)

[seth4god]

All that stuff stranded in UK .  .  . I might not take it at all. US will be establishing themselves in Norway and look to rack in some nice income next turn. Or maybe France . . . I dunno.

I have some time to make a move as I’ve been doing some household chores. But I’d feel rushed if I were to do my move now and don’t want to risk making a costly mistake. And I want to take advantage of the last few hours of daylight left to me.

[Cow]

yeah I don’t know how long you can make a nice income with usa there. If you do nothing, it is not hard for me to kick you out and it requires upkeep of at least 3 infantry purchase in normandy. Allows russia to beef up, but I don’t need to take russia, I just need volgograd and egypt, but you have lots of mech/armor.

You forced me into this position, so I am making the best of it, in the long run I will be fine. I am taking the longview now.

[Cow]

Veqryn is in a great position for this game. Lots of options. Can charge for new south whales and go for hawaii at the same time. Could go for africa. Could do many things. Further the sino russian campaign and get more income up top as well. Lots of stuff n things to do. Plus no more transports from you except from anzac so japan won’t need to block you.

I am looking at western australia and that is so tempting. take back phil, drop 6 on western australia which cuts anzac off the bonus. fly all his air there drop an air base… then kill everything then blam pacific win.

I am not japan so I don’t want to calc everything out… but couple this with naval purchases off of japan in range of hawaii… we are talking about a serious attempt at pacific victory with really good odds.

So I don’t know how much more investment you can drop in europe.

I am not sure if Veqryn is going to go for the win or expand. I am not japan, but I would go for the win. Then again africa is wide open, then again europe is kind of iffy.

Japan has a slight edge in naval as of right now, but he buys before you so yeah… that is not good for usa.

He can use his advantage for either expansion or for a victory rush. This is a player call, but when I eyeball it, looks like a pacific rush should win it for us. Veqryn has to run all the necessary calcs as far as the new south wales thing goes.

The nice thing about western australia is it cuts anzac off of his bonus. keeps anzac at 9 ipc a turn.

Now that I think about it… I should have brought 2 bombers over with germany so you can’t block him sigh.

No matter :)

[Cow]

germany is messy but will stabilize sooner or later.

TUV is close even after russia goes. Unit count is close. Axis income advantage.

[Cow]

This game is probably going to come down to the pacific.

dutch new guinea is not a bad spot for japan either. Merge japan fleet in carolines and bam serious threat to either VC. Japan does not need to block usa with dds or anything in the upcoming rounds either, so you will be trading dds for subs most likely if you have to block japan.

Japan has so many options to pursue victory and/or expansion.

[Cow]

Plus it would be nice to get a pacific victory, we will be the only team that won the game with japan in the first round.

[Cow]

I mean first match**

[boldfresh]

UK is in german hands.  how is this not a dominant Axis position?

[Gargantua]

Actually… don’t think you considered this seth.

Why not Convoy Axis-UK to death?  Makes it game Neutral.

[Cow]

convoyed italy first.
