I used edit to tweak my NCM slightly.

The fighter which went from Kwangsi to Kwangtung during combat lands in Manchuria instead of Kwangsi again.
One fighter (not used during combat) went from Manchuria to Japan.

[boldfresh]

does the german sub in z101 inhibit loading in either combat move and/or noncombat move?

[wheatbeer]

It works fine for combat.

It still requires a workaround for noncombat.  If you want to move troops on that transport to a friendly territory, just load them during combat phase, move the ship also during the combat phase, and then unload them during noncombat phase.

In total, this looks like you added 6 fighters / 1 tactical bomber, and removed only 4 fighters, creating 3 extra planes.

[wheatbeer]

If you want, I can talk about some of the moves that I thought were less than ideal (bearing in mind, I’m not a pro at playing the Allies).

I am also willing to start over with low luck (dice drive me crazy sometimes too).

We could also switch sides.

what happened was, i thought i had 2 carriers in z33 and i ended my turn and since there was only 1 carrier, i lost 2 planes, if i ended up adding too many back in we can correct it.

i am totally clueless to G40 and would be very glad to hear any thoughts you have - don’t worry i won’t be offended, i have taken very little time to actually analyze the game, i’m playing just to get more proficient at AAA and to try to start learning the G40 rules.

Thanks

[wheatbeer]

UK1 you got kinda screwed by how many German subs were alive.  What you did with your bid was very good.  Italy had to forgo Greece, block the Suez against your fleet, and expose a lot of Italian land units.

Your UK1 Buy was probably too conservative.  Even though Germany had a good turn, I would only buy 9 infantry if I did Taranto (SZ97) + SZ96.  You could have bought another fighter for London and NCM’d some of the ones you already had (along with some infantry) to Scotland.  That way, you’d have 6 planes able to scramble to defend SZ109.

You didn’t use the transport off of SZ39 on turn 1 (I think).  You could have used it to claim Persia on turn 1.  I’m sure you realize now, but the ships in SZ39 were too vulnerable.  SZ79 would have worked.  Sometimes I send the UK Pacific BB to SZ54 so it can add some defense to the US fleet.

Sending the US fleet to SZ31 isn’t terrible, but it might not have been worth it just to pick up the fighter.  I usually start moving everything to or toward Australia to get ready to pick off the Dutch East Indies (DEI) and kill Japanese blocker ships.  ANZAC should generally take Java … sure the transport is doomed, but in the long run forcing Japan to fight for the DEI is best.

Regarding round 2, the US made a bad choice in the Atlantic.

Germany can (and would) easily sink SZ91 on its own.  But consider what happens if Italy takes Morocco … then Germany wouldn’t even need to use it’s battleship or carrier because every single one of it’s planes would have a safe landing zone.

China could have sent less to Yunnan in combat, 6 infantry + 1 fig would have done.  Then you could have NCM’d and Mobilized everything else in Szechwan or Sikang.

With a buy of 5 infantry, you could have had a total of 9 infantry + 1 fig on Szechwan or Sikang.  Szechwan might end up annihilated by Japanese air power.  But Japan will have to lose 3 planes to make it happen, and in the long run that’s not a bad accomplishment for China.

The UK didn’t do anything bad except ignoring the undefended transport off Sumatra.  You might have done 2 inf, 1 fig, 1 tact to Shan, and the other fig to SZ41.  Sending another land unit to Shan is worth it to knock out a Japanese transport (and probably better than having ANZAC send a doomed destroyer out to sink it).

As always, bear in mind, the Allies aren’t my strong point in this game.

I hope one of those two longer posts was helpful.

Let me know if you want to keep playing this match or what.  I would be willing to go to low luck and/or switch sides if you want to start a new match.  Unlike many members of the forum, I enjoy low luck games.
