Now we are rollin!

dang seth, you been getting sea lioned lots lately man…

I got sea lioned too, but I made Japan pay for doing a late dow.

[Cow]

The g1 opener sucked too, because you scramble 4 fighters to protect your dd transport right and half the time you go fighter for fighter 1/4 you defend and 1/4th of the time -1 or -2 fighter net. You merge your naval off gibraltar and if he wants to do sea lion, italy will have to somehow luck out in sinking that (his odds would pretty bad). If italy fails france clears 2 german subs with dd cruisers then you are good to go.

So typically germany loses 4 air units so you help russia out, your med fleet is that much bigger with a bship and cruiser, + 4 german fighters out of the picture. So you come out on top compared to the standard g1 opener even if you only get 3 german fighters killed. He could still do sea lion, but it would be a g4 and really rough.

Hope that advice helps you Seth in your future games. Also avoid buying artillery for london, saving a few ipc is not bad.

[Cow]

People do sz 110 mostly because if sz 110 merges with the med fleet, it is hard times. I am also surprised you took allies at +3 only. Never go below 6 brother!

I’m not exactly sure what you meant by some of that . … .  also, I’m not UK in this game.

[boldfresh]

Cow, you talk a great game, I just dont know if it makes any sense.  Who knows you could be an a&a savant…  Or just a legend in your own mind  :lol:

Either way, its cool and always interesting reading  :wink:

It does make sense, do the math on 3 fighter 3 tactical vs dd 4 fighter. you can merge 110 with the egypt fleet off gibraltar after clearing the dd transport. Sea lion becomes difficult when germany has to battle a fleet in order to get the drop on london. The fleet is big enough to mess italy up later after the threat of sea lion passes.

[Cow]

Also buying artillery to defend london is a bad idea.

[Cow]

I prefer strait inf or inf and 1 fighter.

[ksmckay]

Well in your games feel free to do what you want.  Wasnt trying to defend Sea lion on B1.  knew it was a possibility but didnt think they would go for it.  Had other plans with the brits that didnt involve scrambling those ftrs.  Feel free to do what you want when you play but I dont need your advice.

Go ahead and try that same opening with Germany and see how many times Sea lion is successful for you (in the entire game).

Don’t always act like you know everything and try to be a little more tactful in how you give out advice and you’ll come across better.

Cow take your moo somewhere else.  We don’t want any of your moo-jest here. If someone wants your cowshit they’ll ask you.
