Wheatbeer (axis) vs U-505 (allies) G40a3 low luck

[U-505]

I’m not going to waste our time. This one is done. If I were further along against Japan or prepared to attack Egypt this turn I’d stick it out, but Germany is going to earn too much from now on.

I figured that by forcing Germany to spend most of it’s early money on navy and air it would help Russia for a long time and it did, but I had to sacrifice too many units up front to make it happen. I never really liked trying to get the UK Med fleet into the Atlantic, I just did it to see if it could be done effectively. I was pretty sure that low luck would favor the G1 opening and I believe it more, now.

And placing the bid sub in sz91 is definitely more effective than in sz98. The sz98 sub only works if Germany doesn’t build any first turn air or navy that could be used in Sea Lion. That way the UK can spare the extra aircraft that normally go to the UK defense to attack the Italian BB without using the CV as fodder. But, Germany never builds only ground units on G1 so it’s not feasible.

It will take a couple turns for the monetary edge to swing, but generally I agree.

The Soviets would need to strafe Bryansk to get any men out of Ukraine alive and that would speed up the fall of Moscow considerably.

If you want a fresh match (league with bid?) let me know.

[wheatbeer]

Whichever you’d prefer works for me.

[U-505]

Well, I’m not going to play a league game with Low Luck until I’m sure of an adequate bid range, so do you want to play a league game without LL or a non-league game with LL?

[wheatbeer]

I guess league without LL.

[U-505]

Alright, now let me try to remember the new bid system. When I bid, it means how much I’m going to give you to play the allies, right? Ok. Let’s go with 9.

[wheatbeer]

I’ll give you 10

[U-505]

Wondering if a fighter in Scotland would do the trick. I’ll go with 11.

[wheatbeer]

I will take Allies +11 (because I am afraid to offer you 12  :lol:).

Need to think about where to place the bid.

[wheatbeer]

Okay, I’d like 1 sub SZ98 and +5 IPC to London’s bank.
