G40 Boldfresh(x) v Gamerman

[gamerman01]

Great - now I’m facing a J1 in both games and will probably mess them both up

Remember the time you tried the same thing in multiple games all at once and then it didn’t work?

I kind of anticipated this after the G1…  Going straight for the victory city win on both sides - probably one of the most effective Axis strats.  We’ll see.

[boldfresh]

you referring to your game with karl?  he’s japan and went with a j1 attack?

[gamerman01]

Sorry about the wait…. I don’t play A&A as many hours per week as I used to…
I should have time soon though…

JWW is trying to bump his way to a win, so I have to keep that one from going more than 3 days at a time…

[boldfresh]

no problem at all, i have more action than i can handle at the moment.

[gamerman01]

Oh - thanks - actually, I’m starting to look at moving USA/China/UK right now anyway…  :-)
So you know you don’t need to rush for me either

[boldfresh]

prepare for major brain freeze.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, I’m prepared.  It’s that way with USA/UK in the first few rounds every time…  :-P

I see AAA has USA at war with Germany and Italy.  This should not be.  I didn’t declare on them and they didn’t declare on me yet.  I wonder how you undo that… (not that it’s a problem for this game, but it is unsettling that AAA is not following the rules here - just because Japan declared war on the USA and the USA CAN declare war on Germany and Italy doesn’t mean she wants to - it’s not automatic)

wasn’t aware of that. what is a situation where the usa would not want to DOW germany/italy?

[gamerman01]

If Germany left a sub in Z101, the Americans could avoid convoy disruption by not declaring war.
If Germany had any surface ships and the USA would like to pass through that zone and ignore the ships - this is only possible when not at war.  I don’t think this could happen in the first turn, but I suppose if Germany neglected to declare war on USA on G2, then it could come up.

Nevertheless, the USA is ABLE to declare war on G/I after J declares war on USA or attacks the UK/ANZ, but it is NOT automatic.

Finishing UK now.  You don’t have to post the summaries at all, do you?  Just upload the map after the last consecutive turn?

[boldfresh]

correct.

I know it’s just ANZ/France
Planning to have them done by tonight

[gamerman01]

Well… it won’t be too long, anyway

[gamerman01]

Hmm, that move seemed to be almost exactly like Karl’s…

[gamerman01]

Yikes, it’s almost impossible to tell the ANZ boats apart from the USA boats…. this could be problematic in the future…

[gamerman01]

Hmm - bigger problem for you than for me…  Could be really easy to miss a 1-2 attack possibility!
