Stalingradski (Axis) vs Fortress (Allies) 2nd Ed Global

[Fortress]

AH-

I just got a note from Winston. Something about your desire for more living space out east. Please clarify.

-Joe

[Stalingradski]

Oh no no no. Molotov got that message all wrong. As you can see, our forces on your border are just for show… our real concern is the United Kingdom.

Hey, what do you say we split Poland…?

9/10 on 2’s! AWEsome!

[Stalingradski]

I’m sorry about that - stuff like that can mean the game. I think a similar thing happened to me in our first game, when I attaked your Japanese position in Yunnan with 6 infantry and a fighter and failed to get a hit… it meant the loss of India for me.

Moments like these are why I’m a big fan of modified low luck.

[Stalingradski]

I never added you UK sub and infantry -

[Fortress]

No worries - I had a game where my opponent did a pre-Sealion SBR and got shot out of the sky 5-5 on AA guns. 1 in 7776 chance.

So I don’t get to cry about dice ever again  :-)

[Fortress]

Need scramble orders, please. Yes, I’m going in light in an attempt to goad you into scrambling up the last 3 fighters in Europe on a coin-flip  :lol:

scramble_uk1.tsvg

[Stalingradski]

That’s a better attitude than I generally have about dice - you’re a good role model!  :-)

Also, these things can very quickly shift back the other way.

[Stalingradski]

Yes, I’ll scramble German Fighter & Tac, Italian Fighter.

As I said, a bloody bloodfest!

[Eqqman]

I’m surprised Britain wasn’t tempted to go for the Gibraltar fleet combo recommended by Cow, it seems even more tempting when the Froggies are still there to support it.  Personally I’m not convinced it’s worth the trade-off of not giving Italy the round 1 pasting they so richly deserve.

[Fortress]

Eqq, I didn’t for a couple reasons.

No J1 DOW, so the US is on the sidelines. If he wants to, G2 can shut down Gibraltar and then I’m stuck in there (now without my Gibraltar Naval Base to move around) with the entire pissed-off Italian navy. Plus, I wanted him to burn some more German planes. From our last game, he knows what a premium I put on Cairo, so I figured he’d want to try to save Italian hardware at any cost.

The initiative against Italy is the one and only thing that UK has going for it. I’d like to keep a little bit of it  :-)

Of course, if I get routed doing Taranto without scratching that fleet, this is going to hurt. And I’m going to look dumb.

[Fortress]

S-

3 hits on the Taranto attack in first round. OOL? Tip, then…

[Stalingradski]

Tip, cruiser, German tac -

[Fortress]

You sank the carrier and splashed one plane. Round 2 I got 2 hits. You have a flaming battleship, ital fighter, ger fighter left. Who lives to see round 3?

[Fortress]

I only ask because I only have 4 units. It’s entirely conceivable that you hit 3x, then I miss and you hit. And whatever you picked would survive along with the italian tranny. Italian tranny? That’s Sofia Coppola, right?  :-P

[Stalingradski]

That was a great joke - I’d laugh if I weren’t a Patriots fan watching them get demolished by SF…  :oops:

I’ll keep the Italian fighter -

[Fortress]

Eh, I gave you the battleship - as it turns out it didn’t matter. The tranny survived. (And is making Godfather 4)
