13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (+18) game 2

[boldfresh]

if the USA were to attack kwang with a naked transport, could kamikazi’s be assigned to the transport?

@Boldfresh:

it appears tripleA only allows kamikaze’s to be directed at surface warships - i just want to make sure that is correct.

[wheatbeer]

That is correct.  Kamikazes can only target surface ships.

[boldfresh]

sorry for all the questions - got another one for you.  can china repair NB or AB?

[wheatbeer]

I am fairly certain that China cannot repair facilities or use them in any way but let me skim the FAQ.

[wheatbeer]

According to Krieghund, China can’t repair bases.

Though I was wrong in that China can use them.  Although there are no airbases anywhere China can take now (and I’m not sure if they could be allowed to scramble if there were because that would take the unit outside China … but at least they would get the +1 movement bonus hypothetically).

[boldfresh]

i am crafting some ridiculous but possibly dastardly plans over here…  :roll:

[boldfresh]

can the americans not control the celebes?  appears not to let them - need to understand this situation.

[wheatbeer]

The US can’t assume control of Dutch territory directly from the Dutch, unlike ANZAC/UK.  The US can only control Dutch territory if they’re taking it over from the Axis.

[boldfresh]

ok, i think i’ve got it.

[boldfresh]

eh, maybe not yet.  there are some very heinous
things the allies can do, but i don’t have the time
to put it all together yet quite.  i hope to get it done by
tonight, because after that i will not be able to post until Jan 1 or 2.

[wheatbeer]

Okay … whenever you go, please keep in mind I may be particular about OOL, especially in naval battles.

[boldfresh]

VERY interesting game.  i’ve made a couple missteps i think.  however, they have presented some potentially lethal opportunities.

if i do a naval battle i will always wait for ool.

[boldfresh]

@wheatbeer:

Okay … whenever you go, please keep in mind I may be particular about OOL, especially in naval battles.

z39 is certainly quite tantalizing.  trying to fully wrap my head around it.

[wheatbeer]

That’s a perfect example of where I’d prefer to call OOL round by round.

I’d prefer not to risk dumping planes into the ocean if I can help it.

[boldfresh]

ok here you go

[boldfresh]

well, i don’t know if i made the best move or not but having thought about it on and off all day, i wanted to make the moves before i forgot about all the factors i was juggling.  VERY COMPLICATED.

great game.  allies are much more difficult to play.
