XDAP LS21: WeWin vs Invisible Greens (bidding + game)

[Gully]

…well, hmmmm, Tambov. crawling his beard

After attacking Pearl Harbor ten rounds ago, Japan is now able to conquer it. This is obviously the turning tide in the Pacific Theatre. Pacific Domination is now established, it will be a question of a few days before the Axis Endsieg is achieved  :-D

Will post Japan tomorrow evening. I’m in the CET timezone, so that’s roundabout 18 hours from now. Japan will hold sz6, and probably the Hawaii-seazone as well, if I get to find some realistic odds for that.

:-)  It is all yours.  Thought you might enjoy a vacation there.  Try not to overstay your welcome though.

[JeffM]

Good game guys, team Atlanta Axis is looking forward to playing the winner!

[Gully]

…well, yeah, this is really a fun game.

Here’s Japan.

Combat Orders:

• sz26 (Hawaii): if the sub scores a hit (and Japan doesn’t), lose the DD and retreat to sz25(Midway).

no Noncombat moves, I already did them. If sz26 was retreated, land the tac sz25 of course.

Placement:

• FIC 3inf
• sz6 2sub 2DD

If the USA attacks sz6 with everything (including the 4fgt-Suiyuyan), scramble everything (tac+fgt) and use the 6 Kamikazes to 6 different ships (2Cru 4DD). If they attack with less, I’ll look at it first :)

Hmmm on second thought not all the 4fgt can fight in sz6. Never mind :)

Gnarf, upload folder is full again. I’ll send you the save-file per email.

Still awaiting the laptop to be returned. They said they had to order a part and that would add another 1-2 day(s) to the wait. I’m still waiting to see when I get it back, hoping for Friday, but I don’t know yet.

[ksmckay]

Why do you say that not all the 4 ftr can reach?  They are 4 spaces away and I have two empty carriers.  Unless you are saying 1 of them cant because you are counting the WUS ftr.  Why dont you double check your turn.

[Gully]

…well, I thought there was only one empty (US-)Carrier. Hmmm. If all US-fgt can fight in sz6, I’d rather keep the fgt in sz6 instead of using it in sz26. You may reroll the sz26-battle if you want, it’s only 1DD+1tac vs 1sub then.

[ksmckay]

ok well I need to figure out the europe side and the buys but I am attacking z6 with everything as well as attacking Japan with the 3 inf 3 mec and arm.

I assume scramble the ftr and tac and kamikazes at the 6 ships but I will ask for confirmation anyway.

After that how do you want to do OOL.

Is round by round necessary?

I assume it would be
damage ships
subs
dds (or maybe cvs)
cruiser
tac
ftrs
bbs

Well whiffing on the Kamikazes certainly wasn’t a good start.  The all important first round went even but the second round was lucky for the US.  That just turned things to a slaughter.  I had to go for it, wasnt going to get a better chance at it with being able to take Japan making it almost impossible to resist.  Particularly since the Anzacs were there to maybe back me up.

Of course I just realized you can continue your grand tour out to San Francisco but oh well.  It will be a short trip.

[Gully]

…well, battlescore 104, wow. Or rather 84 because 2fgt crashed. You even kept one Carrier alive if I got that right. Downside is your fgt’s on their way to Moscow will take a few more turns. I didn’t expect it to be that cost-efficient for you.

Now it’s “do or die” for the Euro-Axis. CHAAAARGE! The Endsieg will come!!11! :-D
