Global 40 2e, nerquen (Axis) vs. DaddyK (Allies +8)

[nerquen]

I keep messing things up in France… first I left you free kill on my antiAA now I failed to retake Holland… I wanted to max my units on east front but forgot that it is not that unlikely that you hit me in Holland or Normandy… and then I won’t capture it. Can you also please edit in your R2 move my G2 placement and move one new artillery from Germany to Western Germany? Thanks.

[DaddyK]

No problem.  I will fix it on turn (coming soon).  I found when I played against myself in triplea I was constantly failing to make moves I should have made.  Via La France!

Robert, there is an edit in my turn… I thought I can do movement to China teritories without your units in my non-combat move… but found too late (after dice rolled) that it is impossible… so I just moved my units in China via edit… I hope it is ok.

Also… if you attack SZ 97 I scramble all 3 fighters

Scramble and Kamakazie orders (if any) for SZ 6 please

[nerquen]

ok, I can look now

[nerquen]

I don’t scramble, and I use 5 kamikadze: 2 on Batleship, 1 on each cruiser and 1 on a destroyer

[DaddyK]

After sleeping on it, I would like to redo the American move.  While my version of the Doolittle raid may produce some exciting action, I think for a first game I would like to switch to something more mundane.  However, since you have revealed a response I will leave it up to you (actually the response I expected).  Let me know what you would like to do.

[nerquen]

go ahead Robert and redo your move… but please explain me what was your plan with this attack on Korea… I am really curious and I won’t find out now, when you redo it… I though I would just kill all US pacific fleet in J3 from FIC and retake Korea. Did you simply forget about my fleet at FIC or did you have some great plan I am overlooking?

[DaddyK]

Yes I expected to lose the rest of the ships in sz 6, but when I calculated the odds on the Korea attack I accidently left out the 6 ground units from FIC (without those I hold Korea).  The plan was then to fly in the 4 US and 3 Anzac planes (and possibly build an IC) to fend off or put a big dent in the greater air force you could bring to bear on J4.  The overall idea being to save India by drawing enough stuff north (even if I could not ultimately hold Korea).  Even before I discovered the miscalculation I had concluded I was fighting too dicey a battle on your home turf.  Thanks for letting me redo the turn.

[DaddyK]

By the way, when you said to scramble in SZ 97, did you realize that I will have a destroyer in the battle (from sz 81) along with the planes from Malta?
