Pasted

Well, at least I have you down to 4  :-P

Nice shootin’, Tex

Will check back soon for scramble decision in 110

[gamerman01]

Shall I submit to you the names of the poor brainwashed young Japanese men who perished so that others (future transportees) may perish?  :wink:

[Seador]

OK.  I’m playing from work and it’s month end this weekend so play time is very tight.  I’ll keep chipping away.

[gamerman01]

Even though I have been victimized by 50%+ hit rates of kamikazes in the last 3 games (Karl hit me 4/6 on a major fleet battle that he subsequently won),

I think kamikazes are one of the coolest add-ons to A&A ever.  I’m glad he ditched the stupid pre-requisite, too (who wants to keep track of the odd islands that trigger Kamikazes?  Not me)

They are still restricted to specfic zones I think; you’re just talking about the actual conditions to apply them right?

I cant see a way to edit out the tokens, I made a game comment in the log and we’ll just have to remember.

in for a penny, in for a pound.  One shot at the UK, so here goes.

I’ll need scramble orders to proceed.

[gamerman01]

Sounds like a British saying - appropriate

So I will use a German saying

NEIN  :-D

Scramble orders coming right up

[gamerman01]

Now I am the one to blunder and not save.  You caught me by surprise from the west
I could have blocked it completely with cruiser to 119
Oh well, I’m afraid you still have little chance!
Bummer to finally get a tech and not get one that helps with a big attack

Hope you don’t lose the 10%er…

Scramble all 3 to Z109

Enjoy your bombed-out factory  :x

[gamerman01]

Cool that you got radar, so I’ve already seen
super subs
jets
improved yards (no graphics change)
heavy bombers
radar

increased production
improved mech (no graphics change IIRC)
paratroopers (no graphics change)
war bonds (wait, this was in Battlemap, but I doubt there’s a graphics improvement in TripleA)

That leaves
Rockets
Advanced Artillery
Long Range Aircraft

as the only 3 I haven’t seen in-game…
I wonder if any of these 3 have different graphics…  I guess I will have to wait and see.  If you know, please don’t spoil me  :-)

[gamerman01]

Now that was 10 IPC’s well spent

RADAR

WOW!

The only real issue I see with the west assult is that it’s a one and done, like I said earlier.  With you still having a fleet and being so far from europe, my TRs should be dead here shortly.

Me too!  That was the best I could set up for though.

That might be the best part of taking London though, the wreck of the major.

I had good dice there, you did get a wee bit bent.

[gamerman01]

Well, you just let USSR and USA in the war a round early  :evil:
Time to wreak havoc

Stalin is shedding no tears over London… In fact, he’s all the happier!

Brace yourself, mein Feuhrer!!

[gamerman01]

@PGMatt:

Yeah, it’s always bad when an opponent says this

You SMASHED me with dice

Ah, the higher they rise, the harder they fall…

[gamerman01]

You didn’t lose a one, single aircraft.  That is sick, man

I will show no mercy, for I have been shown none!

[Seador]

@Gamerman01:

I will show no mercy, for I have been shown none!

That’s because I had radar in them…they were able to dodge the bullets.

[gamerman01]

Hey, that makes sense!  Except I don’t think radar helps you dodge bullets…
It does help you know where my planes were… and they were obviously lost in the London fog

Sorry, forgot to walk into Amu - I was definitely intending to combat move in there regardless of the result in Siberia
