I ripped it off from Roscoe P. Coltraine of the Dukes of Hazzard

Will look at your tech roll later - gotta run

Heavy bombers only apply to strategic bombers, although Triple A changes the graphics for tac bombers as well.  But tac bombers get no upgrade.

1 hit per plane max.  It’s best of 2 dice.  For SBR’s as well.

[gamerman01]

You can out-tech me at this point with G/J/I 'cause I can only really buy it with USA and Russia right now  :-)

You’re right - that’s a “bit” of a tech roll  :wink:  2 techs on 5 dice is only half of a roll, but it could be the start of one.

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=29763.0

How about 4 techs on 10 dice, with USA getting 3 consecutive techs with 1 die?

Jeff is being victimized as well
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=29721.new#new
Not sure how many attempts I’ve made on that one - not too many - I rarely buy 2 at a time, and I think you’re a crazy man for spending 10 on tech on R1 vs. Karl  :-)  Or that you really love getting techs!  And fun is the name of the game.

Surprised Karl is playing with tech after playing me a couple times.

I don’t understand all these players who play tech and then don’t buy any at all.  (Karl, Allweneed, Jeff, to name a few)  :-)

OK, time for the wicked US/UK combo!

Wait.  Time for the wicked USA combo!  :lol:

[gamerman01]

Aw, man!  No graphics improvement for advanced artillery?  That’s a major disappointment.

Karl and I are playing with tokens, not just straight tech.  To me, that makes an early investment the best one so I did it with russia, and probably got the single tech I wanted most for them.

I like tech because it can make a rapid change to the strategy or standard play outs, but I hate tech games where you invest and invest and invest and get nothing.  So, I prefer tokens.  Mostly, I also like to limit any power to a couple techs per chart max too.

[gamerman01]

Tokens?  That explains a lot.  Is that even allowed in league play?  Jenn probably didn’t specify.

I was inspired by Krieg saying that it was cut for budget reasons, and to go ahead and play with it if you like.

Need KAMIKAZE decisions in 6 - you have 4 remaining
Need SCRAMBLE decision in 6
Need SCRAMBLE decision in 95

The Americans mean business!

[gamerman01]

Attacking Italian fleet and Japanese fleet right next to their capitals with maximum 3 plane scrambles and kamikazes, and invading true neutrals all at the same time??

Might be too aggressive.  Depends on what the dice do.

[gamerman01]

Eh, probably should establish retreat routes.

I’m traveling through 17 and 18 to 6, and through 93 and 94 to 95.  May need to edit, if the unthinkable happens and I have to retreat.  I didn’t establish the different routes in TripleA, so I’m doing that now, before dice are thrown

[gamerman01]

@PGMatt:

I was inspired by Krieg saying that it was cut for budget reasons, and to go ahead and play with it if you like.

Yeah, I remember that now that you say it.

They could have still allowed it in the rulebook without spending a penny!  Just don’t produce the actual tokens - we could use something else for them!  I mean, we don’t even have paper money any more

Full Kami:  DD, DD, CA, CA.
OK, full scramble in both.  OOL z6:  CV, DD, DD, CV, DD, FT (x5)

50% kamikaze hits once again, and you nailed a cruiser!  AAAAAAA!

[gamerman01]

Heart stopping
I only scored ONE hit in Spain and the Spanish pasted me for THREE

But then I knocked out the other 5 without loss……  Craziness!

[gamerman01]

After getting smashed by kamikazes, the Americans respond with an unbelievable attack roll!

Man, I don’t get the people who play low luck

[gamerman01]

Oh, man
I retract the remark about kamikaze success

You just got dice-raped close to Tokyo for the 2nd consecutive Allied turn.
Maybe the Italians will do better.

Maybe.
