L13 G40 PGMatt (axis) vs Gamer (allies +10) +tech game 2

[Seador]

@Gamerman01:

Out-teching me again!!

At least it’s not paras or rockets

Cruiser is on her own.  No scramble, sub submerges immediately

there was that version of AnA with targeted research, before AA50 came out.  My brother and I felt that buying rockets for Germany G1 was game breaking; they started with 3 or 4 launchers in range of Allied factories.  I like tech tokens to take some of the pain out of research knowing you’ll eventually get something for your money but target research was too much!

I have to admit though, in their current form, Rockets are very powerful.

[gamerman01]

Not only current form, but FINAL form, apparently.

In Revised (the one where you could pick your tech), you still had to roll a 6 and there were no tokens, so I don’t see how going for rockets G1 was game-breaking.  Bet it hurt when you missed.  How many dice did you guys roll for them?  :-)

Well, I didn’t get LRA, but Jets was a very nice dice there.

I’ll trade that “6” so early in the game for the extra AA hit in Aussie any day!

[gamerman01]

You attacked Australia?  Man, I’ll have to check that out.

2 techs already, eh?  Neither I nor any of my opponents has hit the elusive LRA yet.  I think I’ve experienced all the others in G40 play so far.

Need Z97 scramble decision - remember to say which ones

I’ll scramble 2 German and 1 Italian fighter.  I don’t think I can give OOL without seeing the dice beyond the first 2 hits (BB and DD) My goal would be to save the BB and TR, but I can see a case where I would chance losing the dice on D and take fighters over CAs.

You attacked Australia?  Man, I’ll have to check that out.

What would you be checking out if you can tell me without compromising your game?

[gamerman01]

@PGMatt:

I just meant that I hadn’t looked at the map yet and was eager to see what you did and how it went.

No problem - I rarely give advance OOL’s myself because so many different things can happen.  Some people have no problem with it.

Rolling dice now

[gamerman01]

Well, I only GOT 2 hits in the first round

My luck lately……

CRAPPY

[gamerman01]

Always helps to complain, I always say

Your return fire was about equally crappy

[gamerman01]

A mere 2 hits a piece in the first round, and then I got a good roll for 4 hits.  Confident you would take max defense here

[gamerman01]

Well, I guess it’s time to eat anyway, so I’ll wait for your choice.

[Seador]

yeah, max defense.  I’ll keep the BB and the Italian fighter.

[gamerman01]

You got an equally nice roll, so I won’t feel guilty, that’s for sure

[gamerman01]

UK wins with 2 CA, dBB remaining
(All air lost)
Will finish turn when I finish eating
