Grendal: Do you want to scramble your Tactical fighter at sz 39? It defends on a 3; the subs are defending at a 1.

[Erinmore]

Grendal - if you check the “Notes” section of the game -over on the right hand side bar, and come down a little ways, it says “Rules the engine does not cover, but should.”  One of those rules covers sea zones. Technically, while the USA and Japan are at war, USA cannot end its turn there.  Please move your ships to an allowed territory.

Also, the battle calculator says you have zero chance of winning the sea battle with or without the fighter. With it, I’m likely to have 5 surviving units. Without it, 6 survivors. With that in mind, going to finish combat. Will save just prior to battle.  If you wanted Tact in battle, can re-roll it post combat and adjust casualties on board. As you are in Saudi Arabia and me here…seems silly to hold up game on an item that is unlikely to affect play. That is, if tables were turned, there is NO WAY I would scramble.

[Erinmore]

just rolled the battle @ sz 39; 3 subs - zero hits. Me? 4 hits.  I don’t think you want to trade your tactical for a hit on me, but if you do - we can edit game. Let me know.

[Erinmore]

Grendal - wondering if you have played this version much?  Also, if you want to have a game where we flip sides? Maybe play both games at same time?

[Grendal]

Like I first mentioned when we started corresponding, I play NWO type games generally and am not as good on these original axis and allies games. Haven’t even read the rules yet! Sorry.

[Erinmore]

no apologies.  I really like playing Axis and Allies. Very fun game.  However, there are lots of things regular players focus on … As you are brand new player to this game, if it is okay, will share some insight with you --if that is okay.

[Grendal]

yes insight is always good. go ahead.

[Erinmore]

Top of list: if you lose your capital, I get your IPC’s and you have no way to rebuild.  Russia is at risk. You have a lot of expensive gear way out East - what can you gain there? Nothing. If I take those territories, you will lose one IPC here, one there.  Look at your forces near Moscow - easy pickings for Germany. Concentrate your reserves and buy infantry.  Generally speaking - never leave units on boats. I lost my sub and bomber trying to sink your boats. Bad move on my part, but target was too tempting.  Same info goes for UK Pacific - very at risk.  Allies - can win if you focus all your power for USA on one side of board.  Dutch New Guinea is worth a 5 ipc bonus to Anzac.  Sea 16 - japs - is a blocker - your forces can’t get into Japan with that destroyer there.  Brazil is worth $$ and men to Allies - so take it with USA on turn 4 or sooner with Brits.  Don’t enter the Med with your ships - not enough gear. A lot of players load up @ Gibraltar, use it as a Rallying point and move cargo there. From that point, you can attack Normandy and reinforce UK or enter Med - in 3 turns.  You are at risk of losing a Production facility on the board.  (going to help you - not going to spell it all out).
