Eggman (Axis) vs. Miamiumike (Allies +6)

[Eqqman]

@miamiumike:

That all being said - as you point out this is not a league game and is really just supposed to be fun for us and maybe a way to experiment (if we choose to). So - let’s move the game back to the end of Japan 1. Russia’s turn is not going to be affected either way by the update to the German setup - though, UK most certainly will.

Not a problem.  Just load up the Japan map and edit 3 Fighters from Holland to W. Germany.  Thanks for understanding.

[Eqqman]

I should also point out I’m only annoyed at myself, it’s exactly the kind of boneheaded move I expected to make after switching sides.

[miamiumike]

Not a problem my friend!

Game on….

I signed up for one of those free file hosting services a while ago just so I could handle problems like we currently have and you can’t do an upload.

@miamiumike:

UK1

Since I didn’t get asked for a scramble, I presume that the SZ97 attack didn’t happen, which was my actual trap…

The eventual efficacy of said trap remains an open question!

[miamiumike]

Correct - I let the Italian fleet live….for now…and did my best to slow them down…

[Eqqman]

I just want to check, are you hoping to scramble in SZ109 and 110?  Since each Air Base can send up a maximum of only 3 Fighters that you have to split between each SZ you want to defend.

Europe 2e page 16:

In situations where a territory containing an Air base is adjacent to more than one SZ (United Kingdom and SZs 109 & 110, for example), the territory may still only scramble up to 3 Fighters and/or Tactical Bombers, but they may be split between in the SZs in any combination.

[miamiumike]

All depends on what you come with in each SZ I guess…

[Eqqman]

@miamiumike:

All depends on what you come with in each SZ I guess…

I just want to make sure that because you piled up everything in London you’re not thinking you have all 6 Fighters available to scramble, it’s still just 3.

[miamiumike]

Correct - understood. One airbase = max 3 planes per turn….

I’m already unhappy with my Japanese war plan, but if I ever play Axis again I’ll have a better evil scheme.
