13L G40 Jenn vs Boldfresh (+48 Allies) + no tech

[Karl7]

@seththenewb:

Bold, I’m giving her all the advice I can think of! Deal with it!  :evil:

Jenn,
I find the single most important terr is Greenland. You should build an airbase and naval base on it as soon as you can. Also, ensure that you keep at least 10 ground units backed up by fighters and bombers on it as a garrison. It also helps if you have a nice fleet around it. I usually find that 4 loaded carriers + dd/subs is enough, but sometimes you might need a 5th or even 6th carrier. Another often overlooked terr is French madagascar, although you should be fine with garrisoning it with half the above forces.

:roll:

Wow Seth… pretty bad.  Everyone knows Crete is the key to the entire game.

[seth4god]

Yeah, but Bold knows this as well and I’m sure he’ll win the race to garrison it. I bet that Jenn won’t be able to crack Crete before turn 15.

[Omega1759]

I’ll give advice to Jen in exchange for popcorn! :-D

Where is the popcorn smilie when needed!

I disagree, the best Allied strategy is for Russia to build a minor in Caucasus and build a battle fleet there. Once the fleet is strong enough, you build transports and put all your original land units on the transports to keep them safe.

Jenn this thread title looks like i have the allies with +48 can you please edit?

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.7.0.3, time: 22:04:54

[Jennifer]

I distrust the advice of my cohorts.  Those who succeed rarely enjoy having a large throng of others who succeed with them, just ask Dogbert!  (Dogbert’s Book of Managerial Rules.  Get a copy, heathens!)

I’ve played one round of this game in TripleA.  Bid placement worked great there, Arathorn’s afraid to come out and play round 2…okay okay, fine, so he also got smushed by the dice a little, nothing drastic, I just think he over extended so a bad set of dice is compounded…he claims to be coming back or be back by now, I dunno, told him he could post in July again. :P

As for my balanced approach, part of that is to do with the 1 unit per territory restriction.  Otherwise, AC+2 Fighters+2 Submarines in SZ 98 would be really nice to have, kill Italy off and keep them from growing through application of CRD!!

BTW, that’s a typo on Sea Zone 99, it should be 98.  Per league bidding rules, you cannot place naval units in sea zones you do not start with naval units present in anyway, but yea that cruiser’s supposed to be with the Egyptian fleet, just to clarify.

• 1 Infantry in Belarus (Russian)
• 1 Infantry in Western Ukraine (Russian)
• 1 Artillery in Novgorod (Russian)
• 1 Artillery in Caucasus (Russian)
• 1 Armor in Buryatia (Russian)
• 1 Artillery in Szechwan (Chinese)
• 1 Artillery in Kweichow (Chinese)
• 1 Destroyer in SZ 91 (British)
• 1 Cruiser in SZ 98 (British) {corrected for typo}

Note, I checked the others, just to make sure I had territory names correct.  Infantry/Artillery for Russia should be behind the front lines a step (or Caucasus) with an Armor on the Far East.  China’s got a pair of Artillery flanking Yunnan, honestly couldn’t think of a better place to put them and wanted a pair for China since they rarely get to build more (at least they rarely did in Alpha 2) and the British have a naval unit added to the warships on both sides of the Med.

Nope, don’t have mod powers here.  Probably a good thing overall, what with a certain mister someone who used to always bellyache that I was cheating or whatever (even though he refused to ever PLAY a game here!) and I avoided using his name specifically so we wouldn’t get into a discussion about it in a game thread!

It’s fine, I shoulda put Axis/Allies after our names, but I’m sellin the house, starting a new job outta state and have kids on summer break, been a bit busy!

the cruiser has to go to z98 which is what i think you meant

[boldfresh]

need your choices in 110 and 111

[Jennifer]

@Boldfresh:

need your choices in 110 and 111

Gyah ANOTHER new version of TripleA?  Gotta get the 1.7 engine, still on 1.6.1.4 or whatever it is (1.6 something) Might have to give you scramble in the morning or something not sure yet.  It’s always a major hassle upgrading TripleA for me, I have too many OS’s and partitions on my drives to make anything java based work the first time. lol

[Jennifer]

and we’re back to the whole “needs java runtime environment” bug again…

I’ll screw with it tomorrow and see if I can recreate the file in 1.6 which is currently working and I don’t have a clue what I did anymore to make it work.

PMed you to get an email address so I can recreate the file in the last stable platform of the game that worked. (ya know, never had these problems with battlemap, just sayin! :P  Simple, lightweight, I can make it work on my DROID! heck it even works on crapples without effort, battlemap.  lol.  I’ll get 1.7 one day, probably in October when the playoffs start cause I like to actually see the games of the playoffs as they progress…)

[Jennifer]

Starting map:

[Jennifer]

German map as I have it.  Assuming it’s right (it should be) no scramble for SZ 110 or SZ 111

Nope.  No scrambles for either sea zone.
