  • my attempt to disable London’s airfield failed :( also I forgot to combat move to Ethiopia, so I edited it, hope it is ok


  • I didn’t even think of the bomber attacking the airfield.  I was more focused on your planes taking out the french cruiser.  Glad that the dice was on my side.

    No problem with the Ethiopia edits.  I don’t want to beat you from small move mistakes; I want to crush you by lucky dice rolling :evil: .  I hope that you don’t object that I let my son press the space bar for me.  He seems to give good electrons to random number generators.


  • hehe… thanks for advice, maybe I shall ask my boys for help with dice rolling. Man this game is getting desperate for Axis. Germany is considering suiciding itself on London… at least it will be over fast, probably better than a long torturing in desperate Barbarossa.

  • Barborossa is getting increasingly difficult since you had to spend one round on navy and a second round rebuilding your airforce back to the starting strength.  You can easily get one territory into Russia, but the second one will be difficult to defend.  If Russia can keep earning 35 PUs for a few more turns, it is going to be a very tough drive to Moscow.  On the other side of the world, the US should have no difficulty containing Japan with two more rounds of spending on navy.  The +9 US bonus makes it very tough on the Japanese since I always do KJF.

  • After that third round of bad dice rolling for your German Navy, do you want to call it a game?  With the +9 for the US and the lost planes, I think that this game is over.  Your thoughts?


  • I agree no hope for Germany for anything in this game… I tried one last desperate attempt but did not work again 4:9 hits in the first round forced me to retreat. If you would prefer to keep a DD in SZ109 just edit, but then please edit my sub to my TT.


  • I would play for little longer just to practice some defense, but I agree, no hope to win this game.

  • Hi, you probably missed my bombing request, see above. I can run the bombing raid now. just let me know if you want to intercept with any of your 2 fighters. After we know result of the bombing I will ask you how you want to change your move.


  • Sorry, I missed your original message and couldn’t understand the second one.  To make it simpler and not have to redo my turn: don’t intercept your bombers with my fighters, subtract my India purchase, and credit me the PUs.


  • Ok I just ran the bombing raid, AA missed and the damage is 11, you can still potentially repaired 2 damage and then buy 1 infantry and would be left with 1 IPC. Shall I do that? Or you really want +6 IPC on UK pacific account and no builds at all?
