DM (Allies) vs. Innohub (Axis) 42 2E

[DarthMaximus]

@innohub:

Haha, you are right.  Other than that your opening looks solid!  I think you will be tough to deal with  :evil:

I’m not sure if I did the sz 7 correctly as you expected.  But we both had bad dices and it turns out the result is the same regardless.

Cheers

I’ve got a ton of experience with Classic, Revised, and AA50, and for the most part most strategies can carryover in some form or another.  I just have to get used to the new board.  For me the biggest adjustments are the new Atlantic and UK having the IC in India.  Oh and the $6 tank keeps throwing me off.  :-)

Yeah, sz 7 was fine.  It is tricky with the German subs attacking.  If one of those hits and you take the hit on the BB, and then a ftr hits, you lose your BB since the planes can’t hit the sub without a DD.  So if you automatically take the first hit on the BB, and Germany scores 1 sub and 1 ftr hit, the BB is sunk and you only get one roll from your BB.  BUT if you take the first hit on the Russian sub (that gets to fire back anyway) and then the ftr hit can be taken on the BB so you’ll end up getting at least two rolls from your BB assuming Ger doesn’t just get 3 hits.

I like that German opening too (or maybe that should be I don’t like it. :) )
I can see why the ftr or 2 to arch as a just in case is probably a better play then just putting them in Mos.

I should get to UK later today.

Yes, one thing I like in 42 2E is Germany now has more options to start an opening.

If you attack SZ53, submarine would stay and fight - sub –>Cruiser–>fighter --> Carrier.

I bought 40 Europe and Pacific 40 2nd but only played Pacific once  :x.  It’s not easy to find life person to play face to face (not even talk about global…)

I always wanted to try 50AA - heard that was one of the best at all time…

I was getting an error about posting so I submitted it again, but I guess the turn posted a couple times.  I was worried there for a second.

Yeah, AA50 is pretty good.  It had some neat changes, added in Ita, bigger board, china was a minor nation, etc.
The only game I actually own is Classic, I picked up Revised and AA50 on the boards here and mostly played those online.  Yeah to hard to find face to face players.

No worry about the error - I think it’s due to recent update of the server.  Normally you logged in and try repost it would work : -)
