[Black_Elk]

Well that wasn’t exactly the German turn I was hoping for.  :-D

Not sure what compelled me to SBR, it wasn’t really my plan to begin with, but I guess your American raid had me riled up demanding a response, or maybe it was Ukraine. Now I rather wish I’d stayed in place with the Luftwaffe. Didn’t get much in exchange for the opening I just allowed. The Western Allies in the Atlantic will be harder to dislodge. But I suppose those are the breaks.

At least that bomber paid for himself before he went down, with the early DD strike and the Carrier kill. Alas, his Iron Crosses are now trophies for some Ruskie AA gunner! hahah.

Screwed by the Russian AA gun once again! Down 24 ipcs in one round of reckless bombing, with little to show for it. Probably should have stayed home hehe.

Back to you FDR

[Black_Elk]

Well done with your RAF fighter positioning MagicQ. Those spitfires backed me off India, into a rather less exciting Australia escapade ;)

I suspect round 4 will be a grinder for Axis. You got G and J all turned around haha.
Catch you in a few dude.

Oh and that’s also to Wittand DM for the rules clarification. I should have stuck with my gut and waited a few more rounds before bombing, but even the +2 would not have helped me that round haha
;)

The bomber is just a smoldering pile of wreckage, in an empty field somewhere outside the city walls. Never dropped the payload
:-D

[MagicQ]

Thanks you, sir. Good job from Russian flak crew indeed. That really gives allies a little bit of hope for the time being. Have to do something in Atlantic theater, otherwise, it will just be a matter of time before Russia falls down  cos Russia is under overwhelming pressure from both sides. It seems Larry Harris made it a lot more difficult in Atlantic theater for allies in this version than Revised version.

Also thanks to wittmann and DM for the rule clarification.

[Black_Elk]

Yeah for sure, compared to previous A&A boards, it feels like everything in Atlantic takes a round longer to set up as the Allies. Fortunately for me, Axis can afford to take some losses.

My early move out will stall me up undoubtedly. Typically Axis will stack Belo and Yunnan for another round or two, in order to bring more fodder to the front, before making the big push. Belo aircraft in particular can force the Brits to wait even longer to build ships, but of course I predictably ignored my own sound advice and rushed in early haha.

Should be fun though. I enjoy a game where the stakes are high.

I’m at work now but I’ll be back later tonight, I can fire off G then, if USA/Russia get a chance to move. Catch you in a few

Clean Airblitz to Kwangtung! Well that’s certainly annoying haha  :-D

Its almost as if the Axis bombers were never even here to begin with! lol

I have to admit, given the amount of time it took to start this game initially, when you needed to study the rules, and the time it took between savegame exchanges during round 1 etc, I just figured you were were pretty new to the game. But I see now that you’ve clearly played plenty of A&A before, (noticed that you have concurrent G40 matches going on), so I guess it was just the 1942.2 board specifically that you were unfamiliar with?

The Axis will regret not being more conservative at the start haha. Serves me right. I suspect we may well lose this one on 10 VC win conditions, since I’ve been playing rather hard and fast. I imagine you’ll do fine going ahead in the Tournament after you knock me off, though we’re not done quite yet.
;)

Back to you FDR
