Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

[Credulous]

To where? I’d really rather it stays where it is….

[Credulous]

I think I see what you’re thinking (Western Aus). But its kind of unfair on Leo and Adam if you keep improving the non-coms.

Cred

[Elrood]

No no
I am considering stacking burma. But i hadnt had time to check if the numbers add up.
Will know tomorrow before I make my move.

I dont know how much you need the fig in Oz, but landing in burma now means he will be close to the true action fast (india and eventually moscow. Once that path is closed by japan it will be much harder to get there.
Also: I need to check the rules, but it could be that you can also land on a dutch island…

I let you know

[Elrood]

@Credulous:

What are you talking about?  :?
1. “Improving” would imply that i know better than you and what I come up with is more reasonable. This is not true. Its just “different” what I might have in mind
2. Usually US and UK would even have to align their combat moves etc. to make sense in an integrated strategy - what I am (may be) requesting here is a different landing spot for one freakin fighter!  :|
3. Adam and Leo: you deem that unfair in any degree?  :wink:

[Credulous]

Ok - well looking at the map Western Australia would definitely have been a better landing spot which is why I used the word ‘improved’ as I was thinking that’s what you had spotted.

I’d rather keep the fighter in Australia if poss,but if you need it in Burma desperately and Adam and Leo are cool with it, then I am happy to go along with that.

Cred

[Witt]

We had rather it had died on the Philippines.
Stick it where you want boys. We won’t judge.

Here… is that enough spirit of adventure for you?!  :evil:

:lol:

[Elrood]

Ans also… Cred… you need bloody Carriers! These will win us the War…

Not a bunch of show planes!  :roll:

[Elrood]

tipp: If the US would have landed in Marokko… it would have meant:

• French unit for Allies (now it will get converted to Axis Neutral in French turn)
• 6 IPCs more for US (1 for Marocco and 5 for the US objective)

Just saying…  8-)

I considered but decided better to ensure Gibraltar looked like an untempting target (based on the pain of trying to capture it in the last game - Adam is still going through counselling). That included factoring the additional French unit.

And there will of course be carriers. Lots of them.

[Elrood]

@Credulous:

Now you are talking!  :-D

[Private-Panic]

I am sorry - am I on the wrong page - is this your private lovers page or are Leo and I also allowed to post here?  :?

You certainly seem to have frightened him off this morning!  :roll:

[Witt]

It is Maddy’s 7th birthday. Had a house full of people, now just 8. Lunch and work. Hope yo do Italy, before 5, but might be considered grounds for divorce!

War cannot be won without sacrifices!  :evil:

Are you still married Leo?

I hope that Maddy had a wonderful day and there were no hissy-fits from any of the little terrors?

[Witt]

Maddy has been so good today. Has been a pleasure spending the day with her.
She is completing the Friends Amusement Park Lego set.
I am tired; I think because I have a rotten cold.

Italy had a good turn . I do have Seb’s blasted Battkeship off Gib though . Silly man. Why bring it in my Sea!
