15L G40 Wittman (+21) v Gamerman01 (Axis)


  • And it’s 21 aircraft AFTER Larry shaved about 5? planes from their starting set up.  Seriously, what was he thinking with 1st edition lol.  There was such a huge disparity between the Europe board strength and the Pacific it was completely laughable.  He shaved planes off the Allies in the Pacific also.


  • I bought the 1st edition too, so I do know.
    I realise I can use the CV for the US, thanks, but can’t afford to lose it, and it won’t help with the Uk.
    I am in a bit of a pickle.


  • Right, though I would certainly have liked to come away with a bomber or two, that hit on the carrier was big and I’m lucky I got it, after it was down to bomber vs. carrier


  • Yeah, I’m going to bed….

    You are definitely a respectable player, and not a pushover.  It looks like you have the Germans slowed down in Russia, if not pretty much stopped.  Although I haven’t been trying really hard to push through Russia, because I don’t think I need to, you’re doing several things well.

    This is not flattery or just trying to say nice things - I’m sincere


  • I also do not have a very strong front line with the Japs across Asia.  I almost never prioritize Egypt or India, so you have the bastions there that my opponents always do.  I prioritize fleet and air strength with Japan and Germany more than most

    You talk about folding quicker against me than you’re used to, but I can tell you, your position is pretty decent.  It is not unusual at all for me to accept a resignation between round 3 and 5, and there is no way you should even be thinking that way at this point, so keep up the good playing


  • Yeah, zone 8 is probably gonna hurt pretty bad, but I like the move of hoping for a hit from 2 infantry and losing the plane first.  It’s a veteran move, especially out in the middle of the Pacific - the dice just didn’t cooperate for you.  Though it’s still kind of nice to kill 2 infantry without any losses…

  • OK, I think they improved the Triple A handling of SBR a bit, but it’s still not right.  It rolled both AA together in India even though I was trying to bomb 2 different facilities.

    The first die was a 1, which I would normally think of as the tactical bomber - weakest to strongest, so I removed it.  If you take issue with that, we can roll a die to determine which aircraft was shot down.


  • No, is fine thanks.
    I see I have Nips a plenty in my backyard. Ouch!
    Goodnight.


  • Nice guys finish last  :lol:

  • Morning. Scramble to Carolines?


  • No


  • My one sub hit. Can I take the Carrier as first casualty? I am not trying to take the Aleutians and we cabn edit it back and the planes back on, if necessary.


  • it is that or a Sub.


  • got 4 more, so took both your Subs and two of the DDS


  • I am afraid te luck is with me and I might sink the DDs.
    You only hit 3 times, so I lost all 3 DDs, leaving Sub, Ft. Ft and Bb.
    My sub hit again and I took off your DD, so you still have the Carrier. I will lose my Sub straightaway, so I cannot only hit the damaged Carrier.


  • You only got one hit that round, then the lone Ft hit again on the last round. I did maximum defence, but yiy got none of the rolls. I hope you do not think that I did anything wrong.
