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

[gamerman01]

@wittmann:

I will swap the TT for Inf and Mech.

OK - it’s a good idea to post your combat move after you make a purchase change, to clearly establish that you made the change before rolling dice.
I could check your dice time stamp, but it’s nice if I don’t have to….

Curious why you move units one zone at a time?  Harder to follow…

[Witt]

I would never change a purchase after rolling dice. I am an honourable man. My word counts.

Not sure what you mean by a zone at a time, unless you mean not moving all the move in one go. I think it is because I am using too small a screen. I have bad eyesight and would rather have a bigger resolution (it that is the term). That is why I sometines non combat units in Combat Move (illegally), in case I forget later. Playing on a screen in not the same as playing on a board. I am very forgiving of others’ mistakes, but do not expect the same of my opponents unless we are good friends. People know I don’t cheat.
I am trying not to do non combat movement in Combat Phase  with you, as this is League and you are the Rules Deputy!

[gamerman01]

Yeah, no need to be defensive, I trust you, I’m just giving you a tip that conveniently makes it clear that you are changing the purchase before you roll - I do it every time

Didn’t mean to come across defensive. I think you know me. Sorry to overdo it.
Am tired and have a cold and will probably be awoken in 6 hours by my daughter.

Incidentally, I meant to commend you on your  agressive (and great) play. I have had to pull back everywhere. And it is only T5 or 6 (?) . Have never felt so pressured before. I am out of my depth, playing you.

Mech: really? I expected a DD. Interesting.
Russia is now your goal. Easy money for Germany; will take your income ahead of mine and so far you are costing me more, as it is.

Can do my go. But am tired.

[Witt]

Ok, she will be awake in 5 hours. Shit, it is after one! I  had a very busy night at the restaurant. Wine and peanuts now.

I even had this written in my notes and I forgot until I was posting the move.  I meant to sink the transport in 99 with a fighter going from Rome to Rostov, but didn’t see it during combat movement I had so much going on….

If you allow…

[Witt]

Of course. I noticed Itsly did not, so guessed was Germany was  instead.
I did ask myself afterwards, why I felt I had to tske Greece. Was something to do with safeguarding my 98 fleet, but afterwards thought thst was unnecessary anyway. Was replacing it as you saw, but then realised I did not have an inf for the new TT!
Probsbly a mistake and a waste of my only TT.
My UK problems go back to not having one single Ft on England 3 turns back. Infuriating!
I hope you get a good night’s sleep.

@wittmann:

I hope you get a good night’s sleep.

I did, and actually got about 7 hours!  Thanks!

[gamerman01]

Did you want to move your Russian AA in China?  Wondered if you forgot it - it’s easy to do when a piece is not where it normally is.  Looks like you maybe have a Yunnan stack that you were planning to protect with it.

I’ve been playing a huge Japan move and then a Germany move, so am tired of playing this game tonight anyway, so I can wait.

[Witt]

Thanks for asking. Yes, I did plan to do so.
I thought I had. I did mean to put it with the 12 Inf and FT, by Yunnan. I thought yiur German Bomber might attack it, so I think I left one Chinese Inf with it last turn.

Thanks again for noticing and asking.
Probably unnecessary reposting, as you have downloaded the original file and commented already!
Have a good day.

[gamerman01]

Looks like I forgot about my German bomber in the Carolines last turn and you have stopped me from getting my money island.  Hmph.  Well, I’ll just pretend the bomber would have failed, and now I still have the threat.  You aren’t going away fast enough, Wittman, so I’ll have to keep the heat up

[gamerman01]

Oh, never mind, the way is still open through 55  :-D

[Witt]

If it is, I missed that. Thought was better to deny you 9 IPCs, than block my capital. You omly have one TT that can reach.
