Regularkid (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies) - G40 Balance Mod (0 bid)

[gamerman01]

I was very hesitant to not have the fleet in Z80, and after all that concentration, you never took Iraq - whee!

[gamerman01]

I am moving the cruiser through the Panama canal during combat movement so I don’t forget it - they look the same color (you probably know how to change the color of ANZAC units?  Can you tell me?)

Had to edit because Triple A wrongly doesn’t allow it

[gamerman01]

Whew - great dice there……

[regularkid]

i’m in California. a bit insomniac tho :-o

[gamerman01]

Cool, that is ideal for me (California and insomniac too)

Well at least you missed the convoy damage in 42 so you collect more - I don’t feel so bad now

[gamerman01]

I’ll admit it - I can already say I love the balanced mod even though I’m not fully raking in the cash yet because USSR isn’t allowed to the party
I do think it’s weighted too much for the Allies - too many NO’s added, I think.  But it’s early, I acknowledge

It doesn’t take me long to tell -
You can hold your own, kid!
I was a little worried when I saw you sink the destroyer in 98 because I wasn’t sure you’d taken TrJ and I wondered if your fleet would be dead in the water, but nope - solid move.  J1 looked crazy to me, but it looked a lot better after J2 for you!

Your turn, game on

@Gamerman01:

I do think it’s weighted too much for the Allies - too many NO’s added, I think.  But it’s early, I acknowledge

thanks. that means a lot. definitely nice to have a pro put the mod through its paces. and i’m looking forward to your full review at the end of the game.

[gamerman01]

I have no problem at all with the edit to East Poland because there were no dice rolled (or any that would have any effect)
The sooner you develop the habit of only moving necessary combat moves during the combat movement phase, the better  :-)

Man, I was not expecting to score two hits in 113 and get missed by the AA

I assumed loss of sub and destroyer in 113 - is that correct?
I scored 2 hits in Baltic States - keep infantry or AAA?

[regularkid]

yes thats correct

[regularkid]

kill AAA

Sorry for delay - it was my nap time  :-)
Back now, and you’re the only one of 3 players who has responded with a decision in the middle of my turn  :-P

Whoops, just realized you now control a naval base in 98, so I need to move the Red October to a different zone…
