nice destroyers

[gamerman01]

Man, they were overdue…. My destroyers went 3/25 against airstrikes during the championship game…  I started tracking them because they were noticeably bad.  Too bad you were the guy there when they started hitting again, huh

[regularkid]

haha. yah, its unfortunate.

[regularkid]

bump

[JDOW]

Less then 72 hours?

[gamerman01]

Yeah, that bump totally doesn’t count.  And what gives??  I gave you 6 1/2 days without bumping!

[regularkid]

Hahaha just bein a d*ck.

[gamerman01]

hehe
Well now that I’m done with nerquen I turn my attention to you

[gamerman01]

.45% chance of a destroyer taking 2 or more bombers down when attacked by 3 bombers…… jeez was that lucky

[gamerman01]

Amphibious assaults to be conducted before all other  :-P  :-)

[gamerman01]

Have you thought about bombardment rules with marines?  If a cruiser/battleship unloads a marine does that bombarding ship have to attack the territory that the marine is attacking?

[gamerman01]

Casualty choice for Z6 please
I asked a question about bombarding with marines right before the move post

[regularkid]

@Gamerman01:

Have you thought about bombardment rules with marines?  If a cruiser/battleship unloads a marine does that bombarding ship have to attack the territory that the marine is attacking?

Yes we did give it some thought. For game-related reasons that I frankly can’t remember, it was ultimately agreed there should be no limitation on territory bombardment vis-a-vis marine unloading. So with marines, you’re free to bombard a different territory than u unload into.

[regularkid]

Just do default casualty selection plz

Ooh - I don’t know if I could remember that…… any chance it can go in the game notes??

[regularkid]

Sure. I’ll put a note in the next installment.

One thing I do wanna try to work out is a bidding system for Axis (to the extent it is necessary. . . I note that the Axis/Allies win ratio stands at about 50/50 right now).

I’m still partial to the idea of bidding NO-related territories or islands, rather than the NOs themselves. Keeps the NOs in play (with all the strategic depth/dynamism they add to the game), and requires less edit mode throughout the course of the game. I’m playing a league game right now, for example, where Axis was given Crete and Gilbert Islands to start. Seems to work pretty good. Thoughts?
