Hitler joins the Pacific party also … decided to attack India defended by 8 instead of Moscow defended by 80…

[gamerman01]

Pretty scathing dice, too….
You talked about playing games off-line - must have been quite a few, no?  You’re showing a lot of experience.  UK imploding on both sides of the map really made this tough.  Your 2 bomb runs over India were very effective, mine over FIC - boom

o yes, India bombings worked better than expected, but these were my first bombings in this game. Bombing is way less lucrative in this mod, good to see that at least occasionally there still is some happening,

I played couple of G40 games before, but I am still learning here.

[gamerman01]

I don’t think there would be much less bombing.  Fighters escort at 2 also, and if there is much of an escort at all, it shields the bombers.  And escorts aren’t even always needed, if there is a small number of potential interceptors…

[regularkid]

yah, in my experience, the change to the air raid values doesn’t really deter players from making strategic bombing when it would otherwise be advisable in a vanilla game. It does, however, promote interceptions.

true… escorts help… I guess the reason I did not really bomb until now was more that Axis powers were quite busy on all fronts, I never had some bombers (preferably with escorts) to spare  for a bombing raid… or I did not want  to risk them against AA shots

[gamerman01]

Exactly

Alright, Mr. Bumper, do you send kamikazes at my cruiser in Z20?

[nerquen]

yes, 5 kamikaze, as for SZ6, the OOL are Cruiser, fighters, DD last

[gamerman01]

Alright, like you said this was a cursed game for me
86% you hit with a kamikaze, and you did.  With only 1 kamikaze left I think I had a shot at doing major damage in 6 and possibly even staying alive.  But my 60% chance to clear with a sub over a destroyer failed.
Perfect storm.  You played great, you ambushed me by being nearly an unknown in the league, and you had the right strategy for Axis in the balanced mod game.
Good game, I would ask for rematch but can’t do until April

[nerquen]

Thanks for the game Gamerman, was fun here and I would be up for a rematch once you get available. Good luck with your deadline.

[gamerman01]

Thanks, it is getting stressful and I’ll be glad when it’s met  :-)
Are you playing anyone else?  Will you be here for me in April?

[nerquen]

I am not playing any other game now and I guess I shall be available for you in April, just shoot me a message when you are.
