11L 41 Tyzoq (Axis) v Boldfresh (Allies+3) +Tech Game 1

@gamerman01 Starting our game thread here -

@FranceNeedsMorePower @Daaras I know my teammate @crockett36 prefers to play Allies, so if you are willing to give us Allies and yourselves play Axis, let’s go with that.

Introductions?

I’ve been on the forum for a couple years, only played a couple OOB games. Mostly PTV. In real life: I’m 39; professionally, handle bookkeeping/tech support/HR/random stuff at my business; come from a big family so its hard work just to get 2nd Best Uncle award…(no kids of my own, and my brother-in-law is untouchable for the #1 spot)

Haven’t played much live games with any one other than with one of my biz partners here in Utah, although! I made a fun trip out East to visit @mikawagunichi and @Daaras early this year and play half a game of PtV (10 rounds over 3 days haha) but also 4? games of Axis & Allies North Africa which is quite an excellent edition to the catalog. We are participating in the Global 1942 tournament at Battlefront:Dayton in November together, so looking forward to meeting you there @FranceNeedsMorePower (and hopefully @crockett36 can make it out too!!)

@ArtofWar1947 Skipped scramble in 114.

@Jacob16 Hi, sorry for this but I have been feeling a little burnt out of late plus I have school starting soon and want to make the smart decision to stop it here. Thanks for understanding. Feel free to claim the game if you would like.

It’s a coinflip on the US cruiser so I don’t expect it to go my way, but that is a big swing if it works. The French fleet was one battle, and I lost 3 units in Yugo which ended up being significant.
