Jim/ghr2 vs fighter pilot Alpha 3 AAG40

aye, quite necessary indeed. Weirdly, the site wasn’t working for me all morning, I could see stuff, but couldn’t post or send messages or anything.

I’ve realized I made a couple modest play mistakes in my opener, but that’s what happens when i’m a bit rusty and unoptimized. still plenty of useful data and thoughts acquired.

@mike64 Mike i would so like to play again, no bid, i would like to play next game same as this one, as axis, if i lose “hard” as this game, we can go with bid, as this was my first game i am very happy how i played, i did have few opportunity that i missed and fail hard on transport ships and units there, as i did not know rules regarding ship movement and base 2+1 move :) but it was too late in 5 or 6 move :D

So lets try another game same as this one and lets see what will happen :)

I hope you enjoyed the game. Since I’ve never played before, I also want to thank you for this—I really enjoyed it, and thank you for giving me the chance to gain some additional experience.

If you don’t mind, please start a new thread on the forum and tag me—I’ll take the first turn.
I’m going to play this next game much more slowly, so please don’t hold it against me: moves every two or three days. I want to deeply analyze what I’m doing, and I hope you won’t mind. :)

Thanks, Mike.
