WC12: AA50-41 US R1 qualifier; SAS (Axis) vs. Gamerman01(Allies+8)

Thanks! I wish I could just type @The_Good_Captai(n) in 1990 and the rules expert genie would pop out and give me the rules answers!

Yes, Victory_First or a friend of his whipped up the unit count check not long ago. It went off when I was doing combat move and ended the phase and I had 16 stacks. It’s too bad it doesn’t show a constant count of everything, but this is waaaaay better than nothing.

Thanks for the quick confirmation.
It wasn’t a total lunge because I let Egypt go as I think he’s going to take France anyway. Thanks for the props, means a lot.

No problem. I will ask you next month for W@W game.

@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!
