Spitfire38 (axis) vs. gambit78 (allies) Spring 1942

Ok i’ll do UK1 tonight.
Tough on the sub attack. Well i’m contemplating a UK long shot through so you may get yours back.
The russkies just crumbled under your combined arms attack, sigh. Your Luftwaffe is looking mighty scary now.
IPCs in Saudi eh? Heh just like in RL, that’s where the money is :wink:
While i read that on forums, isn’t there a little bar at the bottom for this purpose too?
-
Yes, but Russia is looking like it will be a beast to take. :oops: haha
I’ll look for the bar next time I go to Battlemap…I didnt notice it
All right, looking forward to UK1! -

I made a mistake, a TRN can only carry a INF with TNK, not ART. Luckily it didn’t make a difference in the rolls. Please consider that I’ve transported an INF to Kar instead.

I removed the 2nd fighter plane from GBR (you had 2 left, when one landed in Russia) and changed the carrier you put in SZ 3 into a destroyer (they’re so hard to see).

I’m utterly disgusted with my troops performance! :x Not a scratch on the japs!
I think you are incorrect regarding AC absorbing hits. Only battleships get to take 2 hits. Didn’t change the outcome of these battles, though.
If you could let me chime in with a SUB submerge instead that would be good next time. Hawaii was a losing battle by the odds, could have foregone the surprise strike and saved the silent service.
I do have another FTR in GBr, I bought 2 during UK1.
I’ll post US1 after some thinking. The Pacific war is disturbing… :cry:

Check out the ‘toolbar’ at the bottom, we can record turns (1st row) and IPC there (2nd row), and capitals possession (last row). I have no idea what the 3rd row is…

Forgot to attach.
Do you still need me to send these posts+file to your email?
-
well only during the week (monday-thursday)

I’m very sorry about the Sub in Hawaii… I completely forgot I didn’t have a Destroyer. you can keep it if you want- my mistake, your benefit :) And for AC, you’re right. I’ve been playing Europe and Global, so I’m a bit fuzzy on the rules for 1942 :|
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with my J1. Russia will be the crucial turn to see whether my luck goes south… we’ll see!
-
It’s ok about the sub, honest mistake. I won’t take it back…me having a sub might have changed your mind about buying a Japanese sub and instead a destroyer. Too many what-ifs.
Yes R2 is going to be interesting. I hate these huge battles personally…more a fan of small tactical skirmishes.
