Trajan01 (Allies) vs Alex (Axis), G40 alpha3+

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    no dice :)
    I love the game, but not many of my friends do.

    I really really should have at least got your TTs with ONE piece remaining. This particular game is bad luck from the start :)

    Yeah it hasn’t been your game.
    I have a bit of a defense for London - I see myself as approx 50% to hold.
    But I have a rules question.
    If I move the US Sub and Fr DD to z110, how would the battle work?
    Assuming you attack w/ BB, CV, DD and 2 Subs, do you have to kill my subs in order to make the Amphib assault? Or could you just make the Amphib over the Sub after you kill the DD?

    Allies wouldn’t be coming tonight anyway, too late at work.  Will be up tomorrow.

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    The way this works is that I can safely ignore lone subs as long as I have any warships with my TTs, but that I would have to do a naval battle if there is a DD present, in which case the sub would participate in the combat.

    But as for the French DD: Its the same issue with the fighter, in your F8 would the DD really stay in SZ 92? I think the “normal” move would have been to reinforce your other fleets, at least that is what you did so far. And if so, then the DD would not be in reach of SZ 110. Had I not claculated so, I would have had to attack the French DD with my air and land in S-France to make sure he cant reach 110, as I knew it would be the only solution for you other than build your own G9 ship there. ALso, a blocking function wouldnt be neccessary as you would likely destroy the remnants of my fleet anyway.

    I agree its very hard now to say what we would have done had G not moved before F. Its for you to judge on how to proceed, but if the DD goes up then a full sea battle ensues.

  • '13

    I agree, I have no idea what I may have done with the DD without seeing G move.
    It was my call to move F first…I clearly was oblivious to the threat, so I deserve no countenance!  :-)

    Thanks.

    Still very thrilled to see what you do with UK now.

  • '13

    A few changes to US non-coms:
    Sub to z112
    TTs from z110 to z117
    3 of the 4 Med TTs go to z91, and they drop 3 Inf, 3 Rt in Gib (so 2 Inf stay in Alg and 1 TT in z92)
    Rest of Med Fleet goes to z91, incl 1 Ftr (Ftr from the TT attack lands in Alg)

    Also, I missed US saved to so 79 total.

    Earn 28 Ter + 2 WB = 30.

    So that’s 4 AA/ Radar, 25 Inf 1 Bom and 4 Ftr In UK.
    I see it almost dead on 50/50.

    I hate to admit it, but you are right. This looked much better a turn ago, but those US inf make a lot of difference.
    I think I have to go to N-Ukraine instead and retake Nov….battle N-Ukr is 85%. Maybe just good enough odds for me ;)

    BTW, Burma road is not open, not the original UK part. Yunnan alone is not enough. I deduct 6 from the China total.

    On the other hand I forgot my 2 Inf via paratrooping. Gives me 14 Inf, 12 Arm and air. Lets see your F.

  • '13

    Maybe my “bait” in Russia wasn’t such a great idea after all…although you would lose a lot there also even though likely to win battle.

    Agree China income.

    I will lose a lot, true. But I could destroy all your air, lion share of your armour and would face no AA. There will be armor, Mech Inf, Air to counter-attack your counterattack.
    On the other hand, with paratroopers, UK is a bit better odds than 50/50. I am undecided.

    Have to leave now, will do G in the evening.

    Overkill  :-)

    France:
    Ftr to UK

    Map attached.

    If you go ahead with UK, OOL = AA, Bom, F Inf, US Inf, UK Inf, F Ftr, UK Ftr.
    And I think you only get 13 Inf (6 Ger, 1 Den, 5 Nor, 1 Paris) even though you have 2 Bom’s, I don’t see another Inf within range.
    My sim has that battle 48/52, low luck almost identical, but expects you to lose approx 50 IPCs doing it.

    you are right, its only one in Paris. Its likely to be Russia, I think. Sorry that I cannot do it now :(
