Just a year ago! Thanks for pointing out, I did miss that link to an important place.
It’s like a rip in the cloth of space and time!
Well, that was fun.
XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

another strategy if hawaii turns into a fortress and you don’t have the carrier/air/boats to take it is move up to hollywood and stop him from producing naval off of it. I think you lost the naval superioirity to do that at this point.
I do understand that you need enough to sink usa to maintain a mexican standoff that is favorable for you. (he has to block you instead of you block him).
-
ask yourself what is the point if you can’t take it? there is no point. take aleutan islands.
-
i AM taking aleutian islands, with just a transport and a dude.
are you saying i should move my full fleet up there? if so, please be more specific because you’ve said 9 messages and 4 pm’s and I still don’t know what you would do or what your real advice is….
and what do you think i should do with india?

Whoah whoah whoah…
After having that Battleship float around for 5 turns, we can’t remove it now?!?!
The loss at the Carolines, in it’s scale, does warrant a Rule #7 intervention. Which I’m reviewing and considering now. :)
But can’t we be good sports?
If we can’t and you both agree, I won’t force this issue, obviously, this tournament is about fun, but come on… :P Seth’s Plans Counted on that Battleship! Especially now!
-
check it out, so you block him from going to hawaii for a turn, woopy do.
you take aleutan islands he goes to hawaii and buys naval. you go back to japan, he can’t take carolines easily with 1 transport so where is he going to advance? no where and he does he has to block you from swinging in those upcoming rounds. plus if he moves forward he gives up aleutan islands for so many rounds or whatever.
you just need enough to sink the units on the board plus 3 fighters. that is it. the rest goes to expanding. you have to adjust your calculations to him buying carriers off west usa to get filled up with fighters… that is it.

in my save i have deleted the french BB. if you would prefer a different kind of rule 7 intervention, let me know, i will wait your words before i roll

ok, i see your point. my idea of going to hawaii was that, besides the pretty girls, was that he would have to move his fleet away from western usa to avoid my attack the next round. however, he could just put blockers, so i guess it doesn’t matter.
so, what to do with india?

i think i am going to proceed with the deletion
in my save i have deleted the french BB. if you would prefer a different kind of rule 7 intervention, let me know, i will wait your words before i roll
actually to honest, i think the most fair route would be to delete it. we’ve both had bad luck, so things are even if it is deleted.
adding, say, an italian BB would be most useless, and quite silly. adding a japanese BB may turn the tables in the pacific towards me. and seth was counting on not having to deal with a german bb. -
Veqryn you are very confusing to me and hard to follow. I gave up on understanding. You don’t gamble at all and then when you do there is no point to it. I don’t understand.
-
I don’t want to play japan, because I am too lazy to run the calcs. I just want to screw around in europe and wait for you to win.
I will tell you what you need give me a second.

this is my FIRST game, among other things, of either global or alpha
i played conservative mostly because i didn’t want to fuck anything up, this being my first game. with the exception of dice, and that almost loss at midway, i think i am doing pretty damn well.
here is the new savegame for you cow,
i am asking your advice because you have experience and because i like having a second set of eyes
tell me what you think of this one -
Alright,
So long as Seth agree’s you can remove it. Per Rule #7, which allows 1 unit removal aswell.
-
yes you are treasuring your transports, that is the way japan plays.
can you mix your naval purchase up a bit? 1 sub for every destroyer he has and carrier, you also want carrier fighters as well, they make your fleet more versatile and are very good for defense.
why are you losing a sub to kill transports? stop trading. 4 fighters 2 tacticals, if he scrambles you have better odds of killing more stuff. also drop 2 more inf on aleutan.
keep that other transport back to counter anzac transport from taking something. move india west. you also don’t need to sit in japan with your units.
if you do decide to lose the sub, transport 2 infantry to amur, start pushing for sino russian income to get that train rolling, if not, why lose a sub?

so in other words, change your buy up a bit to include a carrier fighter 2x in the mix.
don’t need an arty for india 2 inf is fine to hold india/move west (the 1 ipc upgrades a fighter to a tactical and it is good to roll on 4s). he might try to liberate it later if you skimp out. also good for exchanges if russia tries to exchange with you.
I am not going to dwell in the middle east with 60 guys, that would be dumb. I am going and coming back or something like that, I just want a quick bankroll so russia can’t extend too far while I am gone, because I will come back. the idea is that you have a reason for him to keep more stuff there or you take those spots or block that ally.
I am in a really awkward position where I have to see what usa does before I decide which route to go. This could turn into a turkey shoot.
-
ugh you forgot to move india -.-
-
oh nvm you did.
ok looks good. are you sure seth wasn’t going to scramble? I would have put a bomber over the transports just in case… but no matter. 3 fighter 2 tactical should blow out 3 fighters. I prefer 2 units to 1 when possibile.

if i was a puppet for cow, we would have either won in round 5, or crashed and burned badly…

sorry seth, i should have asked.
do you want to scramble and die horribly, against 3 fighters and 2 tactical bombers? i have 98%, so I assumed you would not. if you really want to, we can do it with forum dice.
