Would you just look at that. Wow. Looks like I’m gonna get a lot of my time back
-
So much for your vibes. I didn’t think my decision was going to be whether to resign or not… Jeez.
-
Not so fast… I still managed to disable all but one carrier and ground all the air except 2 on New Guinea. I only lose the 2 aircraft that were committed, and have a built in block in Z54.
No, I’m not resigning.
-
Do you want the tactical bomber on the island or on the carrier?
-
holy smokes!! Â :? :-o :? :-o
no question that is a luck full roll for me. Â
my vibes were more on the line that the axis are evil thus luck should abandon them… but obviously this is just a game and not historical, moral commentary
none the less, I feel for you. Â We’ve all been on the recieving end. Â Althought I will say, after 20 years of A&A naval battles can be very squirly, especailly when the defender had a lot of ftrs. Â Shipyards now looks like a salvation more then an advantage. Â Japan survives to fight on, I guess.
-
Holy smokes! I thought only Yoshi got defensive rolls like that!! :?
-
2ftrs on cv
-
USA loses 4 subs, 4 destroyers, 2 fighters, cruiser, carrier, takes hit to battleship
3 fighters, 2 bombers, cruiser and damaged battleship remainCA and BB retreat to Z54

never played yoshi… sounds like he is a master of luck

I’m glad you saw that - now I don’t have to tell you about it
Felt like a game ender, but when I survey it looks like USA/ANZ might still be able to survive.
Disabling 3 carriers for 2 turns is huge. Â I need to see if I can take a stand in the Carolines now, too -
And yes, the shipyards MIGHT save my bacon…
Hmmmm… noncoms -

Sounds like Yoshi has been lucky for awhile now from what I hear
Lucky AND good. But he doesn’t play 1940 yet so you don’t have to worry :-)
-
Oh, that’s right, a sub came from 33 so I can retreat to the Carolines. Definitely going to do that instead of to 54… Stops bombardment without costing a plane scrambling… I actually have a good chance to defend Carolines this turn… :-)
-
I’ll meet this “master” yoshi any time on the G40 forum… I’ll meet anyone ready for a G40 game. G40 is the apotheosis of A&A games in my opinion. Just the right amount of complexity with playability. I looked at the that massive global game from Historical gaming and it had a lot of problems. Territory size, spacing etc.
G40 is it.
enough talk
war!

no neutral crush eh? probably for the best, unless the UK is doing it. Ouch. I hate to think that uk med fleet could land troops in sukr! ag… might break the siege! :|

Yeah, I don’t think he does G40. Yet. I’ve only played him once and it would have been good but he got a great defense in Russia early in the game that crippled me. He rarely loses though.
G40 is incredible and I’m just starting to really taste it here a little bit.
I looked at the total world war manual and it looks like too much for me. I couldn’t figure out Third Reich back when I was 18 either, but no one to show me. I still own it.
Enough talk
Britain! -

With the game totally on the line in the Pacific, I finally decided the 6 units in CUS needed to head toward Hawaii and Australia ASAP. Spain isn’t nearly as attractive when I don’t have waves coming from the USA. And Turkey was tenuous anyway, and the British don’t have the reinforcements to threaten from the Black Sea. Considered it all - trust me. That USA turn took me pretty much all day. Which is why G40 will probably remain #2 in my book… But you can play well with not a lot of time, seemingly. It’s taken me 5 times as long as you to put out a competitive game, and you still might slam dunk me in 12 rounds
-
Hm - just realized if I had taken North Italy I would have a great shot on Italy with the UK. Oh well, I’ll use all the air on the Germans and avoid the AA for another turn…
