hey anzac I DOW on japan, so your ships aren’t safe anywhere except to the right of new zealand. cos he can ignore america for a turn. I gave up usa combat so we could bank more with china/ukpac/anzac for a turn.

also I need your fighters on yunnan. you may as well take celebes.

I added 1 to uk at the end of japan’s turn for the industrial damage being 8 and not 7, when I redid the map. I bought the same thing I would have bought which is 9 inf.

actually usa goes to war when london falls… hmm hard to say where you want your naval.

I attacked them.

My lone bomber hit the aa guns, nothing defend it so it just rolled the aa gun shot and automatically cleared it without rolling bomber.

I don’t keep mah bomber on malta for nothin!

you think my bomber attacking lone aa guns was bad?

AA guns completely neutralized by bombers and not killing any of them!? Quick, someone teach those damn Italians how to shoot!!

wakka wakka. It was 5/6 chance to get 2 unit killed for free… aa guns be expensive too 10 ipc . worth the risk of a bomber. ><

aa guns should cost 3 or 4, not 5.  anyway, TUV aside, it was a good but risky move, which is just Cow’s kind of thing.

maybe if aa guns cost 4 we would see them purchased more often. makes skirmishing riskier though, not sure I like that.

I just play more aggressively is all veqryn. Hard to be hyper aggressive in team games to be honest, can’t coordinate fully. All good.

Never really thought of all in strategies as being risky or gambling, just seems optimal to me and the game will go on forever otherwise. That is not good.

Besides this is global, most of the games so far in this tournament have shown allies lose. If the allies aren’t being aggressive and taking good risks with good rewards, they lose anyway.

I needed those dead, that is 2 less hits I need to score to take Italy. That is one less boat required of America, which costs 13 ipc (these things are usually 1 time drops, unless there is a supply train in which case they drop every other round). Saves me mucha moola. Ignoring was not even an option from my perspective.

I am just playing the game.
