@Infrastructure:

So, 1 loss might help compensate a little for first round heavy bombers

As if I could use it from the 1st round  :lol:
Probably be round 4 or 5 before I drop a single bomb

You are getting the luck right now

Both destroyer blockers shot down planes in the first round - 1/9 chance

Ouch

@Infrastructure:

and I won’t attack america until turn 3 or so!
:-o

Oh, that’s big of you.  That’s only promising not to attack America on I2  :lol:

Triple A does not force players to conduct combat in the proper order.

The rule book clearly states that in the conduct combat phase, there is a certain order to follow.

1. SBR
2. Amphibious assaults (and requisite fleet battles)
3. All others

I see on your I1 move you did not follow the rules.  You should have rolled Syria before the rest of the battles.

I am following this rule.  It is not fair if I follow it and you don’t.  I’m guessing you were not aware of the rule, as I also was not aware of it at one time until another player pointed it out.  I expect you will follow it from now on, thanks.

@Infrastructure:

I knew I’d learn something playing you.  I did not know that rule.  I’m glad it didn’t effect that turn really, but I will remember that for the future.  SBR, naval with amphibious, amphibious, rest of combat.
Is that what you are saying?

Yes, that is what the rule book is saying.  First thing under Phase 3: Conduct Combat

I know, I was stunned when Funcioneta pointed it out to me a few years ago.

Of course I agree, the I1 out of order play was inconsequential, and it often is, but NOT ALWAYS  :-)

I will check out 102 to see what you mean  :-)

Forgot to check until now

I collected 2 IPC’s for the home island?!  Woohoo!  Was counting on 0.

@Infrastructure:

What is up with american aircraft sculPt in SZ102?

Ah

That is a tactical bomber when you get “heavy bombers”

Don’t worry, they do not have any increased ability.  In accordance with the rules, only STRAT bombers roll 2 dice and select the best one.  For some reason, they took the time to make cool looking tactical bombers for each nation when you get heavy bombers.

You should see the German and Japanese ones.

Have never seen UK or Russia’s yet.

If you haven’t played much tech yet, you are in for a treat.

I have seen every tech except LRA

Techs with changed graphics are:

1. Super subs
2. Jet power (very cool)
3. Radar (very cool)
4. Heavy bombers (very cool)
5. Rockets
6. Increased production (VERY cool)

@Infrastructure:

should be interesting playing you.  I have VERY limited exposure to tech in G40!

Whoa - you were brave to play it with someone who’s kind of used to it, then.

I mean, it’s a different game to have to be a little prepared for the opponent to get a tech without warning.

Playing without tokens anymore actually isn’t bad.  Although you won’t get as many fun techs, your opponent won’t get as many techs that could destroy your game either.

Just made the engine show me LRA

It just puts white stripes on the wings
This is like super subs where you get 2 white stripes on the nose

Hehe

British tacs with heavy bombers are cool, I see

I’ll have to upload this game file for everyone once I get a bunch of techs on it
