Boldfresh (Allies +6) vs. Nerquen (Axis), G40, no tech


  • Thanks for the feedback

    @Boldfresh:

    your J1 gave me a shot at ending the game on US1 at minimal risk.

    how so, do I miss a rule?

    @Boldfresh:

    attacking z110 on G2 was not a good idea, and the dice bailed you again?

    Why not, if you did not scramble I would trade your DD to 1/3 of my plane. That sounds like a good deal, or is not?

    If you scramble, what you did, then TripleA battle calculator was giving that on average you still lose more than me so again I though it is a good deal for me. Was it not a good idea because average result is not important but that I made unnecessary risk to lose my air? Or is it a case that 1 German plane is of more value than an allied plane?

  • '12

    no you did not miss a rule. I just meant the game would effectively be over if you had lost those three transports


  • I see… you are right I bit overestimated power of my kamikadze… they all missed :(

  • '12

    yes.  bottom line, it was a huge risk for the axis and a relatively minimal risk for the USA


  • bump - unofficial…

  • '12

    i posted R2 - scroll down a bit.


  • whoops… totally missed that… I will do my turn later tonight … in ~ 5 hours

  • you keep suggesting that trading German air units with allied air units in 1:1 is not a good idea for Axis. Why is this so, I don’t see it yet?

    your blockers in Mediterranean see fight well… they all hit before they died.

  • '12

    the axis cannot afford to trade units 1:1 with the allies - period.  especially early.
