    Was kinda wondering!

    It’s fine - I really appreciate the brisk pace you’ve been keeping - has been fun - looking forward to it being my turn again  :-)


  • I’ve never really used the comment log before . . . :-D

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    Yeah, I figured you hadn’t since you didn’t see mine…

    It’s vital for the ground units on transports issue… helps the owning player a lot too


  • Yeah I know, it must’ve been frustrating to see my other games get played pretty rapidly with no movement in this game. My bad and I’ll be taking Germany’s turn now.

    And yeah, I move rapidly . . . and that’s probably my biggest weakness. I’m a lot better face to face when I can see everything and think things through. You caught my Japanese twice this game on simple mistakes that exposed quite a bit of my hardware. Time to focus and try to salvage this.

    No!  Not at all!  It hasn’t even been 48 hours.  I only noticed you move on one other game - and that doesn’t bother me at all anyway.  Thanks for your consideration, though, I appreciate that.


  • I’m going to strat bomb Russia, intercept? 3 vs 2 if you do.

    I still need to figure out what else Germany’s doing. But that much I know. So no worries if you want to wait and see all what I’m doing.

    I’m pretty meticulous as you can probably already tell, and that’s a big reason for my success……
    That, and a lot of chess experience  :-)
    Also, I’m an expert with numbers and statistics…  :-)

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    That’s a tough decision

    Was going to fly UK air up there but turned out that probably wasn’t the best thing to do…

    I will intercept with both… gotta try and stop those +2s…
    plus your German bombers can’t shoot worth crap  :evil:

  • @Gamerman01:

    plus your German bombers can’t shoot worth crap� :evil:

    All whiffs on the air battle and ack ack phase of that battle. My bombers might not be great at shooting your air down, but they sure did do a number on your factory.  :evil:

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    As long as they didn’t shoot down both fighters, I’m happy


  • @Gamerman01:

    Shooting down your fighters would’ve been a bonus. As long as my bombers aren’t getting shot down, I’m happy as well.  :-P

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    Another win/win!


  • I need a win/win and need you to get a loss/loss.  :evil:


  • @seththenewb:

    Oh thank GOD yes! Whew, I about had a heart attack when I saw 3 red dice, but they were MY red dice this time around. I thought I was in for a repeat of the last SBR. I shot down 3 fighters, didn’t lose any air, and did 13 damage.

    Which is a HUGE improvement over the last time around when I lost 2 fighters, 2 bombers, didn’t shoot down any of your air, and only did 6 damage for all my pains. Which 3 fighters did you want to lose? I chose the Frenchie and 2 Brits. But let me know what you’d prefer to keep instead.

    See, the previous SBR that I reference is a HUGE loss that I’d like to avoid. At least the dice evened out some and I got 3 of his air the next SBR. Both battles were 7 German air vs 8 allied fighters.

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    For most of us normal, average humanoids, the luck does end up evening out…. thank goodness

    And yes, big air battles and SBR’s are liable to cause heart attacks

    I’ve never experienced an air battle involving more than about 5-6 units total from both sides, though…
    I guess that’s why I haven’t been to the ER lately…


  • I prefer the smaller battles as the potential loss is not as big. Once I chuck 6+ air into the air, I feel like I’m bound to lose one. And at that point the damage to the factories is almost incidental to the amount of fighters shot down.
