Hmm, are you contemplating attacking the neuts so you can fly allied air in from India? That’s the only thing I can think of that might save Moscow, but at what cost? And I may not have said it in this thread, but I’ve said it in plenty of other threads.

Yep, you’re showing your experience…
Oh, I think the cost is acceptable.
It was significant that you hit Gibraltar for more than 2 damage on your first try… :x

I was prepared to sacrifice both a dd and cruiser so that Russia could not clear the way for US landings in W. Germany. Had you not scrambled, it would’ve just been an additional dd. But yes, getting that damage helped save my little navy.
-
Oops, I forgot to blitz Smolensk like I was going to.
Please change ownership and add 1 IPC to Russia - thanks

I was thinking more in terms of launching towards Greece/Turkey, or Z98 -

Will you allow the Smolensk blitz edit?
I was going to do it no matter what happened in Tambov… -
Oops, I forgot to blitz Smolensk like I was going to.
Please change ownership and add 1 IPC to Russia - thanks
I didn’t see this. Feel free to do this edit during US turn.
And I’d rather have you in strength in Greece than in W. Germany. At least according to the current board position. US in W. Germany with UK fighters landing there cuts me off from France and threatens Berlin. Of course I’d rather have you all the way back in the Americas and NOWHERE near Europe or Asia. :wink:
And man, I hope I didn’t screw up Japan again. Watch you get long range aircraft or something that really messes me up the turn I took precautions and actually took more than a glance around the board. :|
-
Well my history with tech is that me and my opponents have hit all kinds of tech, but NEVER LRA yet, so I am extremely due.
-
Yeah, wondered if you didn’t see it, what with playing Japan and all.
Thanks for allowing the minor edit that I forgot to do when doing combat moves -
Game with ya tomorrow
-
Well my history with tech is that me and my opponents have hit all kinds of tech, but NEVER LRA yet, so I am extremely due.
I did try to position myself so that I’m covered in case you did get LRA. I almost missed an extra fighter that could’ve hit sz6 if you got LRA, which is why I edited that dd back home. For some reason, I thought you couldn’t land in Amur . . . which makes no sense because it’s not my terr. And LRA is one of the reasons why in my ftf games we play delayed tech. Or somebody gets advanced artillery or super subs that turns a very big and important battle into a massacre.
-
Delayed tech is for wussies :wink:
Seriously, if you play delayed tech you might want to play with tokens, or reduce the cost to 4 or somethingLRA+2 in AA50 was ridiculous (I house ruled to +1), although in G40 +1 with Japan or USA especially, at just the right time, could be killer. Which is why I often do play no tech…

one of the MAIN points of tech is the surprise factor. :-P
-
Speaking of surprises, Seth will not be surprised at all if I attack the neutrals in order to get 4 ANZ planes from India to Moscow…
I wonder how many others are aware of your very sneaky move now that you aired it in a highly public game…Oh well…
Seems getting odds on Moscow from 85% to 25% (or something like that), at least for 1 turn, will be worth it.
I can take a shot at Turkey with the UK - not sure if that’s the thing to do, though. Probably is, because the Germans could roll in next turn in noncom… So it’s like there are 8 German infantry sitting there right now - gotta get 'em before they can be consolidated
Haven’t studied my next moves or anything, but at a glance, seems that’s what’s coming from the Allies…
Brace yourself, Barcelona -
Yeah but when you’ve invested like 8, 10, 12+ hours into a ftf game . . . it kind of sucks to have it all end because someone got LRA or something at just the right time. Maybe that’s a little more historically accurate, but it does tend to bring it all crashing down. In a marathon session like that, I’d rather beat my opponent mano a mano or at least have the chance to do so.
-
Well, you have to prepare yourself a bit for the possibility, just like you said you did with this last Japan turn
But yeah, seriously, delayed tech would still be fun
I would recommend making it 3-4 IPC’s per die or else 5 IPC’s and use tokens, though.
A major part of the value for the 5 IPC’s you pay is the immediate surprise factor, like what you just did to Gibraltar.
I’ve played against rockets in G40 some, but they never messed up a base that mattered.It’s cool that you can shoot multiple rockets at the same facility (which got changed somewhere along the way, from OOB, WITH NO FANFARE :lol:)
