13L G40 Gamerman01(allies+10) vs seththenewb(axis)

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 something

LRA+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…

@seththenewb:

@Gamerman01:

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.

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

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:)

@seththenewb:

Just be glad I’m not Cow or Bold. You’d have 2 pages worth of 1-2 sentence posts by now.  :wink:

Sorry bold, but this made me smile a bit because I need to admit I was kind of astonished when seeing the first time an (or almost 2^^) entire page(s) filled by a monologue from bold:D
