2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

Yes, thanks, like I said I missed that today.  I saw it last night, forgot what he said.  Caught myself at the exact same time as Alex was quoting him for me

It’s all good.  Take your best shot.  I didn’t need to react because an attack on 35 may not even lengthen the game, it could even shorten it.

Now I see your second post, no worries man you were just trying to help.  We’re all good here.  Nothing to see

@Ghostglider:

After you read my comment you decided to change your moves. As can be seen above I mentioned that I had attacks ready (actually not exactly ready because I also need to consider what to do next round (including my purchase this round) and therefore if I wanted to attack with everything or only strafe your PHI sz) and it would be fun.
My guess is that my comment made you take another look at the map - which you likely not would have taken else…

No, your comment had no effect whatsoever.  A reasonable supposition, but incorrect nonetheless.

This is the reason why I asked you to reconsidered if you wanted to change your moves.

OK

From your numerous comments I can understand that you think it is unjust if you are not allowed to edit your moves. I certainly do not want this innocent game to cause an actual WW - I much prefer that you change your moves :-D

right, that’s the Ghost I know.  But I don’t believe you do have 100% and after further analysis, I realize that attacking Z35 has its costs for you - regardless, I am fine with……

Please resend your final map from Japan Round 27 so that we can continue our great game…

I think you’re letting me make the edit to make sure I’m not upset?  You don’t need to.  You can go with my original map where Phillippines is weakly defended.

Anyway, I assure you that your comment about looking forward to the USA move had absolutely nothing to do with my edit request.  I’m going to check and see if you have access to the correct map……

Reply #874 is the original post
Reply #880 is the edit of 2 subs and 2 fighters to bolster Z35
You can use either one you want, and you’ll never hear me complain about it.  After all, if you allow the edit, there is no sub in 33 and 2 less fighters near Japan and for all I know you might prefer that.

I’ll check in whenever I can to give you decisions, but I’m going to be away from the computer most of the rest of the day.
If you attack Z35 and do not attempt an amphibious assault on the Philippines, then I will scramble the 3 planes and kamikaze 2 at the battleship, 2 at each destroyer, total of 6.

However, I know now that you were concerned about me changing my move based on what you had said (I would never do that) and I assure you that that was not the case, so perhaps you grant the edit - your call

I do think attacking 35 without the edit has its perils.  You won’t have overwhelming odds on India and you will be letting all other subs and destroyers live, and likely won’t be able to repair any carriers.  Once you damage any of the last 3 carriers, you’re losing planes too.  So don’t just go by the Triple A calc odds - they’re misleading here.

It IS a great game, you ARE a great opponent, not only in skills but in sportsmanship, and this is a match to be remembered for quite some time  :mrgreen:

I’m sure Ghost will be moving any time here.  I don’t know whether it will be with pre- or post- edit J27,  but whatever he selects - it’s game on with USA

Damage the battleship and lose 2 destroyers
If your battleship hits, lose a carrier

That has me down to one destroyer, so lose carriers to sub hits in round 2, um, I’ll be back in about 3 hours

I haven’t left yet, so I can give you this one now -

lose 4 carriers and the cruiser

Well, I’ll keep the battleship and a fighter, but you should have waited and asked if my subs submerge.  If I had submerged the 3 subs, you would have won the battle this round and then could not retreat!

You were pretty unlikely to get 8 or more hits, though, (14%) and of course I scored 2 hits with the subs, so I won’t make a fuss.  Japan win is still unstoppable anyway.

You may roll the 3 mech and a fighter attack on India before continuing, because if it fails the game is over anyway
