    @Gamerman01:

    Sweet, I was starting to get chills because no games to play

    You can have both ANZ fighters on one carrier.  It doesn’t matter what the AI has them on, you can edit them.

    Iceland isn’t too bad a place for aircraft, even axis aircraft.

    I thought you might have reinforced it with an AA and Inf, but I suppose that was if a Bomber survived.
    Bloody annoying that I could not foresee your Sub preventing my Amphibious landing though. Got me there! I have TTs out of place now. I am really at 6s and 7s, because of you. Other games I have lost as the Allies, I have started much better. This will be the shortest defeat, I can assure you. I think the one I lost to Soul should have been prevented.
    I do admire the top players who can do the seeming impossible and win against a good Axis strategy. It is the over generous NOs that make it easier for the Axis. That and the 21 starting Air for japan.
    Glad I can give you a game to stave off the shakes. Enjoy breaking me down. And don’t stay up too long!

    And I really am cool with you choosing the OOl, if I am asleep. You are good enough not to need to take advantage and probably can see what I see. Please do not hold up the game on my account.

    Yeah, I’m taking away your chance to make a mistake when I choose your OOL  :-)

    Technically, I’m pretty sure the damaged carrier counts as an escort and allows you to attack, but I figure that’s not a good move for you.

    It is the over generous NOs that make it easier for the Axis. That and the 21 starting Air for japan.

    Yes, and I think the major in Berlin as well as West Germany, or the Ukraine complex, you can blame them all.  Wouldn’t it be challenging if the Axis had a minor in West Germany?  Or at least take out the Ukraine complex.

    Glad I can give you a game to stave off the shakes. Enjoy breaking me down. And don’t stay up too long!

    I know, I stayed up way too late last night.  Had to calculate the avalanche in the rankings.  I don’t have to get up early in the morning though.

    And it’s 21 aircraft AFTER Larry shaved about 5? planes from their starting set up.  Seriously, what was he thinking with 1st edition lol.  There was such a huge disparity between the Europe board strength and the Pacific it was completely laughable.  He shaved planes off the Allies in the Pacific also.

  • Mod 2026 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12

    I bought the 1st edition too, so I do know.
    I realise I can use the CV for the US, thanks, but can’t afford to lose it, and it won’t help with the Uk.
    I am in a bit of a pickle.

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

    Right, though I would certainly have liked to come away with a bomber or two, that hit on the carrier was big and I’m lucky I got it, after it was down to bomber vs. carrier

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

    Yeah, I’m going to bed….

    You are definitely a respectable player, and not a pushover.  It looks like you have the Germans slowed down in Russia, if not pretty much stopped.  Although I haven’t been trying really hard to push through Russia, because I don’t think I need to, you’re doing several things well.

    This is not flattery or just trying to say nice things - I’m sincere

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

    I also do not have a very strong front line with the Japs across Asia.  I almost never prioritize Egypt or India, so you have the bastions there that my opponents always do.  I prioritize fleet and air strength with Japan and Germany more than most

    You talk about folding quicker against me than you’re used to, but I can tell you, your position is pretty decent.  It is not unusual at all for me to accept a resignation between round 3 and 5, and there is no way you should even be thinking that way at this point, so keep up the good playing

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

    Yeah, zone 8 is probably gonna hurt pretty bad, but I like the move of hoping for a hit from 2 infantry and losing the plane first.  It’s a veteran move, especially out in the middle of the Pacific - the dice just didn’t cooperate for you.  Though it’s still kind of nice to kill 2 infantry without any losses…

    OK, I think they improved the Triple A handling of SBR a bit, but it’s still not right.  It rolled both AA together in India even though I was trying to bomb 2 different facilities.

    The first die was a 1, which I would normally think of as the tactical bomber - weakest to strongest, so I removed it.  If you take issue with that, we can roll a die to determine which aircraft was shot down.
