forgot to load the US transport

Variance, I did not study the map in detail, but could you explain?
What was the purpose in sending the 3 Indian air to TJ and build an airbase there, only to leave these planes and airbase exposed to certain death/capture in the exact next turn by Italy?

This game feels like suicide chess and a contest who can send his units into death faster:D

JDOW, I have my reasons.  I will explain after he posts.

garg, there is a problem.  You can’t blitz to activate a friendly neutral.  Triplea lets you do it but its illegal.  You would have to roll the tank into Iraq and stop there.  Do you want to leave the tank in Iraq or turn Iraq back to pro-axis?

@variance:

JDOW, I have my reasons.  I will explain after he posts.

Seems like you wanted to prevent Italy from taking Egypt and then holding it by reinforcing with German air. Not sure if brilliant or just ridiculously expensive:)

Yes, very expensive, but here are the things he wanted to do:

1. take and hold Egypt
2. take and hold Iraq
3. sink the UK fleet
4. kill the UK planes
5. sink the French fleet
6. keep the Italian navy afloat

He did not have enough to attack both z98 and transjordan, let alone the French fleet and Iraq.  If he put just 1 unit on Egypt then ANZAC would take it back.  He only has 2 German bombers and 3 tacs in range to reinforce (all of which I want to kill).  If he had attacked the z98 fleet and not tranjordan then I was not going to scramble.  As it turned out, he left Egypt alone for now, so mission accomplished.

By the way, I am about 99% sure that he messed up him India crush on purpose to keep USA neutral.  Germany has some diabolical plan for those carriers.  We’ll see.

you lose $4 too if you leave it pro-axis.  Want me to put the tank there?

Nice thoughts variance, this is the sophisticated way to think if want to beat the overpowered Axis in vanilla. I hope for you it works out and is worth the price.

And I agree, if you can suspect any player to make unconventional, crafty plays, then its Garg  :evil:

Thanks JDOW.  I take any chance to play a guy like gargantua as a learning experience.

:-D
