PtV - Mr_Stucifer vs Culann

@Culann Max defense, damage everything first then lose DDs, CVs, BBs in that order before losing planes
-
@Culann said in PtV - Mr_Stucifer vs Culann:
Err not pressing my advantage is usually not one of my failings.
I look forward to your Axis play. :D In most league games of PtV the bid is at least +6 so you can start with an extra transport for a juicy J1 attack on the Western allies. Gets Japan pulling in 46-49 round 1 and usually can grab the rest of the money islands, Manila, for another 15. And you cost US about 55 IPCs worth of units they can save otherwise at the cost of 20-25 of your own on average dice. Makes it pretty tempting 😈😈
-
@mr_stucifer Mostly I’m just hoping I don’t screw up. It’s hard to process all that information at first and the idea of choosing when to strike gives a lot of strategic options. Given a lot of minor mistakes I made as the Allies I’m not sure how well it’s going to go.

Scramble and intercept options. I assume you will intercept but I’m not sure whether you want to scramble to snipe a few infantry.
-
Err I made a bunch of minor mistakes as the Allies and a few big ones for that matter.
-
@Culann Scramble no, intercept yes, thanks!
-
@Culann I’ve made plenty of mistakes this game too, we are learning all the time. Good for the brain engagement :D
If you aren’t quite ready to play Axis I can play Axis again, no pressure either way sir
-
@mr_stucifer Yeah, I agree it’s good for the brain engagement.
Nah, no worries I can play the Axis can’t let you have all the fun.
