L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!

LOL this brings back memories of AA50.

First, you couldn’t hit the tech on Triple A either!
Second, it makes total sense to roll tech before getting in to planning your move - I remember especially that my arch-nemesis from back in the day would always do that.

But they were just AA50 moves. He mainly did it because he couldn’t wait to see if he got something.

Well, UK is one step closer to LRA then. Got radar out of the way. That will stop the bombings of Egypt, and might actually do me a favor by deterring failed SBR raids of my precious long-range bombers.

too bad you can’t get long-range paratroopin’ heavy bombers any more.
And they had an additional range of TWO in the little AA50 map, lol. We house-ruled it to 1

Now I have all 3 moves to make tonight, since I shook down badger. Maybe I’d better play him first :p

Path to Victory has become much more popular lately

I’d love to play parts of it, but after 1 team game on it, I know I can’t go back and forth with the scrambles, it scrambles my brain

Well I clearly didn’t have an answer to the first time I faced a Yunnan gambit and a 51 bid
Missing 2 fighters to Shan made it a whole lot worse. Will the dice allow me to salvage a bit?

Scramble to 33, or save the ANZAC fighter for future exploits?

Thank you!

Just how much are the Japs going to keep America and India’s attention? This could get very, very interesting

Destroyers, subs, aircraft, I want to do this on the forum so we’re not being asked for casualty choices before we should be
I’ll post the map at each point.

We have the kitchen sink that Japan is desperately throwing at the Allied fleet complete with 4 transports at the Carolines. 5 bombers are looking zip right to the Carolines this turn to join them.

Will there be anything to join?

The TUVs will look really interesting after this.

Japan’s kitchen sink:
2 SS
2 DD
1 CA
1 CV
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

Technically subs would be rolled separately because they can’t hit aircraft, but it won’t matter here

Now that is a dice bailout
But what will the defense be?

Please use the map already posted,
Sumatra captured without loss, otherwise all the same

Thank you for the quick casualty choice, I can keep the flow
