Global 1942 GenCon setup - Stu (L) v Simon (X+7)

Stucifer

@simon-tressel
3 hits on fleet in 119, 1 from subs so must be taken on a ship. I assume damage to battleship for sub, other 2 hits?

simon.tressel

I don’t know if it’s the right call, but I’ll take 1 hit on carrier, 1 on fighter.

It’s a slow death for me I think at this point… Only a matter of time before the blockades and NOs make the economic gap even wider. Those Russians in Africa are pretty sneaky haha.

Stucifer

@simon-tressel Yeah it’s pretty cheese but I wasn’t going to hold out on you for your first game. You’ll see it a lot in tournaments/online play.

simon.tressel

No, I’m not complaining at all, sneaky is a compliment haha. I think it’s great to see what’s possible. Gotta play the rules to squeeze out whatever bonuses you can. I didn’t understand at first why you weren’t moving the other Allies through North Africa for a turn or two. Then I saw the bonus income going to Russia and it made sense. It’s cool to see how the blockades and NOs affect the strategy and tactics of the game. A lot of new mechanics to get used to!

Stucifer

I’m trimming down on my games at the moment, but it would be fun to play again sometime. Need a bit of a break from all of my winter A&A play. I’ll see if any of my friends want to play a game with you and reach out on discord

simon.tressel

Cool. For what it’s worth, I’m willing to keep playing this game if you want to, but I’m also fine calling it here if you want to focus on other things. Either way, thank you for the game; I learned a lot.
