no scramble

This has been pretty disappointing… I have had a few games against good players like yourself as the axis and have been totally diced with Germany.  Your march has been with little resistance which is generally how it should be with Germany.

if you feel that you have no path to victory than surrender is a good option. but it is up to you, i do not like to tell my opponent to resign

I only mentioned it because I didn’t want you to feel you were wasting your time with this game.  I was hoping to be a bit more of a challenge for you.  You blew up my J4 which is one of the reasons I wanted to play you!  If figured if anyone had a solution for it that it would be you.  It has certainly helped me adjust some things.  No one I have played has gone KJF.  Since this is just a fun game I would like to pick your brain a bit… the guy I play F2F with, we have always talked that KJF is pretty much what you have to do initially in order for the allies to win.  Is this what you do most of the time?  I have tried a few different strategies with the allies but they never seem to work quite as good as when you can make Japan suffer after the initial surge.

Anyway, if I am boring I will shut up :-D

so I don’t have to roll the SBR on here,  The first 3 AA guns will be against the tac bombers and the next 3 will be against the strat bombers.  I will pull the planes according to that.  I also assume you do not want to intercept.  If you choose to then you can roll those afterwards and we can adjust accordingly

forgot to mention, if you look at the battle in sz35, you will see that I brought a destroyer.  I didn’t realize that you could kamikaze if I attack the sz.  I thought it was just for amphibious assaults.  I figured I would just submerge the sub and pretend I didn’t bring the destroyer but that didn’t work out cause the sub just fired.  Then I realized that was away from the spirit of the game.  If you want to kamikaze the destroyer go ahead and do so in the forum.  If you do and kill him, edit another destroyer from the Carolines sz into 35.  Neither my sub or destroyer hit though.

Sorry man :-D

No problem!! I will just wait till the edit comes in or you can tell me if its not to many and I will edit them in.

Regarding the SBR.  You are 100% correct.  Just as gamerman had stated, we should have rolled the dice for individual complexes on the forum as opposed to doing it through Triple A.  Lesson learned for both of us.  I knew the rule but assumed that triple a would do it correctly.  When it did not, I should have questioned more about what happened. The only solution would be to start over from there, otherwise it would be a hard one to fix at this point.

Let me know what you want to do :-D

sneaky with that Japanese bomber… don’t you think you have been mean enough to the Russian!!!

UK7.tsvg

Glad to hear you are back!!  Don’t forget about china and UK :-D

Yup,  no surprise there!!!

Rus7.tsvg

ummm…… you are clearly far superior to myself so if you want to stop wasting your time with this game I understand :|

Just let me know.  I will keep playing though!!!
