@Amon-Sul that is correct

forgot to note that one uk inf still on US transport in 92

@farmboy on my phone but looks like I forgot to move the UK battle ship. Will edit that in on the Anzac turn.

was able to post a little early, but its fine if you want to amend the Italy air.

no worries about the language. Its frustrating when one gets dice like that. I’ll look at it now, but if I can’t make my move quickly, it will likely be tomorrow as well.

@Amon-Sul yes. Will do when I can get to the Soviets.

Definitely an interesting move and not what I was expecting Italy to do.

Same decision. No scramble. Sub will fight but will submerge when the destroyer is destroyed.

@Amon-Sul not sure. I didn’t worry about it much since it was a miss but I’m wondering if I understood the rules correctly. Maybe the subs first strike happens before the submerge? In which case there can be more risk to playing it that way. Or maybe it is a triple a error.

@Amon-Sul said in L20 #1 Amon-Sul (X) vs farmboy (A+12) BM3:

i ll need time to prepare this move. italy seems the easiest, but its not, not just because of the crowded Med, but because of the connection of the move with Germany, even with Japan.

but i ll give my best to not keep U wait long.

cheers

All good. take your time!

@Amon-Sul I assume it would be 1 fighter against 2 carriers and a destroyer. Yeah, I won’t scramble.

@Amon-Sul I like the data tracking you are doing. Its interesting.

assuming no scramble in 99

there were some issues with the transports in 99. I wanted to attack with one transport but it took inf from two and that made unloading after difficult. I’ve edited in the corrections I want.

Also, dice have gone both ways (so I can’t complain) but this has been a good dice round for you. Ouch!

@JDOW I’d certainly be interested. This has been an interesting game for me already. The air in Carolines is a frustrating problem I’m not used to dealing with. And you are pushing me harder in the Middle East than I am used to as well. And I’ve never built so many soviet air this early in a game.

Turn will likely be coming tomorrow morning (its midnight where i am now) I think I know what the Soviets are doing but want to see it with fresh eyes first.

@Amon-Sul All good. I’ve been a bit busy and this has been a difficult turn to figure out. Hope to play it this morning, but not sure.

I had opened up the original file but I added in the edit. It was just the sub to 113 right?

will finish the turn later. And might adjust the US ncms as well.

thanks for the game! It was quite challenging. I think the general issue is that when you go really hard for one region in the game, you give your opponent space to push in other areas. But your opponent has to recognize that early and adjust early otherwise you would win it. But even once I had thought I had you contained, it was a very difficult fight.

And your willingness to gamble early also forced me to play very conservatively as well.

carrier in 98

GL and HF!
