I’m trying to make edits and repost but its not letting me repost. And I will need to go to sleep so can’t figure this out…

There are two edits I want to make. Instead of transporting units to Norway, I want to move the 2 inf to France. And instead of moving all the units from France to N Italy, I only want 5 inf and 1 AA in N Italy. The marine will also stay in W Germany.
So at the end of the turn it would look like 4 inf and 2 art in France, and 5 inf and 1 AA in N Italy, 3 inf and AA in Norway, and 2 inf, 2 mech, marine and Bomber in Germany. None of this is impacted by Russia so if you don’t mind me making the edit after, I can do so.

@farmboy the 2 inf, 2 mech, marine and bomber should be in W Germany to be clear.

@Amon-Sul they should but when I started the game I didn’t realize that setting was clicked.

We spoke about it early in the game. I had tried to see if I could redo the settings but we would have had to restart the game to do so.

You haven’t bought a bomber yet right? I thought that was worth confirming as I had thought you might have bought a US one earlier. Its not on the board now if you did, but if so, then we would have both bought one bomber at the more expensive rate.

USA only starts with one thought right.

@Amon-Sul Yeah, I’m not used to having Japan struggling at this point. If I’m going to lose, normally Japan starts to struggle around now but has control of SE Asia and the islands.

Your approach is a good one and I’m thinking through how to counter. I reacted to it by going for a J4 since I thought I could keep the US out of the game for longer. But I’m now wondering if a J1 or J2 and an earlier German naval build might have been a better choice. Waiting for the J4 meant letting you dictate the play in the pacific and that may have been a mistake.

I see JDOW is going for a G2 in response. I think that is hte right choice, but of course its one, one has to decide on right from the beginning.

@Amon-Sul said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

I dont know if i moved the subs from South Africa to the Red Sea. If not, please, do it for me. Thanks

forgot as well so reposted with that edit.

@Amon-Sul I didn’t look at this closely initially thinking that a scramble would be hopeless. But the point of the scramble here wouldn’t be to deny the landing but to deny your bombardment so I almost certainly would have done so in this case, especially since the combat favours me without the bombardment. I’ve already done my turn and rolled combat so I think we can just move on. I should have reviewed this more carefully. But thought I should let you know for future combats like this, that it is better to check.

@Colt45554 Jan 1st is when it starts. Although games that finish after Jan 1st count towards next year’s season so it is quite possible that games that start now will count towards next year. I believe the moderator here is gamerman but there might also be others. I’m pretty sure it is separate from the site though.

Also, if you are new, it can sometimes be a little hard to find your first game. But @chaptim expressed interest in a game a few days ago and I don’t think he found it yet.

also the game didn’t let me move the German sub into 109 so I edited that in as well.

when I saved it it offered 7Fre. I changed that to Ger but forgot the 7

@Amon-Sul sounds good.

Same problem as before. So here is the saved game. I’m not sure how to post just the summary so I cut and paste it below. triplea_35875_8jap.tsvg

@farmboy I’ll hope for the aa. On my phone so the autocorrect mangled that

@Amon-Sul right. Something is messed up with our game unfortunately. I’m guessing the updates as we were playing did it

even with the airbase out of commission, make sure to ask for the scramble on the attack on the fleet. It looks to me like your odds are around 85% and depending on what the board looks like, I might still scramble.

I’ll scramble the tac to 99 and the rest of the air will scramble to 97 will want to identify casualties but not sure if I can stick around so it might be a bit slower.

Conserve Italian fleet over German where equal. And German air over Italy air where equal

yeah. Good, but I needed to beat that average. I was hoping you would get diced :)

I’ll keep the Battleship
