Hi Wayne,

I grew up on a farm hence the nickname. (I signed up here 8 years ago when I picked up A&A anniversary edition but forgot about it until I started playing global this summer)

I’ll take a look at world at war. I’m binging on this right now as I have some free time. I’ll have a lot less time in a week or so but still hope to get a few hours in every week or two. Will let you know if I have time for other online games.

Enjoy the truck pull!

a couple of forum etiquette questions (along with another game I just started, this is my first forum game). When we choose casualties for our opponent I imagine there are moments where the choice isn’t obvious. Do they want to keep art or mechs? Damage a carrier or lose another ship or air? Do we ask here?

Also, if one makes a noncombat move or placement error, can one edit? What about combat moves? (although my sense from triplea is that these are harder to edit)

no scramble from me. Wasn’t sure if I should do that in game or just post here as you were still in combat move phase.

farmboy

I went through with the moves. We need a scramble order for Italy.

Also, I figured we have the china save if there were any concerns around the bid placement.

I just realized I have to edit in my British bid. Sorry, I had assume it was done. I had said sub in 109, fighter in 98 with the carrier and art on london. I’ll wait for confirmation before doing as it affects my turn.

The US turn is coming. I edited a move. I didn’t want to leave fighters on the carrier but on the adjoining territory (East US). I can change that back no problem. Wasn’t sure what the norms were around those kinds of edits.

no scramble.

I’ll put a British sub with the destroyer and transport in sz 109 and a British fighter with the carrier in the med on sz98.

Looking forward to this.

farmboy

Looking for a game of G40 if anyone is interested.

farmboy

Thanks for the welcome and the game. What is the next step? If it is a bid, I will put a bit on the allies of 18. If it is something else, let me know.

farmboy

In a game last week, my axis opponent prepared for sea lion with a massive transport and carrier build in the first two turns for Germany. On turn 3, the Italian and German fleet (with 9 loaded transports and 2 loaded carriers) combined next to Gibraltar so both could reach the US. As it was the US turn 3 and there was no declaration of war, I could still only build 3 units on each territory.

I had been splitting my US income between navy builds on the Pacific and Atlantic Coast (and preparing to liberate/support UK) and had two carriers on the Atlantic side. He was going for an Italian fleet hit on the US fleet to soften it in turn 3, to be followed by the German fleet which could then land 18 units in the US with air support. I had few land units because I was building naval and because I was moving troops to Hawaii.

This very nearly took me out. I had a destroyer on each coast. Because I could send 1 to 89 and 1 to 102 I could block the Italians while leaving enough of a fleet in 101 with a scramble to support it to prevent a German landing. He was forced to land in Canada but that gave me enough time to build just enough of a defense. Once his gamble failed, the game was mine, but it was a very near thing.

I don’t know if that is a reason for the sz 102 rule (along with the limitation on the movement of air units to UK) but it certainly saved me.
