The Klou and I are back in FLA and looking to play some G40.
This time we are willing to play either side.
TripleA Lobby – once again kudos to these people. Many fun hours spent there.
Marathon session – we’re on vacation and we want to play until there is a clear resolution.
LOW LUCK, No Tech
Skype? It makes it easier and more fun.

Used all three approaches. It depended on how the allies spent/placed their bid.
We are closing the books on this one. Vacation ends tomorrow; back to our respective homes.
In four matches with Pete we went 1-2-1 (He got us twice and we all agreed to call one a draw.)
Simon was unable to beat us, but he showed us some things to think about.
But this exercise was not about the wins and losses, rather about opening our eyes to new allied tactics and strategies.
In that light, both Pete and Simon are big winners – we are looking forward to the chance to use our new insights in games against each other and online.
Simon, we have stuff to do today (Monday) in the afternoon and into the early evening.
And we are in the midst of a match with Pete.
Tuesday is a baseball game.
Wednesday looks good for a rematch. Afternoon same start time as before.
We have suffered our first defeat.
Pete’s strategy was well planned and we made mistakes on both sides of the board.
And Pete capitalized very effectively. VERY effectively.
The rubber match starts tomorrow.
Clear and concise.
Makes sense – now.
Thanks P@nther
Actual game situation in TripleA lobby:
Allied navy with shipping of many nations (US and UK carriers with planes and supporting BB, Cruisers and DD; ANZAC Cruiser; French DD; UK and US Transports; Russian Inf on UK transport) in SZ 95.
No Russian shipping.
No Italian ships.
Russian turn; Russian inf unloads onto Sicily, no defenders.
Three Italian fighters in southern Italy.
Can the Italian fighters scramble? We think not, as the shipping is not involved in the battle (it is the Russian turn).
TripleA gave the option to do so. Scramble declined for above reason.
If scramble is allowed who do they attack? just the UK Transport with the Russian Inf? Its not the UK turn.
Can we get an OFFICIAL ruling from Gamerman01 or Krieghund or another rules deputy.
Thank you
Since Yunnan is alive I would say yes, but I’m not sure what the accepted "house rule " is for that.
People have done it to me before.
It is OK by us.
Sounds good. Probably sometime between 4 and 5 pm
We’ll look for you in the lobby.
Next game, I want this bid:
4 USSR
10 British
9 UK_Pac
That’s only 23. Two to somebodies bank then, :-D
We have baseball games the next two days (Monday and Tuesday) so we would have to start a little later; after the baseball game is over (an hour or two later than our previous starts).
Klou is busy Wednesday and Thursday, but I could play 1v1 on those days. I’d be willing to be the allies at 25 if you want to switch.
Let us know what works for you.
Sounds good, we’ll look for you at the same time in the tripleA lobby.
We’ll give you more if you want (25+).
Waited an hour and still want to play, but we are on the east coast of US; late here 1:30am.
Send us an email or post a time here. We’ll try to get a mutual time despite the time difference.
OK. We’ll look for you in the TripleA lobby. signed in as klou and gamergray.

We’re looking for very good Allied player(s).
We’ll give you 20 IPC’s
My friend and I have concluded that there is an Axis strategy that cannot be stopped. (assuming we don’t make some stupid error)
Not even when we give the Allies 20+ points.
Looking for opponents not a discussion.
Using suggestions from the likes of ItIsILeclerc, Axis-dominion, Gargntua, Arthur Bomber Harris, Adam514, DizzKneeLand, Gamerman01, and too many others to mention, we’ve tried to develop a counter for the allies, but with no success.
Of course, the problem may be in our marshaling of the allied forces. We invite you to school us.
Our proposal:
We play the Axis
20 IPC to allies
TripleA Lobby – kudos to the sourceforge team. Many fun hours spent there.
Marathon session – we’re on vacation (spring training baseball) and we want to play until there is a clear resolution.

Skype? It makes it easier and more fun.
We’ve become prideful and arrogant. Someone needs to teach us a lesson.
Seriously, show us what we are missing.
email mail klousia@yahoo.com
Send a time and date. Will respond asap.
On vacation until April 1 2016.
What prevents the SS from engaging the AP(transport)?
The sub stops the transport if is is alone.
If the BB or CA don’t engage the SS why does the SS not stop the transport?
Clarification, please.
1. Does a sub prevent bombardment from cruisers and battleships (no destroyer present) I think attacker can choose to ignore the sub, right?
That’s right, the sub can be ignored and so the ships can bombard, unless the defender scrambles something, which brings the sub(s) into the battle and they can’t be ignored
But, a lone transport cannot make an amphibious assault against a Sub. A surface ship is needed to drive it off.
So,
If the BB and the CA do not drive off the SS, how is the AP able to get past the SS?
If the BB and/or the CA engage the SS, then no bombardment.
This seems inconsistent. But if that is the way the rule works, OK
