No worries Mike

Hey I have another rules question: While I doubt I would bother to attack that giant fleet you got rocking out by Java, how are order of loss handled? Is that a fixed thing or does it depend on each battle? And who specifies this ?

This is such a complex game; it makes my normal chess games look simple!

And there are no Economic victories right? In that expansion game that I told you about and which consumes most of my play time, that’s a big deal. But in this game the Axis have to actually beat the allies and I just don’t see how they can do it.

Cheers

@mike64 How it going Mike? Is it my turn or have you done Russia yet?

WOW what a Nail Biter - all nerves rolling that bomber vs your lone Brit in Turkey !!! In hindsight, however, I guess that is NOT worth the risk…

Having said that, however, one thing I picked up recently in this game is the knowledge that masses of planes can and often should take out ground units.

Anyway I still don’t really know what to do and figure these Axis and Allies games are likely all set up for an early Axis victory but if not that, eventual Allied victory since the allies have such a territorial advantage.

Sorry for the delay Mike.

@mike64 Great note, Thanks.

Yea I do want to start another game and have at least something of a strategy guide like: Germany does the usual Barbarossa type thing but maybe has some options in the med.

And I had NO IDEA what to do with Italy so anything would be helpful there.

And Japan is fun actually. And I can sense that the usual play for them is to hide in the upper left - but I had no idea that Russia could reinforce there.

I’ve a few personal crisis at the moment so I would like us to keep playing this game just so that I can learn what to do. Then start a new game in a week or two when hopefully the crisis have been resolved well.

I’m definitely having fun with this game in any case and hope that you will too even though I am a beginner.

I’ll get another turn out soon.

@mike64 I double checked it and it is fine. I go confused over the buy - so when it came time to place the air base I bought, AHA, like magic it was replaced by two subs and inf…

In other words , It is all fine and it’s your turn. It was easier to just place the subs and inf ad then edit them out and put in that airbase.

Sorry for that - I need to further develop game play as well as my skills in this game

JohnnyCat

@mike I made some big mistakes on that turn and tried to fix via edit but screwed that up too

I think I should have just started it over. what do you think?

JohnnyCat

@mike64 I have no idea what to do

@mike64

Hey Mike - did I miss your turn? I recall your texts from earlier today about the site being broken but I don’t see any updates since then… THANKS

JohnnyCat

@mike64 OK no worries Mate. I don’t want to push anything…

I’m too sleepy to finish my current turn tonight so I’ll say GOOD NIGHT now and take it up tomorrow after noon. Cheers

Hey Mike,

Hope you having a good weekend. Sorry for the delay but I was playing an actual boardgame yesterday A lord of the Rings thing.

For me to make any decent long term challenge for you I would like to suggest that you speak to me about your strategy and comment on mine. These are all “practice” until I actually learn it. Otherwise I might not get to the point of actually enjoying the game.

In this game I am trying to just brute force a Barbarossa-type operation but have no clue after this.

Oh and I HIGHLY recommend that you start playing the G40 EXPANSION UHD Boxes. In fact, I would suggest that we not wait and start one now! I plan to get good and go to the Denmark Tournament this coming fall.

Given your skill and experience I am positive that you will enjoy this far more complex game. There are many new units and much historical realism and those new units DRAMATICALLY increase the depth of strategy and play.
