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

@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.

@mike64 as I said that seems to be too “gimmicky” for me.

OK I wil proceed with a barborssa type thing and try to factor in Italy.

So does Italy revert to German control in this game? I saw that somewhere…

@mike64 Hey Mike, so as I told you on the phone I often hear about guys doing the Sea Lion thing right off. And I sort of feel that is gimmicky.

Then again, I would sort of like to see it too because when I play the UK surely some axis players will try that right?

So before I take German 2 I am wondering how you think about this. Seems like we did a pretty standard opening move for both sides but it seems to me that German could buy 9 transports and then invade UK next turn.

What am I missing? Anyway, it’s not support Important. I am just trying to make sense of this amazing game…

The Mafia is too busy to fly today so no scramble

@mike64 OK Japan 1 is done. Lost a fighter but oh well.

mike-vs-jcat-g40-Japan-1.tsvg

@mike64 I see only 1 fighter in the Philippines that could do that right? The UK fighter in Burma cannot?

OK I’ll give it a try. I still don’t know who gets to bombard besides the BB. I gather that there are many versions of these games and some allow cruisers to bombard. Some versions even allow things like Jaanese destroyers to carry and land troops!

Anyway I guess I have to pause my attacks to see how you like your scrambled eggs…
