Italian scramble decision in the Mediterranean

Yes,  but you still swept the board.

Soviets built forces, moved away from the border.

I’m feeling bold.

Scramble three into sz 110; order of loss in sz 110 is damage BB, then cruisers, then fighters, last one to go is damaged BB

Scramble one into SZ 111.

I understand.  Then, I’ll go with one sub in SZ 98 and one UK armor in Egypt.

Have you tried playing Global, using 1940 rules, but the 1942 or 1941 setup?

OK - 6 IPC for a sub in SZ 98, 6 IPC for 2x infantry in Gibraltar.

I’m ready for another.  How about a bid of 12?  Are you OK with me playing allies?

The TripleA I have doesn’t have 1914 on it.  Do you have a link, or a file, to share?

I want to look at the 1914 system for PBEM first.  Give me an hour or two.

You are correct, big error on my part.  Good game.

Germans strafe RUS infantry in Vologda again.  Bombing raid on Moscow fails.

Italy 6.  Cleaned up some pesky soviet outliers.

I’d enjoy a 1914 game with tournament rules.

Could be, unfortunately attrition works in your favor.  However, I have cleared out much of the underbrush, have a solid footing inside USSR.

Japan retook all of the money islands, also captured Dutch New Guinea.

Bombing raid - I hit three fighters, but your AA fire killed 2 of 3 bombers.

Executed a strafing run on RUS infantry in Vologda, killed 4 soviet for the loss of 2 german inf.

The game mechanics are pretty similar.  I guess the forum allows anybody to tap in to the game we have underway and see what’s going on.  I don’t think anyone could hack the game though.  If I were well organized, I could analyze my opponent’s moves against other players and try to determine what he’s going to do in any given situation.

The forum, when it’s working correctly, prints out all of the unit buys, the moves, and new unit placement.  With play-by-email (PBEM), you receive a file via email that shows the final situation.  I haven’t figured out what I’m doing wrong, but when I play, the forum doesn’t capture all of the moves I make, so I include a brief summary of what I’ve done.

For me, the advantage to PBEM is that it’s easy to scan my email and see when the other guy has sent his move.  With the forum, I have to go into this system and look for new moves in our game.

I will need your email address to initiate the game, as MARTI will send you the combat results.

Germans are bombing factory in Moscow with 3x bomber, escorted with 3x fighters.  Do you want to intercept?

It was in a way - I felt that even if you attacked, you’d be so weakened that my second fleet in Singapore could mop up.
