no scram

must have missed something there… thought I had a lock on Italy… oh well, not like they were doing anything anyway

@karl7

why is everyone encroaching on Russia? Stop it! Go home!

@Argothair

AH! Ok. I will take some time to write up my impressions recommendations then.

@Karl7

I attacked your planes in greece. I chose bombers as casualties on theory that keeping your fighter was most important… which it was in any event.

@colt45554

the rule says you can but the engine won’t do it. You need to edit in carriers at start of turn and then just account for them latter when you purchase and then delete the extra ones.

@argothair

killlllllllllllllllllllllllll!

June 30, Vancouver BC, Deep Cove Fortress… It’s happening.

Listen on, listen on… fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring, and that was damn near death of us all! But now when men get to fighting, it happens in A&A and ends in A&A.

Nerds and ladies, dying time is here…

For the Axis: Directly out of the WASTELAND, he’s bad, he’s bold, he’s beautiful, he’s crazy! He’s LORD CURTMUNGUS (and karl7)

For the Allies: He’s the BALL CRACKER, death on foot, you know him, you love him, it’s GARGANTUA (and side kicks).

Straight up G40 BM, bid: Axis get 2 rerolls of any attack.

NONE SHALL SURVIVE!

@Argothair said in G40BML Argothair Allies vs Karl7:

That crap again? Yes, the AA hit well, but Japanese were +5 hits and UK as a whole was +1 hit, even including the AA fire. So below-average for the Allies on balance.

This game is very nearly over; it was a blunder on my part to build US bombers and send the US fleet to Iceland. If I had the opening to do over, I would have built carriers + fighters + destroyers, and sent the US Atlantic fleet to Gibraltar right away. Having the US fleet in the wrong sea zone set me back about two full turns, and you’ve played well enough all game that I haven’t been able to recover. I figured I’d leave the air force in India to see if I got very lucky (I did not) and then try a massive US attack on London to see if that gets lucky (I probably will not, if I even manage to get the attack off at all.) If the US attack doesn’t work then I’ll resign.

The attack on Italy was fun and entertaining, but ultimately no substitute for liberating London.

What are your go-to purchases for America when defending against Sea Lion?

Hmm, hard to say. Depends on a lot – what Japan and italy are doing etc.

One strategy is to just let London go, hope Russia holds on, and crush Japan.

But not sure that works anymore.

Anyhow, usually just buy carriers, at least 1 dd, transports and bombers. Bombers are important if you think you can sink the German Fleet in 110 and land in Scotland.

@colt45554

Oh no! I was hoping you’d wait a turn.

Russia is collapsing!

@karl7

whoops! here you go

@MillCreek

There’s been some discussion. Early next year at best.

@Argothair

the french died like dogs!

@colt45554

Can russia get a 5 turn armistice? We need time to rearm.
Thank you.

@argothair

DOH

@karl7

Bad dice and sobriety will be punished by reps on the bench!

Gather your strength!

@Karl7

The Allies just gave you a nice gift… yikes.

@colt45554

Leningrad will never fall! (until next turn)

@captainwalker

Yeah, I got some other games I need to clear up before I have room for more war.

Will be in touch.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Hear the guns roar!!!

Akkk! AKkkk! AKK!

Hear the AA guns scream!!!

Death, destruction! Fell deed awake! A red day! A gun Day! Ere, the soldiers rise!

April 30! TOMORROW! Noble men of ancient lineage will gather to determine who is the ONE in a contest of guile and strength!

8 Teams, 11 commanders, 8 games, and at the end there will only be one!

Let the spring slaughter commence!

We shall play in the tradition of our ancestors! We will embrace Rage and Honor in the spirit of Lord Curt Mungus! @Curtmungus

Updates will be forth coming!
