@mainah Well, I guess I did enough to prevent a sealion attempt. Time to get the Eastern front started!

@mainah No scramble in sz110.

and yeah, the new objectives gives both sides a LOT of reasons to be working hard in the med. I always thought it was hard for Italy to get moving in the Med with only the two rather simplistic objectives, and little reason for UK to get in there until much later. Now… a heck of a lot more interesting. looking forward to seeing how that plays out. Already different!

@mainah Good to see I’m not the only one missing a move! ;-) These Vichy Rules really change up Europe and the med! Round 2…mvsk-fr1.tsvg

@mainah and… I forgot to non-com some units in Britain. I made those moves in edit mode. Sorry for the confusion. Clearly the crashing and the rust of not playing in some time is making itself evident! Hope you are getting all the dicey results. I’ve had trouble with crashing of the dicey before, but not on this newer computer. mvsk-uk1.tsvg

@mainah so, dicey crashed after ethiopia. but it did go through. tank and mech remains. Ran sz106 and sz96, no hits. then I started the big battle and realized I unselected the tac but forgot to select the other fighter. So, I’ll run through it all again and edit back to what happened the first times. Ugh, Sorry for my error.

@mainah sorry for the delay. crazy week and just got time to actually make a move. So, this variant is quite different with the french fleet effectively out of the game. Makes for a stronger Italy for sure.

Yeah, not great on the sea battles for Germany, but really good on land! That will be trouble for the allies later. Always loved the CV purchase R1. With saving the BB for later, also will be trouble for the allies.

@mainah scramble 111. Let’s see what happens!

@mainah Having trouble opening the file. Giving me a “newer version” of tripleA. So, have downloaded and installed 2.5.22294. What are you running?

@Robson Just a little concerned for you. I can only assume that life has consumed you! I hope everything is OK and nothing is too serious.

@robson Just checking in on you. Hope all is well.

@Robson Very interesting opening for sure on this one. triplea_36714_2italy.tsvg

@robson Hey there. Good to hear. Just got back from a “no-kid Spring Break” trip… so full relaxed and waaaayyyy behind at work. I’ll take a look and get back at you soon.

@robson Sorry to hear about your wife’s illness. Hope she shakes it soon and that her immune system gets better over time. Hearing a lot about folks that have had difficulties like her AFTER having Covid.

What a thrill to get together and play face to face for a few days! I just checked Global War 36 out. It’s a huge game! I believed I played the old 39 version when I was a kid, but have not tackled it since. I bet you need all three days to finish it! Have fun. I will be out of town all of this coming week so might not be able to respond to your post, but glad you will have some time to play again.

@Robson Just checking in to see how you are doing. Obviously you have become very busy, so just want to make sure you are still interested in the game. No pressure at this point as I am quite busy myself, but I’m definitely interested in continuing if you are. Talk to you soon.

@robson Good to hear that the family is doing well. And yes, winters are different here as well now. I sincerely hope that humanity has not completely messed up the climate so bad we can’t recover. As for our government, we continue to support Ukraine, but not sure how long that political will is going to remain in place. Concerned that there are many fringe conservative voices in the US that don’t really care that democracy is being threatened by authoritarian regimes in a dramatic and direct way. US resisted WW1 and WW2, so maybe that’s just our way. Safe travels and hope the business trip goes well.

@robson Just checking in to see how things are in your world. We had a bad ice storm last week that messed up a good chunk of Texas. I have friends without power now for over a week! We faired well, just lost some tree limbs to the ice.

@Robson UK is up!

triplea_36714_2jap.tsvg

@robson Yeah, you never know… I’ve tried this move a few times over the years and even taking London does not give any assurances of an Axis victory! Lost a few times after taking London. This version is different with a victory token going to Axis after taking London, so gives me a bit more incentive. Regardless, definitely different and fun. We shall see!

@robson Sorry for the delay. Realized you gave me an opportunity to potentially take London. Have never actually won doing that… but hey, why not give it a try! This is definitely an interesting and unique opening for the game. Much fun.triplea_36714_2ger.tsvg
