Thanks. It was a fun game. But if I’m not mistaken there was at least one instance were I made a mistake (my Atlantic fleet was about to be sunk?!?) and the dice screwed you over. It’s a lot easier to “outplay” someonew when your mistakes are covered by good luck.  :-)

I’m up for a game using Battlemap…

London taken with 3 Armor, 3 Fig, 2 Tac and 2 Strat remaining

That went well for me. A very nice alternate reality :)

Thx and grats again, Trajan.

First of all, congratulations are due for a superbly consistent game and win (at least from my perspective). Happy to PM you with my thoughts.

no worries

BTW I noticed something in that game that I think is worth remembering.  The American bombers that sunk the sea lion fleet were around to bomb Germany later.  Germany could have spent a pile of money on G3 to build carrier(s) or an airbase for Holland.  OR, Germany could let the transports go, but suffer major strategic bombing a few turns later.  In this case SBR of Germany later in the game made germany either blow $20 (half a round’s income) on repairs.  America’s bomber were ultimately taken out, but only because Germany got the Long Range Aircraft and radar techs.  After the SBR, Germany could have mobilized out of West Germany, but then they would be one territory further away from Moscow.  We called this game after  round 7 and Germany was still not even up to the Smolensk/Bryansk line and Novgorod was iffy.  In my opinion sea lion left Germany in very bad shape.

Anyway I will post a new G1 shortly.

Thx Vance for the explanation, very reassuring.

Re the rules, no worries, I know them well (more importantly I know where to look). Errors might creep in due to the unaccustomed map, but I guess I can keep that to a minimum. I gladly accept any immediate correction of an error, in any case.

Yep, finding locals is tough (even tried with my gf…), especially ones that will challenge you to raise your own game (there are some, of course, but regular gaming is only a fantasy).
