A lot of units are fated to die Round 1 (think US Pacific Fleet). The German Baltic Fleet is just one of them. The difference between the US and Germany is that Germany actually has a chance to do something before the UK blows the fleet out of the water. I think that money spent on saving this fleet is wasted. Use them round 1 to do some damage, and them wave goodbye.

Baloney…. I’ve proven on multiple occasions that I can lose no matter which side I play.  :-o

Now that we have a full dance card, how 'bout giving us newbies a little handicap when paired with the old heads? Say, like a two turn head start before our opponents attack? Yeah, that’s the ticket… :-D

Thanks for the info. I’ll see if I can somehow adjust the fonts or screen resolution to make it work.

Two quick questions on ABattlemap for whoever creates these modules.

1. My “InfoView” window seems to be too small to display all the information (line after “Land” is cut off, I assume it is total IPC value of sea forces).  I can’t seem to resize it so I can read it. Any suggestions?

2. Under the “InfoView” window, the NO values are shown on the line labeled “Oil”. It’s a minor issue, but couldn’t this line be edited to actually say “NO’s” ?

Thanks in advance!

@Cmdr:

There are a few reasons I advocate the Karelian Attack on Germany 1……

Honestly, with only 4 AA Gun shots, there’s a 33% chance you won’t lost ANY fighters give or take. (I just used LL to estimate the chance.)  Even if you do lose one, and I wouldn’t expect to lose more than one, with a 50+ income for Round 2, I think you can afford the replacement fighter!

Have to smile at this one. I tried this on G1, and the KAR AA gun took out three, I say again, three of my fighters at the opening.  Who would have thunk?  :?

Needless to say, the loss of 3 ftrs and my amphibious force does not bode well for Germany’s prospects.  Maybe next time….

I had trouble with viewing the entire page and accessing the controls. When the page initially loaded, it was larger than my display screen.  When I resized it to fit, there were no scroll bars so some sections were “off the page” and thus inaccessible.

Am I doing something wrong?

@ogrebait:

Haven’t connected with anyone yet. Still looking for a game of '41 w/NO’s. I prefer no tech, but could go either way.

If Questioneer doesn’t respond to your PM, let me know and I’ll play.

Sent a PM….

I’ll play you.  41-version, NOs- yes, but no tech.  You want Allies or Axis?  Still wanna go??

I only got a game in using the battlemap myself, but I am a long time AA player- Classic (when I was a kid) Revised, Europe, Pacific etc. and I’ve played AA50 about 7 times FTF (face-to-face games) with some good tourney players.

Sorry for the delay… I was out of pocket for a while. Sending a PM.

Ogre.

Still looking for an opponent. I would prefer a '41 scenario with NO’s, but I’m flexible on the set up. I mainly want to work through the mechanics of play on this forum and try out some opening strategies.

Thanks in advance.

Just starting out with play by e-mail/forum/online. I’ve got a couple of games under my belt, but I haven’t played one on this site yet. I’d like to try out a “practice” game of '41 to just work out the mechanics of play and test some opening strategies. Anyone interested in doing 3 rounds? I can go with or without with tech and NO’s.

I have ABattlemap, but can I’m open to other platforms if you don’t mind talking me through it.
