Is colombia bordering sz 89?

(I dont think it is, but why make the borders so complicated if it is not?)

@djensen I just attempted to support at the Gold level. Do please let me know if you don’t receive it.

@djensen same here, I donated for gold several weeks back and I really want my badge!!!

Just post the map with the edits you like

if the mongolian units are activated and then they become Soviet they can move whereever they like, china, india, japan australia. you name it

I am not sure if they want any support. I did my gold support in early november for 2023, but stil no badge or feed back. I assume they have enough funds then

There is no need to let the saves live for ever. They can be deleted yearly as far as I am concerned

i am sure it is fine. I will look at it when i do the move

I contributed $60 in july. Still waiting for my badge

Simon takes:

Fighters: Moscow, Malta, Stalingrad, Scotland
Subs: SZ110, SZ98
inf Yunnan
DD SZ91
Art Sudan
Tank Egypt
inf Gibraltar
Mech Burma

If you want to redo the whole turn and change your buy, just roll over again and let new dice stand. Is that fair?

@oysteilo said in Tutor game: AndrewAAGamer (X) vs trulpen [and everyone else] (A+50) OOB:

for a 50 bid. I would take:

British
Scotland: 1 fighter
Sz 110, 91 and 98: 1 sub each
sz 71: 1 transport
Egypt: 1 infantry

China
Yunnan: 1 inf

Anzac
sz 62: 1 sub
New Guinea: 1 inf

The China and sz 62 bid is to discourage a J1 attack. J1 attack is extremely powerful when playing OOB version

That’s a great bid. Suspect however that the inf in NG will not be accepted.

all right, then an inf in alexandria or so.

Some might think 3 subs are too much. I think it is a strong bid, because in sz 110 you can choose to have the sub fight or not, combined with a possible 3 fighter scramble and a scotland scramble it becomes “impossible” for Germany to kill both 110 and 111

But most likely the sub in 110 is not going to fight. Now, you are in great shape if you want to do taranto raid, but if you want to stack 92 you also put great pressure on Italy with your 3 subs and everything else you might put there. So the sub bid is both defensive (110 and 91) but also highly offensive!

Good to go?

I just think it is important to discuss why you suggest what bid where and discuss it a little bit if this is going to be a tutor game!

ok. i wait

since this is a tutor game i am throwing in my 2 cents here. If you play OOB with a healthy bid at least +50.

Priority 1: stack Yunnan R1. Bid: 1 chinese inf and 2 russian fighters (moscow and stalingrad) 23 ipc

Priority 2: fighter scotland and sub 110. This makes it too risky to take out both british fleets 110 and 111. Now we are at 39 ipc total

Personally i would also place sub in egypt sz and maybe also in gibraltar and canada. Here you might have other priorities and place men in eastern USSR, but really I dont see the need for more than 2 artillary to team up with the 18 russians +2 AA

For BM at 20:

french inf to normandy (makes vichy more complicated)
fighter scotland
sub egypt
1 ipc to india

i know. Thats why we do round by round in these battles. If you save undamaged carriers and hit 11 instead of 18 it is a disaster for you. Still you have a chance to make a dent to the british. i think I would have made same selection. Hard to say and no “correct” answer

Think it’s possible to have multiple tutor games going. Not much of a problem. I’m not the man for OOB though.

I thik if ABH and crockett36 are doing a tutor game at 69 in bid it is smooth to set up a new thread and we discuss the bid there

nothing wrong with your defensive hitting as always :blush: a coulple of edits

playing a game that lasts 30 rounds is not fun in my mind. It is okey once or twice, but in BM it happens almost 50% of the time I think.

@trulpen said in trulpen (X) vs oysteilo (A+5) BM3:

It’s after dice rolls, but I would say that the battle in sz44 doesn’t affect that decision, so it’s ok with me.

Thanks. I forgot to move France.
