Ha! I think I have it!

USA1 buys a CV for New York, USA2 moves it to SZ123 but leaves the fighters on Iceland. USSR3 two planes leave Leningrad, kill the blocker and land on the USN’s CV. If the USSR Barents Sea sub is still alive that can join also.

Requires trimming my USA1 purchases to 1inf 1TT 2DD 1ftr 1CV.

scramble in sz110 or sz111?

Not sure how recycling of dice works with the league rules. I’d rather not raise eyebrows.

Yeah, GG.

I’ll switch. I do better as Allies apparently.

I’m ready for a rematch. Same sides or switch?

Congrats on your promotion to tier 2 BTW.

Yeah, ok.

I’ll take a sub in SZ98.

thanks for the game!

I think this game has eluded me. I concede.

BTW, I don’t really think the attack on SZ33 was that much of a Hail Mary. It was about a 50/50 battle IIRC, which just didn’t come off. I don’t really think there was any way of me winning the game without succeeding in taking down the TT(s) in that attack though.

@simon33:

Oh this game is toast for me. You’re about to get on Rome and Berlin won’t be too far behind, meanwhile Japan can’t win. I’ll post the result.

Good game.  You had bad luck in there UK. But then you had some awesome luck later…. would’ve been different game it that luck was reversed.

You can be allies, ill set it up

No worries. I guess I’ll need to defend Rome a bit better in future.

Thanks for the game.

yep, gg!

thanks for the game. it’s real late here so I’m going to sleep but if you want a rematch we can start tomorrow.

Congrats on the bombing fix, well done, indeed!

Regarding those automatisms the benefit IMHO depends on the user: For well experienced players this might help speeding up the game. For beginners and those using TripleA to learn the mechanics of Axis and Allies, I would prefer not to leave too much to the engine and possible automatisms (see my above statement). So giving the choice to either run (whatever) processes automatically or manually would be just perfect, IMHO.

Yes, it has to be reactive.

Even with the bid I proposed, Tirano points out to me that they can still easily take down SZ 110 and SZ 111 as long as they bring the BB in.  Don’t know if keeping that UK navy is even possible but after the G42 lessons learned, you need that on the board naval stuff as the nucleus of your fleet if you want to have any chance of even Annoying Germany First.  Unless the bid is allowed to be placed all in one territory (like in the tournament), there doesn’t seem to be a way to save it on G1, and if you are allowed to place all in one territory, he says, why not stack France?  Seems sound…then he cant attack SZ 110 and 111 AND Paris.

Then we fall back to making Egypt and Med Navy tougher, suppressing Italy earlier, like you guys said.  Guess its just the clearest weak point.

@simon33:

I’m going to take that as meaning “You don’t have to, but it may be advised”. On that point, I’m happy to agree.

It’s 79% IIRC correctly of killing a 3ftr scramble and the BB with 3ftrs (2 from London) and no sub.

Yeah, that was my intended meaning. Your way of writing it conveys what I meant. I guess it all comes down to what you’re willing to risk percentage wise in that battle. Some people might be comfortable with something in the 80s, others might prefer a higher percentage.

The great thing about G40 is there’s never really a right or wrong answer. I’ve never looked back from the classic or even the revised editions once I tried G40.

@simon33:

I’ve been asked to get it verified that this is indeed a bug in Triple-A. Probably in the map/xml setup.

We agree that it should be Pacific, right?

Perhaps no one has noticed that it is in fact Europe.

Correct, but it is in the game notes:

@Game:

Rules specific to 1940 the engine does not do, but you must follow:
…

(EM) India (UK Pacific) must pay for repairing any damaged facilities on the pacific half of the board (instead of London paying) (use edit mode to subtrack the PUs from India and give back to London).
…
