@Panther roger

@AldoRaine Ping…

@barnee I agree it is a beautiful board. And I like that it seems to be closer to realistic borders.
That said, It’s an adjustment from the G40 map that I’ve played with for years. Not sure if I want to relearn it. Because although each boundary is faithfully connected in an identical manner as the G40 map, you have to revisit how things connect because they seem different visually, even though they aren’t in game play.

Added German edits. Cheers!

@BombsAway Thanks. GG. Maybe see you in the playoffs? Cheers, surfer

@surfer thank you sir

@surfer

Yeah, you’re right.

Hey mate.
How are things, are you having great holidays?

Let me know if you have time for a rematch now.

@surfer GG, well played, was fun! I will post the result.

@dawgoneit ok. Enjoyed the game, thanks.

Thank you very much.

With Norway I didnt see all the fighters could land there. I thought next round I conquer Norway back but it costs time and money, my sleep, more alkohol and cigarettes to get it back. Therefore I couldnt attack the russians and I was frightend that you conquer Russia back.

Scramble in sz97?

Yes I felt like I was able to contain Japan for a while but ya tough to match Japan airforce. But with no pressure on Europe I was doomed sooner or later.

@sovietishcat sure. Still want allies? Or maybe just swap sides?

@giallo no rush, but sure we can do the same. I would guess that the bid was pretty even since it went 20+ rounds.

@sovietishcat Thanks! GG. These 2 games have had a unique twist with the Russians trying to push into Japan early. I’m not sure if it was useful or not. The Japanese made short work of the Russians and it greatly helped the Germans as there was nothing to worry about from the East.

But the Japanese were hamstrung for the rest of the game. I simply just built a regional power that seemed to shrink and grow fitfully. It did ensure that Japan did not DOW J1, but Japan always has a hard time winning the game (for me anyway). So I wonder what would have happened with a less aggressive Russian push. – Impossible to know, as the game would have completely different character. Strange how 1 move changes the game so much.

@cornwallis said in Can Tac Bombers Escort a Bombing Raid, but choose not to bomb?:

@panther but what if you send them in to bomb an air or Naval base, then they do participate in the dog fight?

Yes.

@surfer thank you for the games.
I’m pretty close to being able to play extra games. so when you get there maybe we can play some more.
