@barnee This should have gone to the other thread with you and panzer, lol. Early Alzheimer :)

@barnee

Yep, that’s correct. I wanted to look it up to prove it because I believe I directly asked him in the chat, but chat has been f*cked for a very long time now, at least the full version of it. I am unable to scroll, so it doesn’t show all chats or the full conversations. The little chat window works fine though, but that only shows a number of the most recent chats.

@VictoryFirst

so what is correct lol

So yeah you can choose the 3 CV hits and then the BB hit. You don’t have to choose the BB directly after 1 CV hit.

@barnee @Panzerstahl-Helm

Yeah so I asked Captain this a while ago. I believe he said you could choose as many CV hits as you want, as long as you follow each BB hit with at least 1 CV hit.

@barnee

The Swiss are out lol :)

I will call this game. My kamikaze attacks against Italy and France did not result in a breakthrough and Constantinople is about to fall. TUV difference is now over 300 and the Entente production is significantly higher.

I think I should have tried to trigger the Russian Revolution. Receiving the extra income from Moscow, Sevastopol, and Kazakhstan was nice, but during the whole game, I had a fear of the British moving to Sevastopol and liberating Russian territories. On top of that, I had to defeat the substantial remainder of the Russian army in Galicia myself. I think in the end, it wasn’t worth the cost.

I thought I had you when I was able to attack Alsace on turn 9. We both lost 40 infantry, and trading in this game is generally in the attacker’s favor as I only lose two points of attack for each infantry, and you three points of defense. However, the attack on Belgium on the 11th turn was a complete disaster for the CP and I think it was the turning point on the Western Front. I rolled -8.67, and you rolled +3. On average, I would have gotten a TUV change of +8 in that battle, but it turned out to be -30. And the following French counter-attack was lethal as well, resulting in another TUV swing of -28.

However, I think my strategic mistake of capturing the entirety of Russia was ultimately the deciding factor in the CP’s loss. If you moved up with the British to Sevastopol with a large army or to Tyrolia with the Italians and Americans in the mid-game, I think this game would have ended a lot sooner. My defenses were pretty weak and you could have grabbed a lot of income.

Thank you very much for playing. This was an exciting game until the end. Your strategy with the Entente was solid. Let me know if you want to play again! 😁

Yes, I am just able to read how many units there are, except for the last two pics.

This is what I see.

I believe I discovered a bug

The Russian Archangel objective is active, even though there is a US Heavy Bomber in Moscow

Heh heh I don’t think I will stack up Novgorod. This is the result of my test run:

Russians win with a tank army and their air force :)

Looks like two planes will get dusted :) I need to control Belarus otherwise I am toast :)

Well if you look at it from the sunny side, there are now a lot fewer of those fcking mines lol

So here is the save of turn 11

exp-game-5-victory-A9-F9.tsvg

Will check the incomes and proceed with G12 asap

Lol not sure why I called it A9 F9. It was turn 11 xD

Heh heh your mines are heavy hitters :)

@barnee

Oh no, I completely forgot! Actually there were six tanks - one was railed to Chinese territory, Shensi or something. I always forget their names :) Do I need to roll for that one separately? Or just three rolls and I can choose my casualties?

I believe you get to choose which units die so I’ll just roll three dice and see how many hits there are.

[dice 3d6]

does not look *good :)

And I can upvote again! Yes 😊

Heh heh it was Shensi. My Chinese geography is top-notch! Lol

Unfortunately TripleA can’t deal with the powers of the combat engineer :)
