Regardless, the inf and tank in Trans-Jordan are not only useless, but counter-productive. All this does is keep the Germans from taking that country, but if he wants to make such a huge mistake, you should let him. That would mean the battleship and transport would be sunk by UK1, with 1 bomber and 2 fighters.

As for going into the med, even if German planes aren’t in range, it’s still a mistake. All he needs to do then it put them in range in round 2, buy a carrier or interpose a destroyer, then destroy you in round 3. Your fleet is dead either way.

And that’s not even counting the fact that by sending it to the med for suicide, you forfeited the opportunity to either attack SZ 37 or sink the destroyer and transport in SZ 61 (while landing your plane in Szechuan to protect the US plane).

And it seems like you lost your bomber. Sorry about that! For future reference, I won’t intercept if I have fewer interceptors than you have attackers. I’ll edit your Japanese men myself. Which country do you want them on?

Bid of 9 for the Allies.

I’d say your bid is high enough. Just stop sending everything through Africa where it has very little impact and do some landings all over Europe instead. You’ll see Germany crumbling much faster this way.

I’m pretty sure that if you made cruisers cost 10 and battleships cost 18, it would just bring them in line with the other ships and it wouldn’t cause any balance issues.

Could be PBEM, by forum or in real time, I’m up for anything.

To give you an idea where I’m coming from, I played Classic and Revised to death and have played a few games of 1942SE. I dominate locally but have never played online. I’ve tried TripleA a bit against myself to get used to the interface and I think I’m comfortable enough with it to try an online game (the only thing I hate about it is that it lets you lose your planes instead of reminding you it’s illegal to leave them in attacked territories or sea zones without carriers, gotta look out for that). I hope I can find someone here who can beat me without having to give them a 20-IPC handicap. In fact, I’d rather lose than win (that way I’ve learned something), but I’ll do everything I can to win!

Any takers?

MarineIguana, it sounds like you play very much the way I do. I’d love to see how I’d fare against you. Would you care to try a Triple A game and put that streak to the test? We could make it a live game, a forum game or a PBEM game, as you prefer.
