L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Yes agreed! Heavy downside of course being UK EU not having any navy at the moment and US having to re-consider their priorities + a German navy.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Sorry, except the newly built DD and sub.

[gamerman01]

@pejon_88 Right, I meant at the end of UK3

Don’t even remember why I went with 2 subs, I guess I really wanted to make you send a destroyer. Almost wondered why I didn’t attack with them, but now I know it’s because only after surviving with a DD do I know they won’t be needed at Iwo

I’ll have to check on the camp in Zone 6 possibility I had

[gamerman01]

Oh, I don’t even need to check. Probably didn’t want to be sitting in Z6 with no naval base

[gamerman01]

@pejon_88 said in L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2:

Wasn’t sure about the two US subs going to SZ6, must be some kind of trap ;)

I don’t even remember, I guess I wanted to strongly encourage you to send a destroyer up

Aaaannnnddd, I’m also fortunate the kamikaze missed. That was pretty big, actually

[gamerman01]

Sorry, I said it twice.

I think it just didn’t occur to me that you could kill everything with a destroyer and a bunch of air that has nowhere else to go anyway. Guess I can move the Russian stack just a little bit more aggressively knowing you will use some air on 6

Can’t see a mIC in Egypt being the wrong choice here.

It’s not a good game of A&A if you don’t have your hands around his throat at the same time he has his hands around yours.

[gamerman01]

I did post the French 3 move - it could easily be overlooked

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Haha, well put!

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 I saw it, but couldn’t find time to play :)

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 maybe ridiculous to ask, but casualties in Belarus? Two hits, you have 2inf + AAA. I attack with 3 inf + art.

[gamerman01]

Not silly at all - I would like to see your map first, though, so I can know if I want those guys to get sucked into the big Red vacuum or not :dancers:

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Haha yeah, should’ve posted it. Here goes:

[gamerman01]

Wow, I do not remember the WUK and Ukraine placement of R3. Looks like it was smart, but I have to figure out again what I’m doing here. Should have left myself a note. Must have thought it would be self-explanatory!

Seems like I should have had AA in Ukraine… eh, I probably had it all figured out 2 weeks ago.

That’s a tough one, not knowing your non-com, but I decide to lose AAA, infantry, thanks

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Yeah makes sense you meant to have an AA in Ukraine and W Ukraine.

[Pejon_88]

Based on your misses in Belarus, I thought it best to retreat.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Hope everything is good?

[gamerman01]

Doing awesome, other than my critical Russian misses!

Work has been very rewarding and busy. After sitting up at a desk doing computer work all day, I don’t want to sit at a desk at my computer in the evening, many times. I did give elche an Italian move - wicked can opener on London setting up a high stakes and risky invasion. And he literally just posted something.

You’re high priority for today or this weekend! Hope you’re good too
