OOB Oysteilo +40 v Gamerman01 with tech - UHD map

[gamerman01]

VERY possible!!
I remember hating TripleA when I first started it
I’m hoping for the “fog of board” to affect us both
This one’s for fun! But you know I will do everything possible to overcome that start.

I’ll look at those dice again - I think there were only two hits in round one of Paris which is also much more weighty than the average dice shows because the allies got a lot more shots back

[gamerman01]

Not only some of the tiny borders (our extensive knowledge of the G40 board will help a lot with that) but the different places they put the units and transports look like warships to me.
So misunderstanding what units are where could be absolutely disastrous.
You have to have a first game before you can have a 10th, right?
I love the flesh in the infantry and the torpedos on the tacs

TWO hits in Paris. All 6 tanks missed.
Allies roll UP a hit in defense - FIVE
Germans ALMOST average in round 2
Allies roll UP ANOTHER hit in round 2 looool
Germans roll DOWN TWO in round 3 what in the world
Allies roll UP almost ANOTHER HIT in round 3???
Germans roll DOWN more than another hit in round 4 this is unbelievable
Allies almost roll one hit under for once
And then when it doesn’t matter, 5/6 German tanks hit. Mercifully for once, the french miss one time.

How do I have 6 tanks left??? That’s actually only about 4-5 mech and artillery that I lost above average, it feels like it was even worse than that.
Two hits in round 1 and took 5 back, woooow

I think thats about right, you were supposed to be +28 and ended up +4. so 24 is about 4 mech and 2 art more than the average 7 inf + 1 art. My fighter missed the last 3 rounds of the battle too, so it could have been much worse… I am not expecting that to bring much joy to you though

[oysteilo]

hi! How is this coming along? i think you are up now? Just keep me posted if you need extra time. It is a friendly game

[gamerman01]

Somehow I never noticed that you moved.
I was waiting on you the whole time

Glady you nudged!

[gamerman01]

Yeah, I didn’t even have the game saved in my folder - what in the world. You only had one short post after the move. No idea how that happened…

[gamerman01]

Should be posting tomorrow, finally
Thanks for patience

[gamerman01]

OK, you strongly encourage a J1 that I’m not used to on a map we’re not used to lol

Tech missed, can’t buy a marine anyway, and

Do you scramble from the Philippines? Do you scramble from HAWAII??!

[oysteilo]

my first impression is, I dont encourage J1… but maybe i do. i havent seen a J1 Hawaii move in a decade or so, so I need some time to consider. Are you Magnus Carlsen??? Trying to outplay me from day one 1 by doing odd moves???

[gamerman01]

@oysteilo I did refrain from sending a destroyer to NSW

[gamerman01]

A major reason not to do J1 is to hit Yunnan with everything. I know about the stack Yunnan strategy but I don’t think I’ve seen THAT for a decade

MAP

There is an island off Amur that is divided between sz 5 and 6 and is half soviet and half japan.

it is a change but I think it has little to none practical meaning except special play. Any other weird things you see?

[gamerman01]

I did attach the map
My Jap airplanes are flying out over the Pacific, with Pearl Harbor in sight. They’re running out of fuel! Do the boys wake up and get in their Hawaii planes, interrupting their vacation, or do they sleep in?

Yeah, the half and half island is fine - cut off by the sea zone. No game play meaning

[gamerman01]

Pacific zones, Russia and China territory shapes will take time to get used to

[gamerman01]

Still waiting in suspense for Philippines fighter and two Hawaii fighters.
Maybe you should send up 1 Hawaii fighter to diversify.

[oysteilo]

no scramble anywhere

[gamerman01]

@oysteilo Good call - now let’s see what the dice say about all this nonsense

[gamerman01]

A little unlucky for me so far.
Lost 2 infantry in Phi and only got 2 hits in Hawaii
Even the destroyer at Z35 hit, but was ABSORBED :D

I need to ask for casualties at Z26

I don’t like that you can’t clearly see the units that are in battle at the top of the window.
