OOB Oysteilo +40 v Gamerman01 with tech - UHD map

[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.

[oysteilo]

sorry for the delay, its comimg up in a min or two

[gamerman01]

Hearts are gone :(
Now just a chevron

[gamerman01]

There are no count numbers by the units in the battle box either… Guess I should start making a list

[oysteilo]

kill sub and destroyer

[gamerman01]

Why are you so lucky against me?
Your sub hits, and you get another besides.

[gamerman01]

Whew, order restored with 2nd round

[gamerman01]

GAA
I’m lucky in Hunnan, but you get an extra shot from Hong Kong, and of course, IT HITS lol
