L24 PTV - Nikola1975 (axis +8) v Mikawagunichi

[mikawagunichi]

@nikola1975 My transition from a bad player to an average player required me to stop doing certain things that I like because they are fun and start doing certain things I dislike because they are good. I was pretty surprised when I saw that move open up. Of course knowing you hate it only makes me want to do it even more ;)

[nikola1975]

@mikawagunichi Yes, I know :) The one I hate more than Americans spring-boards for Australian fighters is where you can open a naval block in theory only (for example one sub attacking 10 destroyers), sending one fighter to sink 10 transports on the other side, because you are like counting that this sub will sink them so you can pass through with the carrier to collect the fighter on the other side. I hope you understand what I wanted to say.

I hate that one.

[mikawagunichi]

@nikola1975 Yes I know what you are saying and I agree with you on that one. PTV at least made somewhat of an improvement on OOB rules there with not being able to land planes used in combat on newly built carriers unless they already had a legal landing spot.

I once had a game where I had UK planes on US carriers, AZ planes on UK carriers, and French planes on an AZ carrier. Now THAT is some bonus movement.
