OOB Oysteilo +40 v Gamerman01 with tech - UHD map

[oysteilo]

no worries about the AA

If you attack 110 with everything you have and dont attack 109, then yes, I will scramble.

If you attack 109 and 110 then I want scramble option

[oysteilo]

I am playing around to see if I can stop Japan somehow and i have found a new error in the map. There are 4 sea zones from Hawaii to Chile, not 3 as indicated in the UHD map

[gamerman01]

That’s a great catch
I thought I was activating South American neutrals this turn. Maybe it’s just as well

I’m glad you came around and gave me the scramble decision because we live on different continents and now it won’t interrupt the move. Yes, I absolutely have to attack 110 with everything there is no doubt, and you have to scramble, thanks!!

[gamerman01]

Oh well, it looks like I can still give you a really bad time but 1 delayed turn
I’ll notify the designer
I guess we are stress-testing their map

[gamerman01]

London returning completely changes the plans of the forces off Malaya. Probably forced me into a better decision

[gamerman01]

They actually caught it a month ago. I didn’t notice they fixed a border off Western South America, it looked like they were just testing how many could fit in the zones or something, anyway,

They did fix it 2 months ago but I think we have to edit because we can’t change maps in mid-game I’m pretty sure

Rolled in TripleA because I only have 2 subs and you have several ships, so picking a casualty or 2 before the rest of the dice is not a problem.

8 hits is 1/2 hit under average,
I can’t assume casualties, what do you lose?

Thanks!

[oysteilo]

8 hits= 3 carriers and 2 destroyers down

Thank you for the quick casualty choice,
Now I can only dread the terrifying Red Army’s substantial increases and the war bonds roll at the end

[gamerman01]

Also thanks for the advance scramble decision, that sped up the game and saved me an interruption. I probably shouldn’t have asked for it, I hadn’t studied the UK position yet like you of course did in making the move

I just knew if I attacked 110 with everything you would absolutely scramble and hoped to speed up the game, but it was more complicated than that as you said.

But you handled me tactfully once again, and I appreciate how well you treat me

[oysteilo]

Another good result for you there, but not great this time, a couple of planes extra survived i think.

[gamerman01]

@oysteilo Well said - With such a risky attack, even slightly below average is a good result for me, there was about a 15% chance of failure to win, so I would need to save a sub after round 1 and go to the death to sink the transports for sure.

So average results in that situation are fantastic for me, and the above average I got? Huge relief.

But I totally agree, as lucky as that was I was even luckier other times

[gamerman01]

Yeah if I lose 110 I think it was game over. Like I said, I was almost guaranteed to sink the 5 transports, but game over losing all my air.

It’s very interesting to me how we seem to have looked at our chances in this game differently over the course, but I think this was yet another battle where if it went poorly I can’t win. Now we are still at hotly contested status

[oysteilo]

i might not move before tomorrow. It is difficult to fully understand everything in 2 or 3 rounds from now, but surely it does not look desirable to give up turkey, so I dont think I can let that happen, But the price might be too high, i dont know

[gamerman01]

We offer each other so many wonderful puzzles to solve

Axis and Allies is an incredible game

you know, it is not an option to surrender turkey to germany without a fight, what that means to the pacific map I dont fully understand. Nevertheless, having germans going north/south/east from Turkey creates a completely different ballgame that I am not entering into. If that means I run out of time in the pacific map it is what it is, but surely it is not a walk in the park there for you anayways…

I think I edited the income correctly. BM-2 and war bonds +1 eaquals -1 in total
