    I know I will respond to the Yunnan gambit better this game than my first time a year ago, in no small part because that game we were just having fun trying out a radically different looking map. That game is still on-going.

    Yes, I’ve taken a look at that game. That one is just pure chaos for 20 turns straight lol

    Ah so it’s called the Yunnan gambit? I really like that move, it’s just free income from the burma road without really having to do anything for it. It also serves as a speed bump for Japanese expansion. A least hopefully. I’m interested to see what you are going to do.


  • Oh, it’s my turn! No wonder I was waiting
    I call it the Yunnan gambit

    It is more than a little extra income and a speed bump.
    With the regular map, I am sure I’ll have a better answer than before, starting with not attacking Z26


  • @VictoryFirst said in L25 G40 OOB Gamerman01 (x) v VictoryFirst (+50):

    To me it looks like you did a good G1 naval attack, although I always find it weird when Germany buys naval units. Naval units don’t help you capture Moscow! But I am curious to see how it plays out.

    I must have slipped with the notifications, I’m seeing this for the first time.
    Defending Z112 frees up a lot of German resources


  • @VictoryFirst said in L25 G40 OOB Gamerman01 (x) v VictoryFirst (+50):

    But also who am I to judge, I always lose against myself as the Axis, so that’s why I’m playing you 😛 Please destroy me with your navy buy!

    Now that I realize it’s my turn for J1, we are well on our way. I do plan to shock and awe, hopefully I don’t disappoint

    3 fighters + tac = 41
    3 infantry = 9
    41 + 9 = 50

    Man, you are right. I failed a basic math calculation. I was confused because in another game I was playing with an artillery in Egypt, but in that game I was also playing with 4 russian fighters instead of 3 fighters and a tactical…


  • Somehow I miss another notification. Came to check, I see you’re waiting on me

    @gamerman01 Strange, do you watch this topic and do you have notifications for posts in watched topics enabled?


  • Yes, I normally get notifications for all topics I’m in, but it’s not rare that I miss posts. I do not click on live items and then not follow up, so usually I catch them when I realize I haven’t seen a post from an opponent for awhile.

    So what’s your decision? Scramble the aircraft in the Taranto Raid battle?


  • This is always a tough call and game winning sometimes.

    It is curious that you left a fighter on Malta, so you are inviting a scramble.

    Let me know if you don’t want me sharing some thoughts as we go along.

    All things considered, I do not want to scramble here, thanks!


  • @VictoryFirst I was working on it!!! 98% done computing when I posted the previous


  • I wish I’d have seen the post 2 days ago, I’m eager to play


  • You’ve played little to no G40 against others? So you probably would appreciate a little commentary?
