Axisplaya (Axis) vs Wheatbear(Allies) G40-A3

[wheatbeer]

9/10 defending hits in SZ110 and 5/5 defending hits in YUGO are really hard to stomach.

I don’t want to concede another game on round 1, but I am having trouble seeing how Germany will accomplish anything with such heavy losses.

[Axisplaya]

sz 111 has been very good for Germany, while sz110 has been a total nightmare…7 planes lost for Germany, that is going to be VERY hard to get back from that, and since i had a sub added to sz98, i’m still going to do Taranto and sz96…The Yugo thing is nothing to be shocked about…getting 2-3 hits there is common, so getting 5 hits is really not the end of the world.

I got no problem with you resigning this game if you wish so.

I’ll take Axis in the next one though.

Where do you want to place your 9 IPC bid for allies ?

[wheatbeer]

I don’t think London, Moscow, or Cairo would ever be threatened as the board sits, so I will resign.

I need to think if there’s anything I can buy that will help more than 1 sub and change.

[wheatbeer]

Will you allow upgrades to units or simply new units / bank IPC?

[Axisplaya]

what do you mean with “upgrades to units” ?

[Axisplaya]

if you mean for example changing some ss into dd (for 2 PC each), the answer is clearly no because you could find yourself with a lot of tac or fgts changed into bombers…

[wheatbeer]

I was thinking more along the lines of infantry to artillery, but I see what you mean.

[wheatbeer]

I will place 2 artillery in ALX and save 1 IPC for UK Europe.

[Axisplaya]

Hmm…very interesting…you got a cheap Tobrouk UK1.

Will post G1 very late tonight (it’s live game time for now).

Now i’m scared that you will scramble if i do my usual G1… :lol:

[wheatbeer]

I am probably too chicken, but no guarantees  :lol:
