Cmd Jen (Axis) vs Botider (Allies) Alpha+3 Gm 1

[Botider]

fascinating ploy… you always seem to come up with unique approaches that take advantage of geography, sea lanes, etc. really well played so far… it will be interesting to see if the german advance can keep up a head of steam, and just how much help you get from japan (my real worry!).

@Botider:

@Cmdr:

Oh and Calcutta lost 3 CRD, not 2.�  So they only have 3 IPC this round.

I’m missing something here… the map is subtracting $3 – isn’t that correct? They earned $5 / lost $3 from CRD / saved $2. 5-3+2 = 4, right?

They have India and British Columbia - 4 IPC

[Botider]

British Columbia?  :?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.

[Botider]

Not trying to be difficult about $1 … the whole CRD thing is fuzzy to me. But British Columbia is a LONDON territory, not CALCUTTA. And besides that, to do convoy damage to British Columbia, you’d need boats in sz1, wouldn’t you?

I’m either as a dump as a sack of hair (a distinct possibility), or you meant some other territory, or I just haven’t read the rules very closely.

And after all that,… it’s $1. It’s not like it’s going to save the Brit’s bacon – those guys in India are dead, whenver you decide to pull the trigger.

[Botider]

*dumb as a sack of hair… (and I can’t spell, either). ;)

[Jennifer]

Got a new computer, gunna be a bit before I can post.

[Botider]

not a problem… i’m in the market for one these days, too. take your time…
