[Gargantua]

OOL Says alot about Axis and Allies’ers.  This should be a good answer.

[Trajan01]

Uh oh, we have spectators!
Lose the CA, keep the DD. Apologies for delay, was traveling yest but am back now.

[jim010]

Ugh, I didn’t check the post summary.

Here’s the map.  I’ll see if I can figure out how to do that.

I don’t know how to retrieve it and get it to post, but you can see the history of the NCMs under the game tab at the top.

Interesting…

@Gargantua:

You mean why not declare war on Russia right off the bat?  I never saw a point to that when it would mean exposing expensive units for no real gain.  My moves have been made with the end in mind, of course.

[Gargantua]

Sorry, I should have used quotes.

I was implying the choice to cap the Destroyer instead of the Cruiser. :P

[jim010]

Stirling is back.  He’ll take Japan.

Using updated Global map v2.9.

I see, not a gambler?

I don’t think that keeping the CA is a gambling there. Germany will lose BB (in UK1), if Jim runs 2nd round.

Hit and run, that’s all I intended to do.  Would have been nice to have gotten that 3rd hit, though.

[Me1945]

Allies would be happy with your 4 hits - Germany risk to lose BB.

[jim010]

Yes.  There is definitely such a thing as getting too lucky in that battle.

Still, 4 hits is very unlikely.

Welcome back, Stirling. J1 is up, good luck to you as well!

[Stirling]

Hey guys I am out of town until Sunday but I’ll go by Monday have a great weekend.

[Stirling]

My partner is away and I am having trouble with AAA.  I open triple a  load game and then play never highlights any ideas?
