Let me look at Germany and see what I can do.  the odds are against me for Sealion and Nov, so the transports might have been rendered useless.  63 bucks down the drain is a game changing failure.

Yeah… Well it’s not totally down the drain because you can terrorize Russia with them, but yeah.  Maybe you need to try Sealion and hope for great luck, and when that fails then you can resign  :-)

@Karl7:

Mr.Green and I played like 10 games on the boards in like a month.  He pulled a bunch of J1’s.   Basically you keep the carriers back 1 space from haw to move back to Japan or Car, but be sure to leave a dd in haw to block any US counter attack.

Thanks for the explanation
So you moved everything into 26 in this game, but you could have attacked 26 and left a destroyer and stayed back at Wake?  Wake is still 3 spaces from Japan…

I don’t know.  I think it’s tough to decide what to do with Japan for several turns.

[Karl7]

Yes, 3 from Japan but only 2 from car.  Getting back to a Naval base is very important I think.

[gamerman01]

Yes, I agree

[Karl7]

ok, let me crunch some number here

[Karl7]

around 30% either way…. ugh.

[boldfresh]

that is NOT a proper battle.  OUCH that roll sucks.  you have earned the honorary Boldfresh roll of the day Karl.

[Karl7]

That made me laugh :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, I suppose that is a sign I should surrender.  Does that count as  record or something?

Want to start a new one now?  We can use battlemap.   If so, let me know and I’ll post it up.

[Karl7]

Yes that is amazing!  If I had got like just a few hit that would have been infuriating, but that is just hilarious!

[gamerman01]

Wow.
It’s good that it came after you had pretty much decided to quit anyway, and not in a big important game at a big important moment…  :roll:
You rolled my 4’s as 3’s and they still both hit!

Yeah, I’m ready for game 2 of the 2013 league!

I’ll bid +6 to take the Axis

[Karl7]

I bid 0 for the Axis

[gamerman01]

Not sure I’ve ever seen your stuff as the Allies….
Well, I’m sure you’ll show me how it’s done with J1 this time… that is, if you think a J1 attack is effective - for all I know you’ve decided it’s not.

I do have one new little trick up my sleeve…

So it’s straight up, then!  I’ll check to see if you need scramble decisions in the next hour or two.

I seem to have misplaced my starting map for this new and improved map we’ve been using (with proper turn order in the toolbar and infoview!)
I do have one after G1 for this game, so I could reset the G1 and have it, but if you have a copy of the starting map then I won’t have to do that.  Do you have the map at game start with the version of battlemap that has the correct turn order?

Oh, and I believe we were playing Alpha3 last game and this one will be 2nd edition, so effectively your bid of 0 is about the same as the +3 you had last game because I will have one less infantry in Egypt…  :-P

[Karl7]

I’ve got the map.  I will post the thread forthwith with scramble.

[gamerman01]

Please upload the starting map for me - thanks

I hope I will post regularly this game.  It’s more fun when a game has good flow
Thanks again for your very long patience with the last one…
