L13 G40 Ziggurat (Axis) vs Fortress (Allies+9)

[Fortress]

I know you can capture it right back, but the loss of 1 turn of builds and the IPC loot makes it worth a try.

Failure will be very costly, but I don’t think it’ll be fatal. I guess we’ll find out. It kills me to possibly be throwing away my Europe gains, but dang this is a fun move. I haven’t played Axis in like a month and I need some offense; all this running away all the time has Robin’s minstrel singing in my ear…

In any case, kamikaze and scramble orders please.

I just looked at the computer screen for 10 minutes without hitting “post”. This is very unlike me to do. Sigh. Oh well, here goes…  :-o

Aaaand I just added another piece to the battle. No sense going down with chambered rounds… Kamikazes always hit against me so I added a little meat to the grinder.

[Ziggurat]

Hmmm, it never even occurred to me that you’d go for that… No scramble, I’ll chance it on the invade. Go AA guns! Kamikaze orders: 1 for each hit point. 1 on both cruisers and destroyers, 2 on the battleship please. Good luck. I love these fun battles :).

I’m sorry about your Japan invasion :(. I actually wanted you to succeed because I didn’t want to be left off the hook for missing the fact that 2 planes could reach from midway. That was a really dumb oversight. On the other hand, looks like we might actually have a good game now :P. If only I could do a damn thing against those dumb neutrals :(.

[Fortress]

It was only 40%, so I’m not gonna cry about it  :wink:

I figure if you’re 40% to take Tokyo US2, you have to do it. If you’re 40% to take London on G3, you can’t make that G2 buy; if you fail, the game’s over. And if odds are that tight, you probably lose your whole airforce and navy. And the US doesn’t have that land enemy sitting on their border with 50 pieces looking to invade.

This is the first sz7 for that. It pretty much took me so far away that I almost didn’t have a choice. I was trying to get you to delay DOW until J3, thinking that I put out enough of a deterrent. When you didn’t, I was stuck. It takes too many turns to get back from the middle of the north Pacific. I don’t think I’m going to use sz7 for that again. Using sz16 as the carrier group placeholder and moving most of the other WUSA fleet to Pearl seems like it would do the same thing as long as there were no blockers in range - and the carrier planes could still land US2 in sz7 on the US1 carriers from WUSA… And it’s only 1 move back to a naval base from sz16 in case the “deterrent” worked.

The good news, I guess, is that we’re not bothering to clutter up the board with a whole bunch of extra pieces. Between the reverse-Taranto (sounds like a wrasslin’ move), the all-air Szechwan strafe, and the failed Tokyo invasion, you can actually see the board…

Or you could. You know, if there was a “board”… Yeah. So there’s that…

I’m not sure if the SZ7 move should deter against a J2. Even if you had landed in Korea and backed that up with the Soviets, Japan still has enough air to crack that nut with the 10 inf in Man. It did make me waste 15 on an airbase in Hunan though, I’m still a little bitter about that :P.

[Ziggurat]

I misclicked at the end of the Yunnan battle, hence the edits. Your units have an uncanny knack for hitting when I find it least convenient :P.

[Fortress]

I noticed I got a disproportionate number of “yeah, I’m dead but I’m taking somebody with me” hits… China seems to be a magnet for those arrrgh moments because the low piece counts make the battles so unpredictable. You could have 2 identical 3I-vs-I battles and one could end up with a 3I capture and the other could end up with a hold. I had one battle in Szechwan where it must have been foggy or something. Something like 25 total units were involved and it took FIVE ROUNDS before anybody hit anything.
