13L G40.2 Gamerman01 (Allies +9) vs. Jeff28 (Axis)

[gamerman01]

Map

[gamerman01]

Look at the situation in Siberia, Bold.

If I hadn’t attacked Korea on R1 and if he attacked Amur on J1, I wouldn’t be able to stop him in Siberia right now like I am.
He could just go right around me.

Now maybe I should have retreated full bore toward Moscow and not stopped, but even then it’s good to have the bottleneck up there.  He could go north from China or south to China at will, and flank me easily.  Not to mention that air could freely pass over Mongolia.

No, I’m still sure the attack on Korea R1 is definitely the move to make.  At least for me :)

[gamerman01]

No reason to submerge unless I score a hit and get missed, so I guess I’m waiting for no reason.

[Jeff28]

scramble and no submerge

Man, you changed your mind so many times I am completely lost on what is going where.  I don’t know how many movement points a lot of the aircraft have or whether some of the boats have been moved or not.  Wish they would have thought of that when making the program.

Well, I won’t ask you to start over and re-do your combat moves, making them all directly, but I think it should be the other player’s right in a case like this.  If we were playing face to face I should know where everything’s moving.

But don’t worry about it

I do want to SCRAMBLE ONE PLANE now though.

Sorry I answered too hastily the first time - hope that didn’t mess you up

Never mind - it looks like you were too fast and didn’t see my request to wait.
No problem - that’s my problem.

[gamerman01]

Ah, so you did move a second carrier to 35 - glad I didn’t scramble then
Once again I got a scathing defense…

[Jeff28]

The game wouldn’t let me make an illegal move as far as I know.

It was a hard turn, had to think a lot. I can redownload if necessary in the future if you cant stand the undos.

–Jeff

[Jeff28]

If you look at the text post in the thread wouldn’t that take out all the undos?

I don’t think I edited anything.

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

Once again I got a scathing defense…

Never mind - everything else whiffed except for one chinaman  :-P

[Jeff28]

I could use some men for my trannies, running out of time.

No, no, don’t worry unless I ask you in the future.  All I had to do was decide whether to scramble 2 fighters and was trying to figure out if I could counter-attack 35.  I was just thinking out loud - still getting used to TripleA.  I know you didn’t do this on purpose, but I see where a player could move units and undo in such a way as to really confuse their opponent on purpose.

Problem with the text post is you can’t see it on the map, and it still lists every individual move…. It is not easy to follow…

More of a complaint about the program than a complaint about you.  You can change your mind however much you want - we all do - but if it gets any messier than that, I might request that you reload and do all the combat moves once, efficiently, so that I can tell what’s going on…

Clear?

[gamerman01]

@Jeff28:

That’s why I threw the 2 planes on the Phillipines - to hopefully take out 1 or 2 more ground units.

I think the secret to Allied success is to accept many sub-optimal battles.  You need to have everybody getting involved and whittling away at Germany and Japan at every opportunity.  Often this means < 50/50 battles, and this goes against most A&A player’s creed.  Perhaps this is why everyone thinks the axis is stronger - because they’re not playing the Allies as effectively as they could be.  Pretty sure I’m right, but I gotta get a lot more games under my belt.

[gamerman01]

Will probably be playing US/China/UK later this evening.

Meanwhile, I’ll let you worry about what tech I’ll get for 5 IPC’s.  Or 2 techs….  :-D
