13L AA50 - Gamerman01 (allies) vs Soundcrescent (axis +6)

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

At a glance, it appears you chose losses in Z53 incorrectly.  You shouldn’t have taken the carrier off first.

I mean you shouldn’t have taken the destroyer off first.  You should have selected the carrier first.

You need to lose 1 more unit.

AA50 1942 - a blast from the past!

[gamerman01]

Tech in AA50 is with tokens, but it doesn’t look like Japan has a token when I look at the technology table.  Does Japan have a token for J2 and will I have tokens if I invest in tech?  I checked the game options and don’t see a toggle for tokens like there is in G40…

@Boldfresh:

AA50 1942 - a blast from the past!

And first time with a Triple A map for me, so this will be an adventure

I can’t believe his battleship just auto-healed!  Holy cow!
And there’s hardly anything on the board!  Right up my alley…

[gamerman01]

Need answer to my question about tech tokens, and casualty choice in 53 before continuing - thanks

[gamerman01]

Oh, and you might get some people curious with the misnamed thread  :-)
The bid is allies +6, not axis +6  :-)

Hoops, is there something we can do about it?

t a glance, it appears you chose losses in Z53 incorrectly.  You shouldn’t have taken the carrier off first.  Then your sub got a surprise strike.

To resolve, we can just roll the destroyer in round 2 here, since you wiped me out in round 2 with 3 hits anyway

Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 1
1@2: (2)

I choose what seemed right for me to speed up the game, but I should have asked. You can take away the sub

There is a token in the chart for Japan. I will roll again next round.

[gamerman01]

A moderator can change the name of the thread.  Darth got married recently - one of us could ask Jenn

OK, removing the sub and - game on then  :-)

[gamerman01]

I sent a PM request to Jenn to edit the title

[gamerman01]

Changing buy from 5 INF, ART
to 3 INF, 2 ARM

Man, this is seriously disorienting, especially changing from ABattlemap to Triple A’s weird looking map  :-)

[gamerman01]

Combat move post, to establish that I changed the buy before rolling dice

[gamerman01]

Wow, that is probably the luckiest R1 I’ve ever had in the '42 scenario….  Luck makes up for disorientation, I would guess  :-D

Well, you definitely chose wrong there
When the defender has almost no chance of survival and there is an attacking sub present, you should ALWAYS take off the carrier before the destroyer  :-)

Wow - dramatic stuff  :-P

Nail jets for $5 but both sub battles fail and the destroyer even hits in 15
Big miss in 12 helps offset, though!

Yes, I counted on one victory in either sub battle.I got one tech, but it’s not like long range aircraft or heavy bomber… Very negative German turn for Axis. Now Allies have plenty of stuff and plenty of choice. Russia is treathening also.

[gamerman01]

True, true

You are a step closer to LRA, however

I used to house rule +1 movement on LRA…. +2 is… crazy!

So many rules are different in G40, it’s about making my head spin
AA, LRA, SBR, mechanized infantry tech, paratroopers, rockets…

This is a challenge, and a 1-time deal!  I can’t handle playing 2 different versions of A&A simultaneously, but I will enjoy this 1 game
