G40 2nd Ed. 2xAxe v tinydictator (+9 Allies)

[Pakitho]

That’s what I said, not in Alpha +3, but in second edition Korea prevents Mongolia from being attacked.

The bomber thing makes a difference… Oh well.

[tinydictator]

Well, in practice not, since Russia would simply declare war on Japan no matter what. Unless we change the neutrality rule even more so that it would invalidate the Mongolia treaty. Maybe something we should consider for the next game.

On the SBR: Still haven’t found it, but I’m reading the discussion where they debate the suggestion that 1 point of SBR damage should make any infrastructure inoperative. I think for factories that’s too harsh, but for air- and naval bases it makes kind of sense. Otherwise there is never an incentive to repair them fully, which is kind of strange. And since they can take only 6 damage max, it really makes very little sense to bomb them in the first place. What’s your take on this?

[Pakitho]

I think you were saying something about a low German income ;-)

I read the 3 damage or more - inoperable on the Axis & Allies Europe 2nd Ed. rules on WotC site.

[tinydictator]

Too little, too late, my friend. And its not gonna last long.

[Pakitho]

Lets see how you do if my German inf starts killing like China did…

[tinydictator]

Well, the battle in Karelia clearly occurs in waist-high snow - 3 rounds and nobody hit anything…

One battle for Stalingrad, coming up.

[tinydictator]

Obviously, I forgot again to edit the airbase in Calcutta.

[tinydictator]

If you should attack my UK fleet (supposing that it is max with 3 bmb, 1 ftr,  1 tac) I do scramble.

[tinydictator]

…and, in case you are wondering, OOL would be: BB(1), DD, Crs, BB(2), Tac, Ftr, Ftr

If you should SBR India, I scramble only if all you send is 1 Bmb.

If you attack Hawaii in force (i.e. with fleet and transports), I don’t scramble. If you send only a DD and airforce (to a max attack value if 19), I scramble.

If you should be so nuts as to attack Queensland, I don’t scramble.

So, that should be all possible scrambling calls… Looking forward to see your turn when I come home this evening!

[tinydictator]

Arg, and since my brain works best under the shower, I just realized another thing - if its not too late to change that, my UK DD would not go from sz41 to sz39, but to sz43 instead.

The scrambling order and OOL for the Indian fleet would remain unaffected.

[Pakitho]

I guess that’s game for me: Japan bombers and Italian tank and bomber hit Samara, then German panzer and air hit Moscow for the win.  :evil:

If you concede we can continue the game, but you’ll have to re-do the whole Russian turn - although you only lost one below average it was still lucky on your part, and now that my tactic has been uncovered I’ll only continue on fresh rolls, maybe I’ll be the lucky one ;-) You can change anything you want of course.

[Pakitho]

Actually I’m being a bit rash, you can always sacrifice some Uk airforce to plug the Samara hole. I better roll on then.

Well, again - you had a lot of risky battles, and the rest of them went quite ok for you. And you could have retreated.

I’m assuming that you intercept in Germany (1 ftr vs 1 bmb).
