  • bloody hell
    i’m relatively new to this game
    didn’t see any of that coming

    don’t really understand why the axis are thought to have the advantage when the US can do that
    i guess that means i won’t be taking australia any time soon

  • '12

    oh yeah, the allies are very powerful when run properly, but they are much more difficult to run.  i’m no expert by any means.


  • right, get a grip, manstein
    need to focus

    just working on ger3
    i’m perplexed by your leaving a lone transport in sz1 next to my sub
    assume that’s an automatic kill, or am i missing something in the rules?

  • '12

    oops that was just a blind spot by me.  originally i was going to kill your z2 sub with my destroyer but then you left z14 for me and i forgot to adjust as i did the move quickly to get on the road.  i would prefer not to load the US inf and AA to z1 trn since you are correct, it would be an autokill…

    of course i’d much rather you autokilled the tranny than took a shot at z2 and sunk everything there…

  • '12

    just leave it as is, that’s just plain my mistake.  i shouldn’t have taken the shot at your battleship anyway, so this is just more pain for the risk i took…  :|

  • '12

    had i taken out your battleship and loaded transport it certainly would have been worth it, even with my transport loaded  :|  alas, i made a mistream adjustment in the combat move and didn’t carry it through to the noncom move…  :|


  • well mistakes will work your way in the end

    messing up kwangtung for 2 straight rounds has cost me
    and instead of pushing a nice big stack towards persia now, i overreached with japan and haven’t got a land unit in the whole of south asia

    wow.  going after your battleship in z14 created a huge swing.  i lose the tranny, inf, AA AND you get to keep norway another turn, another 6 ipc swing.  AND you will either get to keep the sub or have me risk an attack with a lone destroyer…

    pretty sweet!

  • '12

    hey manstein, i’m gonna go back to my original map, with the fighter landing in ukraine.

    sorry, but it doesn’t really affect japan i guess…  :|
