XDAP-02 Team Imhotep - Unterhund 505/47

Been sick and for some reason I haven’t been getting the email alerts for the game. :-(

@U-505:

Odd. My partner hasn’t posted in days.  A bit shitfaced at the moment, but I’ll take a good long look at the map and if he hasn’t posted by tonight I’ll make a move for him.

I hope you don’t mind but I’d like to consider changing some of the NCM USA moves in the Pacific. Since USA is preceded by only Italy, NCMs in the Pacific are completely independent of Italy.

I also want to do an attack. Sorry guys unfortunately U-505 didn’t know what I wanted to do with the USA and hide behind Australia was not it.

This is going to require quite a bit of work to roll back so I’m going to wait for approval from the Axis powers before proceeding.

I’m going for it.

Sumatra
3 bombers, 3 fighters, 1 tac bomber
Rolls: 4@4 3@3; Total Hits: 64@4: (3, 4, 6, 1)3@3: (1, 2, 1)

2 infantry
Rolls: 2@2; Total Hits: 02@2: (6, 3)

Sumatra is pummeled with no losses.

I have to re-roll the fighters and tac bomber because they can’t make it (I miscounted). If I get zero or one hit, I will retreat.

3 bombers, 2 fighters
Rolls: 3@4 2@3; Total Hits: 53@4: (1, 2, 3)2@3: (2, 2)

Same result.

What a quandary. I am interested in seeing this game play out. However matches have a two month duration so if this gets extended it rushes the next game.

Japan’s current condition could be temporary. Germany has a rush but it is 3 turns at least before hitting Moscow and might not have enough. Egypt is suspect in terms of how long that will be Italian same goes for Iraq.

If Italy does make a push for Iraq, this is the round it would go.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.

Also borneo belongs to UK pacific and not USA.

Don’t see this game ending in the next two weeks or having a clear winner anytime real soon.

Probably just roll 50/50 for the winner. USA player vs Japan player in a 1v1 on the lobby (they are the big picture guys).

Or I can play both teams till this gets resolved.

As in me and veqryn play against both teams knowing one of you is going to win, then we just drop one of the games after we know who won.

I prefer to have USA UK and china played by one player, anzac+france and russia by another. For 3 man squads have one do anzac/france. It speeds things up. True usa/uk/china gets all the action, but next time allies is played by your team you just take what you did not get.

I don’t mind if you guys play this game out for the next two months, but both teams have to be willing to play me and/or veqryn on the lobby so our game can end on time.

Also two months PBF is kind of short, considering on average 1 player will act per day, that is 10 rounds only. I kind of expected this tournament to go on forever. LOL

Aside from Cow’s comments.

My opponent had specific uses for those USA bombers. I would like to keep their original placement. Yunnan and India. But it’s up to you guys.

Uh, thoughts on moving the USA bombers back to U-505’s original movement? No word means it’s okay?

Yeah bombers in range of air is why this game is close + the fact that japan could rush anzac and that would be hilarious too.
