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

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.

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?

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

Jeff28

No no, you’re going to miss your next five rolls to get back to 1/6 of the time.

Most of the time I undo the whole board and start over, so you could go the bottom of the history and start overfrom where I got done undoing before.

I didn’t see your scramble, sorry let me know if you want it redone.

gamerman01

@Jeff28:

No no, you’re going to miss your next five rolls to get back to 1/6 of the time.

Or I could quit buying them and guarantee I stay ahead for the rest of the game, just to bug you :wink:

No way I can stop gambling for tech. :roll:

I didn’t see your scramble, sorry let me know if you want it redone.

Please forget all about it. It’s absolutely fine. Either way was fine, which was why I was waffling. I answered to not scramble, and you went with it. 4 minutes later I changed my mind, but it was too late, and that’s just too bad for me.

Thank you again for being so gracious and a good sport. A real pleasure to play with a guy who plays fast, is gracious and a good sport, and who isn’t killing you :-)

gamerman01

Ahhhhhh….

Now that I’ve finished my SUB sandwich, I can get back to business… :evil:

That may be true, but that basically says the dice play the game for you. Some folks aren’t going to enjoy playing a game if their only shot to win is getting lucky on a coin flip.
