The program failed to upgrade major complexes immediately.  Doesn’t matter in our game because you have no Strat bombers in range, but that is an error.  Japan would not be able to bomb for more than 6 damage on J4 like they should be able.

@Jeff28:

maybe the game does it turn 4?

I’m sure it does, but technically it should be end of US3

@Jeff28:

Have you ever strat bombed the USA on J4?

Cause I haven’t but I’m always interested in a new strategy.

No - just pointing out that it could possibly matter.

USA got super subs
Thought I’d let you know because it doesn’t seem obvious and I don’t know how carefully you review all the events of my turns.  Didn’t want it to catch you by surprise, because it certainly wouldn’t if we were playing face to face

French succeeds on action: Political Action French To War With Japanese

French are diplomatic geniuses.  They succeeded.  8-)

And then they went on to successfully sink a Japanese transport!  Such studs!  :mrgreen:

Course they FAILED to block the Japanese with a destroyer on J3  :lol:

no, gamer is TRADITIONALLY more fortunate than average on tech rolls.  he is “charmed” as you might say, which is why i would NEVER play him in a tech game.

good luck Jeff!!  :-o

@Boldfresh:

He’s right.

But I have spent more than you probably think.  I have spent 35 IPC’s on 7 dice and got 2 hits.  That’s above average, but not a whole lot.

Upper 33%ile where 50% is the median.

Bold has experienced much higher success rates from me than that in the past, and at the worst possible moments.  Consider yourself lucky so far.  :-)

I mean, heck, I got super subs when the USA could not attack anybody!  Watch out when I get LRA when you’re not expecting it!!

Put another way, with any LESS success, I would be UNLUCKY.  1 hit in 7 tries is of course not lucky.  So I have to be either above or below average right now.  Sorry, but I’m above.

You should be more worried about all the other devastating dice results you’ve endured!  :evil:

granted, tech certainly has a much diminished effect in G40 compared to AA50, but still, there is already so much more strategy in G40 that i have not yet had the slightest desire to add tech to the mix.

@Jeff28:

Help me out. You spend 5 bucks on 1 tech token that doesnt stay and rolled the key USA and British techs.

USA Shipyards and LRA are right up there too.  I wouldn’t call them THE key techs  :-)

What about British rockets or paratroopers?  Now THOSE would KILL
I still haven’t recouped the 15 I’ve spend with the UK on shipyards yet.  Quit yer whinin’ and play!!  :wink:
