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

tinydictator

UK attached. I re-rolled the UK combat move once, as the first time the result was:

Iraq: 1 Inf, 1 ftr, 1 tac, 1 bmb vs 3 inf: 1 hit for me, 2 hits for Iraq after one round
Yunnan: 2 Inf, 1 Art, 1 Ftr vs 3 inf: 1 hit for me, 3 hits for Japan after 2 rounds

That was just more than I could take right now (in particular with you attacking Szwchuan and not loosing a single plane). The Iraq roll was the same on the second try (so I guess I’m still cooked) and I took one more Inf in Yunnan to bring my odds above 90% (which I guess also means I’m in deep trouble, spending my UK infantery like candy there).

Count it as a win for you if you want, but I want to see where this goes without two freak rolls in one turn.

The internet in the train didn’t really work…

Looking at the post again maybe I overreacted a bit by rerolling. I don’t know. Hope you are ok with it.

I agree that my US move was a mistake. I should either have moved the entire fleet there or I should have withheld the carrier. But anyway, by now the allies are pretty much ready to start operations in Europe, and once things in the american sector of the pacific are a bit more secure, all these bombers (or at least most of them) can fly over to Europe.

No worries, I think we should play with the possibility of re-rolling one freak round per game - I guess this was yours ;-)

I was lucky on Sechwan last round, but you also rolled snake ryes in Keichow… You hit with 2 out of 8 China, about average. Happy to see that Uk inf melt away :-)

I’m away from the laptop, I’ll post in a bit.

Do you spend any kamikaze attacks to defend your trn against the French DD in sz19?

(I told you not to underestimate the French! :-D)

tinydictator

to speed things up a bit, I’ll proceed on the assumption that your are not going to waste your kamikazes on this. If you do want to do it, just load the combat move file, do the kamikaze and edit the result for the fight in Algeria.

tinydictator

wooooot!!!

never, NEVER underestmate the French!!!

If you’re thinking of taking Korea, watch out that under 2nd edition rules that will prevent Mongolia from joining Russia…

tinydictator

I was indeed thinking about that. I thought that the defense treaty with Mongolia is only triggered/invalidated by moving into any territory adjacent to Mongolia?

Pakitho

Alpha 3 yes, 2nd edition any plus Korea.

You still refuse to accept the notion that you have to give up some territory with Russia… :-)

Japan combat move: intercept in India / scramble in New Zealand?

Correction: one of the two tacs in New Zealand does not attack the island and stays in the sea zone - see file below.
