G4018L Farmboy Allies vs Karl7 Axis +4

As I was writing that message I noticed that my laptop wasn’t charging. Writing from my phone, but just a heads up that this might delay my turn. Hopefully it’s not a major problem.

I expect you will play in a way to block me from getting Berlin (which I think will also prevent you from getting Moscow) since your quickest path to victory is in the Pacific and losing Berlin (among other things) messes with that. But I’m enjoying the fact that we are in a position where if you went aggressively for Moscow you would likely get it a turn after I got Berlin. Neither of us would likely be in a position to take back the capital quickly and we would be down to Japan and Italy vs ANZAC and US.

I forgot to mention that I assumed no scramble in 112 since I had the advantage. But easy to redo.

will need scramble orders for 97

will do this now. Just a note that I am going to change my build. Replace one fighter with a transport and save the 3 ipcs. I doubt it will effect your choice to scramble. If you think it does, I can stick with the build I posted. And one sub will have passed by Malta in case I need the option of a retreat. Not sure how I moved it so will edit after if I end up doing that.

also just realized I sent the transports in with the fleet. That was accidental. I hope you mind if I edit them after. I had plans to move them as an NCM.

TUV swing was 246. I was supposed to win that handily , but I was still very lucky there. When you scrambled I thought there was a good chance I would lose all the carriers.

Note the edits I made. You will see that I commented on them above the post. It was just easier to do that then to redo all the moves. I may not get to the British move today I’m afraid. Not to free at the moment and I feel I have to think this through more.  I also have to edit the US fighters I just put in Western US. 5 of them are definitely going on the carriers and I might have a couple of more US NCM moves. But really wanted to see what happened in 97 so thought I would at least get that done.

Also, I left your Battleship alive after the first round and took off a fighter. Or rather triple a did that automatically. I wasn’t thinking of the complications of me having one sub left. Had you dropped the Battleship instead and kept the fighter, my sub wouldn’t have had a hit and you would have one more role. If you think you would have caught that and destroyed the battleship instead, feel free to roll a die for the fighter here.
