Sorry, got interrupted earlier and didn’t get back to this.
Scramble ftr from CV? (This will take some getting used to…) -
@AndrewAAGamer Yea. Kinda got on tilt when the first 4 rounds only hit once-an inf…Ftr never hit once in 7 rounds! I guess no one trained my Flying Tiger how to shoot.

@surfer said in L20 PTV-first game! Surfer(L) vs. AndrewAAGamer(X):
Agreed. This is a very different game. I wonder if I was overly ambitious/hasty/<insert adjective> to put this game in the league without trying it first. I feel we should get to try some moves so we can see the dynamic before we try to say one play is better than another.
What is your preference?
I and @aequitas-et-veritas did the same. Don’t think it’s too bad, but a serious challenge. Believe we hold the premier league game. ;)
It’s a crazy game. Very different from the original map. Lots of new angles.

@surfer said in L20 PTV-first game! Surfer(L) vs. AndrewAAGamer(X):
Well, some things shouldn’t change. I can’t see an advantage in scrambling here when the best I can hope for is just a trade in air.
No scramble.
Sorry for dipping in, but this situation is over, so don’t think there’s any impact with a comment.
G obviously will try and strafe z114, so a scramble there would be rather safe. The only reason not to scramble from Scotland is hoping for good dice for G so that the Bismarck gets stuck and can be easily sunk.
Correct me if I’m wrong. Haven’t looked how it played out yet, but will in a few secs.

Scramble SZ 110 or SZ 111?
Correction: z113 and z114.

What do you expect from being abandoned in deep China? A bunch of drunkards behind the wheels…

@AndrewAAGamer Hold of on scramble. I just realized the CV scramble in the med sort of protects Algeria from an invasion and Gibraltar can hold through I1/G2. I’d like to redo this.

Same scramble choice. CVs were already fundamental parts of your fleet, but became even more important in this game.

@trulpen I guess G got “lucky”, maybe makes up for the C1 “attack”. As usual, what the dice gods give, they quickly take away.

Well that turn was about as hard to decide as any I’ve done before. I haven’t lost Yunnan ever before. My fault, I was playing too close to the edge–I was focused on this possible new dynamic of developing an interior China force that would be a threat for awhile. Of course, I should have just overwhelmed it and lost the inf next round, but losing it now is critical in a way I hadn’t appreciated.
Also, I really didn’t want to leave the UK so open, but with the added 10 IPCs for Russia. SeaLion was always non-optimal, but I would guess not even really an option considering how large the Russians could become.

Yeah - this is the first time I have ever built a carrier on G1. However I think taking Moscow is going to be next to impossible so I am hunkering down to protect my sea lanes instead.
