Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods

@robson OH, this is going to be a fun opening! “artwork”? What are you creating? send a pic if you can. I’m intrigued. You may like this, my friends and I were able to play my 1986 game of Shogun the other week face to face. It was a blast! Had not opened the box for 20 years!

@robson Well, the Germans had great dice on the small battles and horrible dice on the big ones. No hits in Yugo first round! Lost most of the luftwaffe and UK has a BB left. Even lost a tank in France! Not sure if it is a major problem for Germany, but definitely going to be difficult moving forward…triplea_36714_1ger.tsvg

@robson no worries, my friend. Take your time.

@robson thanks! Thanksgiving was amazing. 33 for dinner! Big party…running a little slow today. 😵‍💫. Heading home tomorrow and will take a look.

@robson sorry for the delay. Been traveling a bit. triplea_36714_1jap.tsvg

@robson dang. I have heard the flu is not much fun this year. My wife and I go the shot in hopes that if we come down with it we might get through it easier. Who knows? Wife just had knee replacement so I have been a bit distracted last couple of weeks. As always, no worries on my end of things and thanks for the update.

@robson sorry for the delay. I too have been enjoying the break with family and friends. Feel this game is off to a crazy start so I’m going to scramble all three fighters and hope the dice gods are kind!

@robson just took a look at the game. Yeah, the Italian battle does make it a bit more interesting… although this one is already pretty darn interesting! Two things I noticed: 1. You deleted the Scotish troops but did not place them on London. I assume you want them there. I can edit them in. 2. The fighter plan that is added in Quebec MUST stay in quebec and cannot be on a newly built carrrier per the FAQ below. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35655/grasshopper-s-3g40-tournament-edition-rule-set

Q: If I purchase an aircraft carrier in sea zone 106 the same turn I get a free fighter in Quebec, can I immediately place that free fighter on the new carrier?

A: No, although in all other cases it is allowed, the free fighter in the American Lend Lease rule is special and must be placed in Quebec. This reflects the nature in which those aircraft came to be in Canada’s possession during the war.

I can make both of these Edits for you if you are OK with that.

@robson since I had time, I moved forward with the Italian move assuming the edits are what you wanted. We can change them if not. Italy lost the bomber… it’s a blood bath

@robson just took a quick look. Looks like the US has definitely decided to kill Germany/Italy first! Damn! I’ll dive into it soon. And this is a really unique start to a game. Like it.

@robson Sorry for the delay. Realized you gave me an opportunity to potentially take London. Have never actually won doing that… but hey, why not give it a try! This is definitely an interesting and unique opening for the game. Much fun.triplea_36714_2ger.tsvg
