L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

    @gamerman01 Understand.

    Btw can’t see the combat hit differentials on UK3, but Axis hit your BB, killed one inf and then I think above average in SZ97 too!

    I went with a bit risky BB on DD in 39, and it became interesting so I was just glad to win.
    97 was bad.
    I had great luck in Yunnan, which could be tricky or even really bad for you, so we’ll see.

    @gamerman01 I think Burma is the right move here. You have to threaten Japan a lot now! Will also see what to make of the US going to Iwo Jima. At first glance and a quick calculation just after US3 the best approach would be to stack and build in SZ6 since no NB on IJ yet. Wasn’t sure about the two US subs going to SZ6, must be some kind of trap ;)

    Now it’s a good thing I spent the destroyer and stayed in Burma since I got lucky with all 3 infantry remaining.

    But anyway, the Italians are a big problem. I’ve had them blow up on me in a previous game a long time ago, but consolation is they only have a battleship and no transports right now.

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Yes agreed! Heavy downside of course being UK EU not having any navy at the moment and US having to re-consider their priorities + a German navy.

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Sorry, except the newly built DD and sub.


  • @pejon_88 Right, I meant at the end of UK3

    Don’t even remember why I went with 2 subs, I guess I really wanted to make you send a destroyer. Almost wondered why I didn’t attack with them, but now I know it’s because only after surviving with a DD do I know they won’t be needed at Iwo

    I’ll have to check on the camp in Zone 6 possibility I had


  • Oh, I don’t even need to check. Probably didn’t want to be sitting in Z6 with no naval base

    I don’t even remember, I guess I wanted to strongly encourage you to send a destroyer up

    Aaaannnnddd, I’m also fortunate the kamikaze missed. That was pretty big, actually


  • Sorry, I said it twice.

    I think it just didn’t occur to me that you could kill everything with a destroyer and a bunch of air that has nowhere else to go anyway. Guess I can move the Russian stack just a little bit more aggressively knowing you will use some air on 6

    Can’t see a mIC in Egypt being the wrong choice here.


  • FR3.tsvg

    It’s not a good game of A&A if you don’t have your hands around his throat at the same time he has his hands around yours.


  • I did post the French 3 move - it could easily be overlooked

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Haha, well put!

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 I saw it, but couldn’t find time to play :)

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 maybe ridiculous to ask, but casualties in Belarus? Two hits, you have 2inf + AAA. I attack with 3 inf + art.


  • Not silly at all - I would like to see your map first, though, so I can know if I want those guys to get sucked into the big Red vacuum or not :dancers:

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Haha yeah, should’ve posted it. Here goes:

    G4 combat.tsvg


  • Wow, I do not remember the WUK and Ukraine placement of R3. Looks like it was smart, but I have to figure out again what I’m doing here. Should have left myself a note. Must have thought it would be self-explanatory!

    Seems like I should have had AA in Ukraine… eh, I probably had it all figured out 2 weeks ago.

    That’s a tough one, not knowing your non-com, but I decide to lose AAA, infantry, thanks

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Yeah makes sense you meant to have an AA in Ukraine and W Ukraine.
