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


  • @pejon_88 said in L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2:

    Wasn’t sure about the two US subs going to SZ6, must be some kind of trap ;)

    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

  • 2023 '22

    @gamerman01 Haha, well put!

  • 2023 '22

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

  • 2023 '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:

  • 2023 '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

  • 2023 '22

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

    Based on your misses in Belarus, I thought it best to retreat.

  • 2023 '22

    @gamerman01 Hope everything is good?


  • Doing awesome, other than my critical Russian misses!

    Work has been very rewarding and busy. After sitting up at a desk doing computer work all day, I don’t want to sit at a desk at my computer in the evening, many times. I did give elche an Italian move - wicked can opener on London setting up a high stakes and risky invasion. And he literally just posted something.

    You’re high priority for today or this weekend! Hope you’re good too


  • Um, what I meant was you’re next, not elche. I think I just made that one move vs. him since ours.

  • 2023 '22

    @gamerman01 Sounds great! Glad to hear. I’ll be away until Sunday and will not post any move myself before then. Take care :)


  • Thanks, that’s good to know, I’m working on it right now.
    I hope you do well also!


  • That is a terrible time and place to suffer a 1% result. That combined with another loss (of infantry) in Leningrad and the G4 is crippling! And then there’s the healed battleship in 97. Uphill climb! :hushed:
