L23 Harry X - Gamerman L+18 BM Playoff


  • @elche said in L23 Harry X - Gamerman L+18 BM Playoff:

    I tried the move with italian tank and most times with bomber or fig the last 5-6 games and never works. A very good player explains me thats more important to take France with all units and its better to play non-Vichy game.

    I agree totally with that. Or are you referring to me? :face_with_cowboy_hat:

    After you tell me that, I try this italian move. If I look on the map now I like what I see with the french :blush:

    No doubt. What I’m asking is if you knew how big that fight was, and if so, why didn’t you support it with air? Because it was only 14% with a lone tank. Very lucky, friend. Hard for me to take :face_with_head_bandage:

    Did you scramble sz109 ?

    That’s not exactly what I thought you’d take to 109, but I’m not saying your move is bad, at all.

    Yes, scramble 3 fighters

    Man is it going to be hard to recover from that Vichy. I’m lucky about 97, or it would be even worse, obviously.
    Don’t let up at all, you know I will be playing hard as always! :grimacing: I hope the dice aren’t too extreme either way in 109 - has the potential to tip the game one way or the other again!


  • The attack to N/B only with tank because I needed all planes for sz97, what was a desaster and last games it never works and I loose fig or bomber. Depends on a attack to sz97 or not.
    But sz109 is now a better move :blush: I hoped for 2 hits and I got 2 hits. At least 1 round without RAF in Europe.
    But I did not expect you will scramble.
    But you save your transport in sz110.

  • 109 is a big disappointment given your 5 hits in the first round.
    Greece helps take the sting out a little bit! Just a little!

    Need to keep clawing up the cliff. 6 UK aircraft lost on I1 and G2 - very bad



  • Yes sz109 was bad for you but sz97 good for you.
    I have your present. Please give me your postal adress.

  • Hey elche,
    You can’t blitz FIC because it’s a pro-Axis neutral (you took it back, so just for your future information). But if you want to claim it with a ground unit, go ahead and do that - it shouldn’t disrupt your NO. If you don’t say anything, I’ll proceed when ready


  • Never mind, I found in the notes that taking FIC does stop the +10 NO. Lucky for me.


  • China done, UK when I have time again

    China2.tsvg


  • UK2.tsvg

    Not an easy one. Done!


  • Thanks for info. I wanted to try out the bonus, You are right. I try to blitz because no unit in FIC but bonus is gone. But I didnt know isnt allowed to blitz :anguished:


  • But I dont do.

  • For the same reason, you can’t blitz Algeria because it’s a pro-Axis neutral, so you’ll have to correct that.

    I’ll go ahead and play Australia and France because your correction won’t have any bearing on my move except for the 2 infantry in Egypt. Depending on your edit, I may move them differently.


  • No, after studying it I see I need to wait for your correction. Thanks, and then I can play ANZAC :+1:


  • Sorry for my really bad knowledge of the rules. I have correct it and Italy has only 20 ipcs.

  • Hey it’s no problem since you don’t argue about it and you even correct it yourself!

    Will finish these turns now then, thanks a lot


  • F2.tsvg

    OK, take us to round 3!


  • Scramble sz109 or intercept in UK ?

  • Nice move with the fleet - away from the board I was thinking the Russian sub was there, but wasn’t sure. Ouch.
