L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!

    threatening Bryansk with new fighters built in W. Germany. >Something it seems I overlooked while doing my Russia moves. >Perhaps the US can get a lucky tech and save the day!

    I’ll have to remember that I have LRA
    12 years is a long time
    The nice little white stripes on the wings will help remind me.

    Range of 6 for fighters, wow.

    I will be commencing my attack on the Malaya fleet shortly. I will roll on the forum similar to the Italian attack on 98, as there is an ANZAC cruiser + fighter in range for follow-up. And you might get lucky 😬

    Admiral ‘Bull’ Halsey is put in command. Every man to his station. “Hit hard, hit fast, hit often”

    The sub misses. My other units get 5 hits, the big guns of the battleship and the carrier aircraft striking true.

    Any preference on casualty selection here? I do have one sub.

  • Oops, I’m coming.
    Busy plotting Moscow’s demise during my G2 purchase vs. badger


  • I missed the sneaky ANZ cruiser that is the same color as USA

    And Shan State, I see.
    Not good

    The sub missed… ok… so average roll at least
    Maybe we’ll get TUVs down to a 1,000 before we’re done

    I missed 2 US planes because of Shan State,
    So damage battleship, sink both carriers

  • 2024 2023

    Disaster for the IJN. Only 3 hits back round one. I take a sub, a fighter and a hit on the battleship.

    Round 2 begins…I am assuming maximum defense at this point for you. I get 4 more hits, that will leave you with a battleship and a fighter, unless you prefer to see if I retreat after your counter if you take the Battleship?

  • Thinking


  • I’m keeping the battleship to keep a counterattack possibility alive

  • 2024 2023

    Your counter-fire gets 5 hits this time, I’m considering my options…


  • It’s always interesting when one scores more hits in the 2nd round than the first. Sometimes a lot more


  • It’s amazing how missing one tiny thing could cost you a game of G40, I love it

    I can’t figure it out, seems MARTI sometimes puts them in order, other times not.

  • 2024 2023

    Lots of excitement for sure. I got lucky with only one hit back to finish the job. Will consider China and UK soon and post those too!


  • Not in a hurry, dealing with flying badger and developing my unstoppable barbarossa
    Big airstrike of UK fleet in 97, he had perfect rolls but the Germans have all 12 starting planes


  • What’s great is, it seems a Jap counterattack on 37 is coming, so the TUVs will go down further


  • I just have to be happy no tech

    YET

  • 2024 2023

    Yeah, about 50/50 chance for my USA to have Tech at 4 rolls. Got about a 40% chance next turn if I don’t buy tokens to get one. So it’ll come soon… ;)
