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


  • LOL this brings back memories of AA50.

    First, you couldn’t hit the tech on Triple A either!
    Second, it makes total sense to roll tech before getting in to planning your move - I remember especially that my arch-nemesis from back in the day would always do that.

    But they were just AA50 moves. He mainly did it because he couldn’t wait to see if he got something.

    Well, UK is one step closer to LRA then. Got radar out of the way. That will stop the bombings of Egypt, and might actually do me a favor by deterring failed SBR raids of my precious long-range bombers.

    too bad you can’t get long-range paratroopin’ heavy bombers any more.
    And they had an additional range of TWO in the little AA50 map, lol. We house-ruled it to 1

    Now I have all 3 moves to make tonight, since I shook down badger. Maybe I’d better play him first :p

    I got the Iceland battle, that makes UK happy. Losing 2 in Carolines and 3! in Syria was a little unexpected, but I won all the battles and got UK Pacific a juicy set of IPCs to bring against Japan. The bomber fleet stands ready if USA can get lucky…

    I haven’t played much tech except in Classic but I love Anniversary, great map set up. I just miss airbases for the scramble every time I play. Now when I play OOB/BM I miss carrier scrambles and land scrambles. Hard for me to not play PtV exclusively at this point, but a lot of BM opponents on here ;)


  • Path to Victory has become much more popular lately

    I’d love to play parts of it, but after 1 team game on it, I know I can’t go back and forth with the scrambles, it scrambles my brain

  • Well I clearly didn’t have an answer to the first time I faced a Yunnan gambit and a 51 bid
    Missing 2 fighters to Shan made it a whole lot worse. Will the dice allow me to salvage a bit?

    Scramble to 33, or save the ANZAC fighter for future exploits?

  • 2024 2023

    @gamerman01 Scramble ANZAC fighter! thanks


  • Thank you!

    Just how much are the Japs going to keep America and India’s attention? This could get very, very interesting


  • Destroyers, subs, aircraft, I want to do this on the forum so we’re not being asked for casualty choices before we should be
    I’ll post the map at each point.


  • We have the kitchen sink that Japan is desperately throwing at the Allied fleet complete with 4 transports at the Carolines. 5 bombers are looking zip right to the Carolines this turn to join them.

    Will there be anything to join?

    The TUVs will look really interesting after this.

    2 DD
    1 CA

    Technically subs would be rolled separately because they can’t hit aircraft, but it won’t matter here
