Scrambles?
I put handicap to Germany (1 inf to Holland) and despite your advice against it, to Italy again (1 destroyer into Adriatic).
Oof, that took me awhile
Luck did not really bless me, but I ripped a victory out of her hand!
Your Russians are trying to put the hurt on Japan and going for big NO cheese… will it work?
Yeah, the stack on Amur messed me up, I was kind of setting up for a J3 but I almost never wait that long. So a weird J2 with no Russians it is…
Yet another Jap unit killed in Cha, what a disaster
And when your US subs are hitting in defense…
Better roll tech. You’ll only need 1…
@gamerman01 Quite the lucky subs I have this game. We’ll see if I can make them Super or not! :P
I can definitely see the case for J3 this game, but investing so much into Siberia is rough and all the big money is down south. Getting some convoy raiding early and taking those islands next round might help you make up the difference.
Sorry about the edits in Brit Somaliland, I was thinking I could pick them up with the transport right away for some reason and not that they had just been in combat… lol 😅

Wow I really got lucky on your turn especially the tech rolls
At least my transport didn’t shoot down your bomber!
@gamerman01 Hah! Yes I was worried about those dangerous Japanese transports, they seemed the most pressing of targets… 😅
@gamerman01 Apologies, if you allow a small edit I forgot part of my NCM as UK Pacific, I was going to occupy Celebes with 2 infantry.
edited the transport, 2 infantry and IPCs.
Sure, thanks for politely asking,
Is at end of UK turn so definitely no problem
I dislike playing the Axis because I don’t like getting surrounded and pecked at over and over again.
I’d rather try to stop the steam-roll
You know what? I think your forgot the bomber on Iceland.
And I’ll let you move it.
@gamerman01 ok thanks! moved it to Gib
triplea_41108_2uk_edited.tsvg
That is just about the biggest possible fleet you can have in the Med at UK2
Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out.

Triple A doesn’t conduct a battle like this properly.
There is a good chance that casualty choices will be required before they should be.
Like right away. My sub scored a hit with MARTI and it asks for a casualty choice but you don’t have to choose until you see the whole attack roll because you have a destroyer (or THREE)
I had to let it roll the sub in order to post the game map.
So it is posted, and I will roll the rest of the dice on forum so that the battle can be done properly.
I also want a little time spacing here (time stamps from MARTI e-mail and time stamps in forum) so that it is clear that everything was done properly. So not doing anything until I hear back.
I wish TripleA would be fixed to do these correctly.
I don’t know you very well yet, but I don’t think you’ll protest first die roll on MARTI, then post map, then go to forum so that you can see the entire Italian dice roll for round 1 and then pick casualties.
