  • You two are not registered for Marti, so I could not put in your emails anyway. Sorry!

    Game ready for you Mark. Remember you will have to wait on Adam’s scramble choices. Once you have done Combat Moves, press Post Moves, so he can see the map with your moves. Good luck!
    Hi Tomas. Hope all is well back home.


  • @wittmann:

    Have fun dying, youngsters!

    Well - he clearly does not mean me!


  • PP: not even I want the death of my allies. Yet!

  • Wittman pointed out I’d made some pretty lame moves so please use take 2 above….


  • I hope you were drunk the first time.

    Did you want to throw the sub and the Norwegian Ft into SZ111 too?


  • If you get on line before my Private does, please scrambke all 3 to the Channel.
    If you don’t add those two units to SZ111, we will also scrambke the Scottish Ft. Otherwise, no to Scottish scrambke.
    Good luck, mein Freund!


  • Hey witt & cred …

    I’ll leave cred to scramble as per witt’s orders (I am merely his private after all). That gives cred the opportunity to change SZ111 if he wishes to do so.

    witt - am I US, UK & UK Pacific? Also - I thought you disabled science/technology usually? Or are we playing this add-on in this game.

    We also ought to clarify any other optional rules I guess? The Bosporus for example?

    Cheers
    PP


  • witt - was remembering that you had said I would play 3 allies in a row, so looking again at the turn order I think I was wrong below and instead you meant:

    Russians : witt
    Americans : witt
    Chinese : PP
    British : PP
    UK Pacific : PP
    ANZAC : witt
    French : witt

    Is that correct?


  • Uou are the US too. It is US, China and UK (one nation, but two economies).
    You will have more to do and more income. I am fine advising you and playing the other three nations. My two are separated by Axis turns. Your three follow on from each other.

    I forgot to disable Tech. I suggest we play without for fhe first game. It is too much of a game changer.


  • Not sure how I can edit the save file itself so I’ll just leave it as it is and suck it up on not utilising the northern sub. And the fighter in Norway. And the battleship. All good learnings for next time…

    Is it me or is it much harder to use all your units on TripleA compared to on a real board? Anyways…

    When you say the channel I presume you mean SZ109 so more Irish Sea/Bristol Channel as there is nothing to attack in the channel itself?

    I’ve scrambled the fighters accordingly.

    Next question how do we deal with selecting casualties? I’m resolving the France battle and have scored 7 hits in the first attack round (the AA guns missed). Presume you would go for the AA gun followed by the 6 infantry but what’s the usual protocol on this?

  • Hi.
    With regard to casualties, is usually ok to go with what the AI takes. Just use your discretion and think what you would like to be left with, if the situation were reversed. (Naval battles with Carriers and no where to lane a plane, needs to be thought out, as AI always takes he Carrier first and that might not be best.)

    Sometimes the other player, might swap a unit, if the battle was a defensive victory and only went one round.
    Just be kind and honest. Can always ask afterwards, if you are unsure if you did the right thing. Usually the other player will be fine with your choice. We are friends and I am cool with things.
