OK, we’re gonna have some fun!

Italy builds a carrier and two destroyers.
The only combat is 1 inf, 1 art from Rostov plus the tac from Stalingrad attacks the 1 Russian inf in Bryansk. The tac then lands in Stalingrad on non-combat, along with reinforcements from Kiev and Rostov, and the Med sub and the 2 Stalingrad fighters meet up in SZ 97 to land on the newly build carrier. And then we have a shitton of submarine convoys.

OK! 1 income runs the gauntlet and gets through from Marseilles, 1 income squeaks through from the Adriatic, and then Italy collects 1 for Bulgaria, 2 for Kiev, 2 for Rostov, and 1 for Bryansk.

Total of 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8 IPCs for Italy next turn.

Destroyers and carrier go in SZ 97.

Franzac up!

Italy 8.AAM

[Karl7]

wait, you saved up several turns of Italy income?

[Argothair]

That was two full turns of spending. Your submarines whiffed a couple turns ago, and I put the entire turn’s income in the bank. Didn’t you notice there were no infantry reinforcements in Italian Kiev?

Anyway, like I said, we’re going to have some fun. Italy’s not out of the woods yet.

I didn’t realize you saved Tobruk for the Russians as well as Ethiopia and Somalia…that’s a neat trick. Have to play Balanced Mod next time! ;-)

Ha, yeah, this game is a little janky in as much as it is set up for Alpha 2?  Not even alpha 3, which is the closes appox to OBB.

You should really give Triple a another chance.

[Argothair]

Heh. Yeah, I’m sure there were a few setup errors, which I’m happy to try to correct if we play another game. I don’t know much about the difference between Alpha 2 and Alpha 3, but I tried to set the board up as close to OOB Europe 1940 Second Edition and Pacific 1940 Second Edition as possible. I was under the impression that the “Second Edition” titles trumped and came after all the various Alpha revisions, but maybe I’m wrong about that. Feel free to teach me!

As far as TripleA, dude, you need to give that s*** a rest. I’ve made it very clear that I don’t ever want to play TripleA again because I think it’s very bad for my mental health. Even if you disagree, you need to back off and respect my decision. It’s not funny, and it’s not welcome.

[Karl7]

ok!  Tripple a never again!  Gah!

I am leaving for Idaho all next week FYI.  Maybe when I get back I’ll convince my wife to allow a live game.  We can set this one up.  Since we are pretty far along, hopefully we could finish in a solid afternoon-evening.

[Argothair]

Sure, that could be fun! I’d be down for that. Hope your family is healthy, and have fun in Idaho. I bet there’s good fishing there this time of year. Are you gonna teach your kids to fish when they’re old enough?

[Karl7]

Nah, mostly just family reunion stuff… and frankly I’ve never been much for fishing.
