#1 trulpen (X) vs cds (A) A&A P2V no tech LL

[cds]

Made a mistake, played in pbem mode instead of forum. I guess dicey is done aswell and send to you. I have saved again in forum mode, so the settings are still correct (I hope).

I have the worst luck with dice so far, again lost units on all attacks :(

Yes, you are very aggressive :) I see stuff I like very much, but such a aggressive approach will always backfire on other fronts, which could be exploited if the opponent is willing/able to do so.

One big positive with investing early in fleet with Germany can be that it relieves the Pac a lot for Japan. I don’t usually go with this approach, but with almost all british navy on the bottom of the ocean I thought it could be an interesting strategy. We’ll see how things turn out.

[cds]

Problem with learning from other people’s moves is that its difficult to understand their follow up moves and or buys. We have a saying in our country, which translated means:
‘let the cobbler stick to his last’ and meaning that you can better keep to what you know then try new idea’s ;)

[trulpen]

Some truth in that, but I also believe in curiosity and trying to learn new things. Development makes life more interesting.

Japan expands. Just an unfortunate fail in Celebes, but just didn’t have enough carriers to allocate air there.

Scramble sz17 and/or sz107?!

[trulpen]

No scramble to z17 and can’t scramble to z107, since it’s a sub.

[cds]

I see you edited the cruiser from sz37 to sz38, but that cruiser did a bombardment on borneo. I know that you could have done it without bombardment, because you had a sure hit with 1 inf 1 art 1 ftr, but its getting sometimes confusing to see the edits and keep up with what each units has done in the meantime. Ill let it go, but I hope you can try to keep it to a minimum ;)

I know how hard it is without edit, so I never mind it when it happens, but perhaps mention it when you do. Then I am not up for a surprise.

[trulpen]

Yep, sorry, didn’t mean to do a shore bombardment on Borneo. A slip.

[trulpen]

I’ll try to avoid edits, but when it happens I’ll notify you.

[cds]

No problem, I know this game is much larger then any other version of A&A, especially the classic from the '80’s :) That was childsplay in comparison with this game. I see you are playing much more games at the moment as I am, so you are more then likely going to make mistakes sometime.
