11L LL(+19) v Gamerman01(x) '41 no tech

  • You got your hit in on all 3 at least

  • Ooohh…. That 19 bid is looking more necessary all the time.  I always say first round dice matter way more than any silly little bid.  Love bidding tho - great way to determine sides.

  • And the UK has zero transports in the Atlantic to start the game - lucky me.

  • Wow.  When the dice cooperate, anyone looks like a genius.
    At least you get to wail on my transport in Z62 and make my J1 trickier.

    NCM -
    Nwy - FTR, BMB (Z2) INF (Fin)
    Alg - ART (Lib)
    Blk - INF, ARM (Lib)
    Pol - 3 INF, AA (Ger) ARM (Fra) FTR (Z6)
    Ger - 2 INF (Fra) (what a luxury)
    Z5 - 2 FTR (EPl)

    When there is only one possible way to place units, I skip typing it.
    Collect 45, 45 on hand

  • Also, my MO is to only list casualty choices for myself during my turn if I am choosing a casualty that is not the cheapest.  So in Z6, I took off the sub.  After playing about 75 games online, I have found some shortcuts that don’t affect gameplay, and also make less busy posts.

    Some of my pet peeves:
    People who don’t list sea zones when conducting amphibious assaults.  For example, you can assault NWE from Z5, 6, or 7.  During your combat move, it needs to be clear exactly what you are doing and where every unit is.  There are veteran players who don’t follow this, I’m finding.  I don’t allow it.
    A lot of people don’t run China and the USA according to the rules.  They like to run one or the other completely, and then do the other completely.  This is not according to the rules.  You do the countries concurrently, except when you get to combat move and rolling dice, you do all combat move for one, then roll all dice, then you do combat move for the other, then roll dice, and THEN you move on to doing NCM all together, and placement all together….

    Those are a couple - if I forgot something, I’ll mention it as soon as I can.  Some people on this site would choke when I say this, but I’m an easy going person and always try to be reasonable and cut some slack.  But I don’t cut much slack when it comes to breaking rules that players should know, and I expect my opponents to deal with me the same way.  Anyway, we’ll get along fine - just putting a few things out there for you.

    Bring your A game!  Looks like I’m off to a good start here.


  • A clarification:
    On the sea zones and amphibious assaults - I didn’t mean you need to list the sea zone if there’s only one possible, of course.  If you attack Japan, I know it’s Z62 and you don’t have to type that.  But if you assault Australia, and your transport or transports (if you assault from more than one zone, of course, you need to declare during combat move exactly where everything is, and where it’s being unloaded from) can make it to more than one Australian sea zone (there are 4), I expect you will list the sea zone.  If only one is possible (you are coming from Z53, for example), then no need.

  • Gamerman:

    On second thought, I think I would like to alter that noncombat move considerably if you don’t mind.  Since we aren’t going to fast, I hope it’s ok with you if you give me a little more time to think it through.

    It’s fine since my next move was not affected.  No problem.


  • Gamerman, I know you have your hands full with Dutchman in the tourney and several other games you started before this one, but I would hope we could get a turn per week in at least.  What do you think?

    Cheers


  • PM sent
    Sorry, took a week off.  I know this game will be very enjoyable.  Will post tonight.
