Stalingradski vs Gargantua Alpha 3 No Tech

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    Ah you bastard! You pulled it off!


  • Ummm… what? I need to paint those two German infantry, and keep them in the box for special occasions. Panzergranadiers, I guess.

    I need to continuously be reminded that bad luck is only bad luck if comes at the end of the entire round. I’m actually up an infantry in Greece. Those are the little things that keep me in this game.

    Germany collects 43 + 10 NO = 53 IPCs.

    All things considered, I’m feeling ok. If you can imagine a shift to even odds in this game, you can imagine why I feel comfortable assaulting Russia. Like I said, I’m not saying I will defeat Russia, but I’ll lay out the template for how you can.

    And Russia should be at 36… I adjusted it… what are those Imperial Marines doing in Siberia?  :)


  • I know! I am a bastard! And here’s the map -

    Didn’t I collect 37 on my turn???  So do I have 37 to spend now?

    Also, can you comment on my game with Jen… you are going to LOL when you see the latest development…


  • Good point. I’ve had one extra shot of whiskey. You have 37!

    I’ll check out your game with Jen.

    Let it be known that I have nothing against her - I’m like Switzerland. Neutral.  :)

    Good, all I’m asking for is a sober point of view.


  • Good one!


  • What I see in that game is a massed German assault on Russia, without the benefit of an Atlantic fleet. You alreadt taking Norway is a big deal. If I were her, I wouldn’t let Germany near Norway.

    You set up your Russian defense almost exactly the way I do - pulling forces down into Belarus to be able to hit multiple locations - mechanized forces behind ther lines.

    This game will depend upon her ability to utilize her mech forces with Germany, and your ability to create dead zones with Russia and create a mobile defense. Since she is already being hit in the Atlantic wall, my first instinct is that you have the advantage.

    And for our game, I’m under no illusions that I’m in a good position - just that considering my German opener, I’m doing ok.

    What I meant was her highly illegal move! And her asking to take it back / shuffle aircraft?? :P

    I’m not woried about how either game is progressing, well, not to much anyways :P


  • I didn’t see it! What was it?

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

  • You’ve got to be kidding me. I take a simple risk, and yeah, this is what I get. I fight on, regardless, because sooner or later the dice have to come around.

    Hey Stalin…  I’m trying to figure this out here, help me out! :P

    In Shensi you obviously attacked with aircraft!  and I killed one!  Great! Except…

    I don’t see which aircraft could have attacked?  It’s 3 away from the closest planes, and there are NO safe landing zones for you! :(

    You also landed aircraft in HOPEH, a territory you did NOT control at the beginning of your turn?

    It is possible that you could have sent 2 bombers there to Shensi, but not 2 anything else?  Can you help me out here bro? :P

    I mean, I think it’s to my benefit that I killed a plane! But I can’t in good concience play it out if the move isn’t valid :( :( :(


  • Very sorry, and you’re right. That’s a tough break, because you should have hit a plane. It was a bad choice (and unusual for me), because I very rarely do planes on infantry unless I’m way ahead or way behind.

    Hmmm… how about the next time you have a dice roll at 2 it’s automatic? It might not equal a fighter, but at least you don’t waste the roll.

    I wouldn’t have brought just bombers, unless I had more and/or it served as a can opener at a decisive moment.

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    It’s ok, I won’t hold you to the roll lol.  You can just give me a gimme, when/if I screw something up myself!

    Decide whatever you think is fair, but either way I’ll need you to adjust your move, with the planes to wherever they have to go!  HOPEH is no good!

    That said though, I’m left with the sinking feeling in my gut….  "Does he think he’s “Way ahead”?  or “way behind?”

    LOL…


  • Oh, that on’e easy… neither!

    I’m somewhat behind. Which is bad news for the Axis, but I ain’t dead.

    Here’s the map, sir.
