Damn a power a turn, I should start the war early with the US before you run out of techs to get.
at least they aren’t techs that will help you out in the pacific….could be worse, you could have gotten radar. :-P

Right. All them AA Gun shots those pesky Americans get.
Hey, don’t start the war, I won’t start the war. It’s a win / win. Now, what I want is for you to pull all your war machines back to Tokyo and issue a formal apology for existing on MY planet! I’ll leave you alone then. lol.
I actually think the long range my cost me the game, given the strategy I am employing, we’ll know on turn 5.
**Italy turn 2:

save 17 IPCs

Except for 1 convoy damage missing, and my lucky 1 hit on defending land units (1 out of 6), Italy can’t get much worse lol. We should take away that hit and the IPC lol. 1 less unit and I might have hit Alx with my air and land.
add to that:
z91: Uk lost DD; Italy lost dd
z88: UK lost trn-its safer to attack units that don’t roll-I promise I play better than this normally :)

I guess you figured London first was coming :| Had to test out a moderate Sea Lion given the pressure on Med. And to test A3 countermeasures.

Notes:
OOL:z109 dd,ca,2ftr,cv,cv if you hit twice first round and I hit 2+ times; if you hit 3 times first round or I hit less than 2 times: dd,ca,cv,cv,2ftr
OOL: z111: bb,ftr,bb,cv,cv,ftr if its the last round, 4th hit is on ftr instead of first cv.
OOL: if things swing wildly, you can consult me instead of accept OOL above. Goal is to leave carriers so that Italy can land to defend against French while still clearing UK air.
If you are uncomfortable, you can ask me after each round…if you even attack me :roll: Sorry, I can be too anal at times.
Actually since zone 111 is important, consult me each round please…might as well consult on both those battles, cancel OOL

Not sure i want to risk 3 fighters and a strategic bomber against a battleship, carrier and 2 fighters. The other side in SZ 109 might be easier….that’s a DD, CA, AC, 2 Fighters…less punch in the grand scheme of things. Even then, probably won’t attack it.
Gunna have some Italians in Scotland here soon, eh? Aint no thing.
Nope, they are bringing pizza to Ireland ;)
Just looking for a cheap way to get their Income up ;) besides they got some unexploded bombs that you used on their fleet, they want to return them, so you can fix them ;)
Hey, hands off my artillery (it is still on the transport in z109. I ain’t letting you shoot it. Unless you sink the fleet) ;)

Sorry, some of your units were outside the sea zone, etc, was trying to get things back in, at least on my map. If it’s on the tranny, it’s on the tranny…not like I plan to fly over to Ireland and try to kill it with just planes. (You have to go through Scotland to hit Ireland with ground troops.)
I was joking about the hands off tone…hence the smiley face
No problem at all, that was just to clarify the position so you were not surprised later. I know we play multiple games, and little text reminders can help when skimming the report.
Regarding air strafes, I have taught many players a hard lesson about landing all units where air can strafe easier than engaging a large fleet. Especially when Japan moves against India or Australia…a simple strafe makes a giant fleet useless for threatening a capital if you catch all the ground forces :) Not standard, but logically sound under those conditions. One game, I strafed 2 inf in CPR and the Japanese expeditionary fleet off Africa was then useless in terms of land conquest.
So yes, I am being gun shy, and tricky if things work as intended. This presents the axis with a few more options should you build and move certain ways, the disadvantage is that the axis have 2 less units to pressure with…(1 in the trn could be on ground + 1 for the space that would be free=2). I have learned to be very detail oriented and thus I seldom rule out even the absurd. The absurd moves have actually helped a few times, cause they are unexpected.
Example, Italians in Scotland-lol I bet I am the first person you have played to present this option…granted you drove Italy to extremes based on an excellent shutdown turn 1. [patting your back] So now they are desperate and disorganized ;)
No, it’s not the first time. I landed Italians in London against Mollari. He had killed off the German fleet and run the Italians out to Gibraltar. He completely forgot about the Strategic and the units in Gibraltar so, unconventional Sea Lion, but Sea Lion none-the-less!
Yes, normally I see people unload the transports. However, you are less more units than you might think. You have units in Ireland, so you have to bring those over by transport as well, if you want them in London. :P
Not sure if you’ll be able to pull off Sea Lion. But it’s certainly worth the effort to encourage the creation of Home Guard units, no?
I am not convinced that Sea lion is good or bad, nor that I have to capture London, sometimes, the distraction can be a justification. Just seeing what develops. I will post Japan, just finishing up online classes today, I have finals Monday and Tuesday, I should post Japan tonight if I finish early, or tomorrow morning.
