@Daaras Had to redo my turn because I noobishly just forgot to include the Urals tanks in my attacks lol
Jim010 (Allies) vs Cmdr. Jen (Axis) 15 VC game, NOs, No Tech

Nah, I don’t think you care that much - but on the off chance you did… (I’m specifically targetting certain lunatics that troll the boards across the internet that love nothing better to pick up on things like this and use them forever more to try and slander people. No one in specific, just random trolls and lunatics.)
Anyway, Alsch was asking how I could land 21 planes if I attacked India. You do it with an Airbase in Kwangsi, it allows you to land in Yunnan, Burma or Sham State, and of course, you have the 6 planes that can land on carriers as well. Part of the “trick” is to buy planes with Japan starting on Round 2 to get your mobility back after sacrificing 2 to the Indian AA Guns and maybe 2 or 3 more so you can have a ground unit left to “control” India.
I have made this resolution before, but I am going to make it again: I am never going to play a game that tests a specific strategy where I have told my opponent what I am going to test. I think it invalidates the test. I wish we had signatures too, that would be my new one!
-
But, you didn’t tell us what you were going to do.
Your moves did predict it, though. And I do Sealion myself all the time, so I know the tell tale signs. It’s not just buying a CV and 2 TTs that gives it away.
-
Yes - our moves were fairly standard. You could have turned right around and done Barbarossa if you wanted. I would have had several things I know I would have done on UK 2 in that case.

I was under the impression this was a test of the strategy. Therefore, I had to do what I did with as few modifications as possible to ensure I did what I did… (like boats in SZ 113 which is still in range of England.)
I did not realize this was a game “for fun” in which case I would have demanded one of your partners get on my side of the table…I didnt ask and discouraged it because I thought we were testing the specific strategy and I didn’t trust you three to do it right. To be perfectly blunt.

:?
I asked if someone wanted to play a bid game. You answered the call. No mention of Sealion was made. No one expected you to play that, but you did make it obvious that was what you were going to do. All mves were predicated on that.
My Russian moves were made to stand in Epl and advance when you took London if I had the opportunity to do so and to counter attack in Leningrad if you aborted London and went after me. I wasn’t completely convinced you were going to go through with Sealion, so I had to account for the choices you had.
If you want to play again (no play test, just play) ok. Get a partner and lets go again.
-
Love to play a game for fun… I’ll take just about any partner, just talk to me before placing a bid for our side. ^_^
I’ve played a couple of global VC games, it seems 12 is a pretty even number - just my opinion.
-
OK. I will have to tell Alsch that I can’t play my group game with him if I play this one.
I’l round up some players.

Have him come here.

Stirling will play. He and I play well together.

He did say he prefers 1 vs 1. Did you want to play again Alsch? ghr2?
I have my partner with Stirling. We know each other pretty well. All we need is your partner and we can start bidding.

whats happening?

We’re having a redo, 2 on 2, and this time I won’t think I have to prove a strategy…
-
jenn wanna partner with me? :mrgreen:
-
jenn wanna partner with me? :mrgreen:
Sure.
Just so you’re aware, we are bidding for number of victory cities to win the game, so PM me the least amount you think you think we need to win, okay?
-
Lets just do an auction. Keep bidding up until one side passes.
I’ll start the bidding at 9 VCs
-
I’m gone this weekend, by the way, so I can’t start until Monday. I could get a move in tomorrow, maybe.

you are more experienced than me. I’d like you to bid for both!
-
I’m pretty sure you don’t want to give me the Axis at 9 VCs.
-
Fine, we’ll go with 12 VCs.
-
@Cmdr:
Fine, we’ll go with 12 VCs.
It’ll take FOREVER to bid up one at a time….
