Wheatbeer (axis) vs kilroynothere (allies) G40 A3

[kilroynothere]

Yeah… I’m so unsure of how to play Russia, I’m just trying to figure out what you might do so I can try desperately to counter it…  Maybe I don’t need to think about that, but otherwise, you’ll just run over Russia… Or at least I think you will.

Playing the allies is getting more fun now that I am starting to understand a bit of how the mechanics work of “delay and pull back” then wait for the right opportunity or for forces to be built to start the counter.

And I type my moves up in word and just accidentally copied into the response. You just saw into my mind!!!  You should be frightened. :-D  And with low luck, I do think you can plan a few moves ahead as you have a much better chance of knowing what units will be there.

hehehe, I was wondering if that was intentional or not

(forgot to write: jav twlo 1 inf)

Low luck still feels weird to me, but I think it’s fun so far.  I haven’t had to bother running an odds calculator since I don’t need overwhelming force on either offense or defense for battles that must be won.

[kilroynothere]

Yeah I think it feels very weird. I specifically am not sure of the aa and sub fire. Both are those types of fights where you really hope for a lucky result… almost count on it, you know?  I think if we play low luck again (which I generally do like) we would allow subs to fire normally and for aa guns to fire normally. Oh, and maybe for interceptors as well?  What do you think?

Just realized, that I forgot to collect the +6 NO for China last round. So, actually have 15ipc on hand. Not sure if that changes anything for your Japan turn, but feel free to make changes if you need to.

I’ll wait on the US turn until you say it is OK.

Sorry about that.

[wheatbeer]

Not a problem … doesn’t change my Japanese moves.

[kilroynothere]

Cool.  sorry for the delay. Work has been crazy this week so finally getting to think things through a bit more.

First, realized did not move the Russia sub… OK to move to z109?

US2

The US is outraged by the sudden and deliberate attack on our Allies.
