Vance(axis) vs Alexgreat(Allies) G1940a3 new setup

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    gracious from you.

    Sorry to distort this so much. I was hoping you’d use the Italian air for the two cruisers in two SZ, if at all, with a good chance not to take both of them. And without the three subs the attack would have been hard. Thinking was ok I guess, but based on horrible noobness.


  • Ooops almost forgot to move my subs

    z102
    2 subs from z106

    map corrected.

  • I don’t think this is distorted at all.  It is very much the “Battle of Britain” scenario that comes with the new setup.


  • Actually it wouldn’t have made much difference where you put your ships.  I would have sunk  it wherever you put it.  As soon as you built anything other than infantry, and i was sure I could get the french blocker, I would have decided to go sea lion.

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    No doubt that you would have sunk it totally, agree. I just wanted you to lose as much air as possible in the process, to make Sea Lion harder just in case you tried. You moved your inf away first turn, I was suspicious of a feint, but to be honest I judged that Sea Lion was, all in all, very unlikely. Had the German BB remained, I would not have built a fleet.  Well done anyways.

    USSR coming up


  • I think I have 1 too many tacs on West germany.  There should be 3.

    you BUILT one G1!!

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    nope, thought you did, sry

  • corrected map (german subs in z102).

  • By the way, I just noticed you may have forgot to roll for the convoy raids in z106 and z109 last UK turn.  You should roll those and adjust your IPCs at the start of Britain’s turn before you purchase.

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    absolutely, I noticed myself while using the map to weigh my options.

    DiceRolling 4d6:
    (1, 5, 5, 6)

    US, UK tomorrow.

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    will be an unconventional approach with UK, I promise  :wink:


  • I see a couple more more weird things on the map.  The Mozambique infantry are in Tanzania so I moved them back, and I put the pro-allies neutral flag on Eireland and Crete.  It is corrected here.

    ah, similar-color mistake, apologies. Looked like ANZAC to me, not neutral.

    UK 2

    Well, instead of awaiting my inevitably coming slaughter, I will follow up with the concept of distorting Sea Lion away from UK as good as I can. Giving the dice a chance is surely better than having none at all and just costing you a couple of infantry.

    1. PURCHASE (32, this is the corrected amount after subtracting convoy)

    • 2 AC (32)

    2. COMBAT MOVES

    SZ 113 <– 1 Bomber, 3 Fig (UK), Fig landing on the newly mobilized ACs in SZ 110 (theoretically, practically chances are they wont return)
    Boy, S-Italy is a tempting target now, but I’d need to hit twice with CR support shot and armor/inf in the first round…better not, and the 20 plundered, if at all, would go back to Germany anyway  :-)

    Non-combat, the rest of it.

    Scramble orders for SZ 113, pls
