The French put up such a fierce resistance  :roll:

[gamerman01]

Shoot, I can give you the ANZ and French moves now, I think

[jim010]

@Gamerman01:

UK1 with 29, London buys 9 INF (save 2)
With 17, Calcutta buys 4 INF, MECH (save 1)

UK only has $28 to spend, not $29.

UK will have $35 to spend next turn.

Cheers

Bid was 1 to UK bank account - you just forgot

[gamerman01]

You were hoping I would have to buy something less than a tank, perhaps?  :-)
I purposely made sure I had 36  :-D

[jim010]

Touche.  Of course, I have 3 bmbs to reduce your factory capacity anyways.

[gamerman01]

Ooh - I forgot about the different SBR rules. 
Yep, didn’t factor them in.  Glad I moved the tac to Morocco, then.  And I guess I’m looking at the 6 in excess of 30 a bit differently now.  Still, every one counts.

I see interceptors are weakened considerably….
Having never played Alpha3, I’ve also never done the new convoy method.  Will be interesting.

I am sorely tempted to do Sealion, but then I’d be leaving the Italians out to dry.  And I’ve never won a game when Italy was weak.

[jim010]

I’m sticking with the plan.

Its late, and I forgot 1 battle.  I wanted to hit Wfr with 1 inf, 3 art from Paris.  I need permission to do so.  If not, I understand.

[gamerman01]

Whew!  I like how you have 70 at the end of G1 so that you can buy 10 transports.
Nice SeaLion feint.  Not sure it’s worth it even if you take London with heavy losses (losing most of your planes) and without buying a ground unit on G2, but I thought I’d better go with pretty much maximum defense anyway.
You had me sweating about those 3 SBR’s, though.  3 bombers in Alpha3 could potentially do 20 max damage to a complex….  which is cool…
I think I’m liking this version of the game better than all previous.

I guess another Alpha3 change is that USSR can declare war a turn early if Germany takes London G3…

Soon I get to see whether you’re serious about India crush…

I’m looking forward to the game getting past round 2, because I’ve never played many rounds in a single 1940 game…
Thanks again for granting me the game - I’m having a good time
