Oh yeah… no scramble!
The boys keep playing cricket… and only jump in their planes once the game is over.
The two things that made it possible were holding Yunnan, where you got some highly variable dice, and dropping the airbase on Kwangsi. Otherwise I don’t have a landing spot without a J2 DOW and a Shan State capture (or alternatively the J3 DOW with the J4 move on Calcutta - which costs me about 50% more planes and I net like 7 IPCs in plunder after the J3 captures and convoy raids).
I don’t take it if it’s not there, but I always prepare for it just in case. I figure the units have other legitimate uses, unlike the guy the buys 10 transports G2 only to figure out he can’t Sealion and then tries to justify the expense by claiming that Archangel is just as legitimate and lucrative a target…
allweneedislove caught me napping without a DD blocker and nuked the 2nd carrier group off Malaya. I’ll not be making that mistake again with UK’s navy sitting off Ceylon…

Ok, I can bear to open the map and look now… :-D
I’ll try to post soon, sir.
No worries; the lull gave me a chance to see if I could pull victory from the jaws of defeat on another game where I had lost the Kreigsmarine and had to keep burning the Luftwaffe trying to keep the Royal Navy at bay all game long, ended up having to go 2 rounds too early against the Soviets at Moscow, even though I held Cairo, because I was about to lose Paris and Rome. Yeah, that didn’t work out. I think if I could hit in round 1 with like 90% of my infantry and artillery, I’d have had like a 25% of victory in Moscow. Kind of like needing a 6 of diamonds on the turn and a 9 of diamonds on the river to suck out… I also screwed up that destroyer block which made me go 1 round too late on Calcutta, more resources diverted for 1 round for Japan and a tiny IPC haul. I did learn a very important piece of information about bid placement, though!

I thought I was grabbing the bomber from S Italy for the battle in Morocco and grabbed a fighter by mistake (I hate that stupid silhouette on the Italian bomber). I edited the fighter back and edited the bomber to land in S France. If there’s an issue, you can edit it back.
The bid I played against was 9 (I thought most are 6 or 8, but I was promised a return-game under the same bid switching sides, so, whatever) and he put a sub above Egypt and an Infantry in Anglo-Egypt Sudan. The sub saved 1.5 plane losses for him doing Taranto UK1 and allowed him to keep enough air at home to take care of my fleet. I think that one sub was probably worth about 50 IPC to him, between the immediate fighter savings, the opportunity cost I had to spend to sink surface vessels in the Med, and the long term savings off of London.
I’ll never have a problem with edits - no worries!
I can see how that one unit would make a huge difference. I have a really hard time with the concept of bids in this version… the game has been playtested to death. But if it comes my way at some point, at least I know what a reasonable amount is - thanks -

On Anzac’s turn I noticed a pretty important fighter that was sipposed to land on the Phillipines fleet - and I mistakenly clicked the island and just noticed. All apologies, I edited it, and you can change it back if you’d like.
I apologize for not putting up much of a fight in this game. I’m playing pretty much like a newbie, which is strange considering I’ve been playing one form of A&A or another since the original came out all those years ago. Just one of those games, I guess. I’ll keep plodding along, and see where it goes.
A couple dice fall differently in round 1 and it changes the complexion drastically.

I think it’s funny that Japan has been an imperialistic juggernaut and has taken over India. America has been sleeping on the sidelines all game, wakes up, yawns, and already has more money than Japan does after Japan sacked Calcutta. :lol:
An embarrassment of riches! Now I have to turn all those raw materials into something to change the course of the war…
Speaking of which, I never play with tech, but you left it on when you created the game… is tech in or out?
