Mallery (Axis) vs. Eqqman (Allies) 40.2 No Frills!

[Eqqman]

Turn posted for the Russians.

I’d ask how often the Italy-buffing strategy works out for you, but if the Allies always lose, then it isn’t too relevant.

[Mallery29]

Welcome back!  Italy Buffing?  Not sure what you mean by that….I’ve only played Global (including online) about 10 times.  While I’ve had success as before, I’m still learning and trying out things.

I’ve got work today, so you won’t see my Japan move till tomorrow!  :cry:

@Mallery29:

Welcome back!  Italy Buffing?  Not sure what you mean by that…

From what I’ve read in the forums, giving S. France to Italy is already an uncommon move, but you’ve done that and given them Normandy as well, which would be highly unusual.

In the future, you might want to ask your opponents if they want to switch to a newer version of TripleA mid-game.  I’m having some difficulties getting this saved game opened up.  Since every version of the game gets installed in its own folder, it is easy to finish existing games in old versions while you start new ones in the later versions.

Need scramble orders for SZ 97 (saved game is in previous post).  It will save time if you can also slip me an OOL for SZ 97 but if you want to wait for dice to be rolled first, I understand.

@Eqqman:

In the future, you might want to ask your opponents if they want to switch to a newer version of TripleA mid-game.  I’m having some difficulties getting this saved game opened up.  Since every version of the game gets installed in its own folder, it is easy to finish existing games in old versions while you start new ones in the later versions.

I still have the old version, the problem is with 7 games going on, I couldn’t remember who was on what revision (I had to upgrade because one of my opponents had).  Don’t delete your old version yet…I can always switch if needed, but looks like you got it going.

As for scramble, I’ll give you when I get home…I don’t remember what is engaging what, so I’ll give you an update here shortly.

@Mallery29:

Scramble: Yes. All 5 FTRs.

5?

…I didn’t catch that you had an Air Base in Yugoslavia, which makes the battle nearly un-winnable (as planned I’m sure).  With your permission I’d like to redo the British combat moves.

[Mallery29]

Permission granted… :-D

[Eqqman]

Thanks!

Of course, by working to protect the Italian fleet, you may now be exposing Germany to a worse fate than I originally had planned for them…

I’m probably making huge mistakes in Asia with the British, but it presents a quandary.  Most of what I read implies that you can constantly send small counter-attacks out of Calcutta, but I don’t see any scenario doing that which doesn’t lead to being snuffed out J3/J4 if Japan even halfheartedly goes for it.  Of course, even if you do nothing but turtle, Japan can still snuff you out if they really push it, so might as well attack I suppose.

Well, there goes the Med  :cry:

[Eqqman]

Not quite sure why you’re so glum, you have plenty of blockers to keep me from hitting Italy directly for a couple of turns.

I expected landings in Syria to make a play for Iraq, but I would have dumped everybody into the same territory and not split your troops to give yourself a more defensible stack there.  +2 Italians isn’t enough to save the Iraqis.

I have an error posting the game so I’ll do a DropBox upload again.
