13L G40.2 AllWeNeedIsLove vs Gamerman01 (Allies +10)

[gamerman01]

Surprised you bought 2 tacs
I thought they were on your do not buy list  :-)

[gamerman01]

Some major Russian resistance, there…

I was beginning to think that was an oxymoron, given my experiences in recent games  :-)

[gamerman01]

Either you don’t know about what US/UK can do with the Danish straits, or you forgot.
You just handed the game to me on a silver platter.
I don’t really want to win that way.
Do you need to change your noncom/placement?
I’m leaving for a couple hours - go ahead and make some edits if you want.

Or just concede now and save us the trouble.

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

So I have 2 unused spots on 1 American transport.

Just making sure…

I DID tell you clearly that there were open slots on a USA transport so that you wouldn’t be caught by surprise.

yeah they are not a good general purchase, but in this case they made an even pairing with fighters and apparently i am going to need every last pip in the atlantic.

yes you did state clearly that you had an open transport. i appreciate you checking though, it is sportsmanlike of you.

yes a very classy move. but i have the sub for protection.

[boldfresh]

no you do not have the sub for protection.

[boldfresh]

i’d say, off the top of my head, that there is an 80% chance you will lose germany.

[allweneedislove]

@Boldfresh:

i think you are wrong bold, but you now have me paranoid.

usa takes denmark.
uk then moves to sz113 or tries to move to sz114.
germany then scrambles 3 figs.
i have 67% chance at winning the seabattle, stopping any chance at amphibious assault on berlin.

yes i know i am giving a 33% chance at berlin and the game, but i feel like that is an acceptable risk at this point in the game.

[boldfresh]

Ok u have been warned.

[gamerman01]

Perhaps I was too hasty to say anything.
I need to bring up the map again (when my 14 y/o gets off the appropriate computer) to consider your sub and scrambling planes.  I did forget that your planes could scramble inside the Baltic Sea also.  :oops:

[gamerman01]

Nope, there is a 99.999% chance that I will take Berlin.  That’s the odds that USA can take Denmark against 3 scrambling fighters.

The UK can ignore the sub in Z113.  The sub must be in the destination zone to stop an unescorted transport.  And that doesn’t matter because I do have destroyers.

Berlin will certainly fall and this game is over unless you change your noncoms, which I will allow.

[gamerman01]

You can’t scramble anything against the UK attack from Z114.  You have zero chance of stopping the UK taking Berlin.

[allweneedislove]

well this is embarassing. i thought the sub would stop the uk from getting to sz114.
i checked the rule book and you can ignore it with the destroyer escort and i can not scramble. i lose berlin and the game.

i am not used to losing, even with poor dice. you played great and i was looking forward to finishing this game as i felt i might lose.

it is very sportsmanlike of you to let me change my noncombat, but my whole german(and italian) turn was based of the sub initiating a scramble. i am going to see if i change my noncombat, if i can still defend. if so, and you are still offering, i will take you up on the edit option.

[gamerman01]

Yes I’m still offering.

The sub can be ignored even WITHOUT any destroyers.
A sub has to be in the DESTINATION zone to stop unescorted transports.

[gamerman01]

I don’t take my wins off rules technicalities

Edit away
