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

[allweneedislove]

would you like to intercept?

[gamerman01]

Yes, intercept with both fighters

The way things have been going, you’ll probably shoot down a fighter or two and all the AA in both battles will miss.

Or has my horrible luck (across other games) run its course and you are going to be the unfortunate victim?  :evil:

[allweneedislove]

this feels so weird… and delightful. the dice gods have smiled upon me and i did not lose a single squadron.

the luftwaffe is strong

Strange, the rolls are out of order in my e-mail…

SBR damage before AA rolls, and defender before attacker in Yugo… what gives?  Is that normal?

[gamerman01]

Balls to the walls for Russia on G5, eh?  Even bought TWO MORE TACS to save 2 IPC’s, at the expense of building ground units on the front.

That’s all-in

[gamerman01]

SO ironic.

The guy who rails against tanks and tacs the most, buys more than any opponent I’ve ever played.

yeah that is weird, probably something to do with how your hotmail or gmail receives them.

the g1 barb, is an all in strat for g5 attack on moscow. no room for messing around with extra units on the front, in defense or even taking the valuable ukraine factory.

i am not sure if it is irony or hypocrisy.

check out post #113 of this thread http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=26808.105
i got a pm from rocmonster and a couple others refuting my g5 moscow attack plan. i gave them the breakdown of purchases and attacks and said i would use it against a good experienced opponent. so dont let me down and stop me from taking moscow on g5.

i still think tanks and this strategy are not as good as artillery and a g7 moscow attack.

[gamerman01]

Tech fail!  Radar would have been OH SO SWEET

[gamerman01]

I’m starting to formulate my post-Moscow-apocalypse plan.  I’m not sure the game is yours, especially if you get below median result in Moscow.  I should get all of your tanks except one, and a lot of aircraft.  I don’t know - time will tell.

I’m experienced at A&A, but not in Global.  That’s my caveat.

[gamerman01]

@allweneedislove:

I’ve already called you a hypocrite so thought I’d pull back a bit  :-)

I would be happy if you went to a “tank purchases are dead” thread and admitted that you buy them a lot now.  And tacs.

[gamerman01]

And I’m buying AA here, even though I’ve been saying recently that they’re over-priced.

Still - wish they cost 4.
