13L G1940 Arathorn (Axis) vs Cmdr Jennifer (Allies +12)

[Jennifer]

Feel free to confirm with Gamerman or Krieghund, however.  It IS, after all, my first game of 2013.

It’s one of those stupid little details that really doesn’t make much sense, especially after the transports no longer could take part in battle with any value as either roller/casualty.

Italy has been diced out… frustrating

Yes, I believe any hope for Italy to have their National Objectives is pretty much gone at this time.  Unfortunately, I had assumed Italy would do far better in this game, and now have Russian units out of position, lol!  (That and I was hardly expecting to have America in the war on round 1!)  So you have that, at least.  And Germany did do well in E. Poland, which is why those tanks were never counter attacked.  It’s not much, but it’s something.

Unfortunately, the French were rather upset with you for taking Paris.

@Gamerman01:

@Cmdr:

Just to clarify, if one was to attack a sea zone with the hopes of offloading transports for an amphibious attack, but is forced to retreat the transports because they lost the battle, the transports cannot unload their cargo in NCM, right?

I seem to recall that being the rule, but, as you know, I’m in my first game back and my first game for 2013!  Not to mention, my first game of Second Edition….

That’s right - it has been that way since at least AA50

Alright, looking forward to seeing what, of the myriad of options the Germans have, the Germans do!

[arathorn]

Even though bad dice caused it to be tricky and uphill for the European theatre, especially with Italy (I mean, how many times is a person supposed to miss on 4’s?) Germany will do as they did back then, assume responsibility and clean out the Allies.

See your German dice are getting better.  Unexpected loss for you in SZ 112, but no losses when one was expected against the French controlled Italian waters.

Post a round later today.

G1 + J1 is fun stuff.  Cool :D

So far I have only done it on live games, because a late DOW game is too long.

Oh well, I gambled and lost in Poland.  Was hoping for 2 hits and you getting 1 hit, I got 3 hits and you got 2 hits.  Oh well.  At least I cleaned out those 88’s!

I have to say, the biggest thing I miss with TripleA right now is the way we used to save map files in Battlemap.  Emp. Mollari devised this naming convention that really worked out GREAT!

An example:

01_AGermany
01_BRussia
01_CJapan
01_DAllies
01_EItaly
01_ZFrance (the Z was mine, cause FFrance looks weird.)
02_AGermany

This way the 01 & 02 represented the turn, and the proceeding letters put the maps in the correct order when looking in your folder.  I guess you don’t need it anymore, since you can look at the turn history.  Would still help in locating the right file when opening it in TripleA though!

Bump #1  Just a friendly reminder! =^_^=

Since you said in PM you wanted until the 25th before you could return to the States, I’ll go ahead and hold off on this for a bit.  Let you have time to breath, I don’t want you to make a mistake because you get rushed.

[arathorn]

It is not necessary unless you want to. If you only want to do one game at a time, and I’m a little slow these days, then I understand if you want to go ahead and get someone else while I’m in the phase where I can only post once a day on average.

I’ll post a round on Wednesday so you have time to get back to the US.  It’s not a big deal, I might get someone to play a hardcore, fast hitting game on Saturday where the game both starts and ends on Saturday, just to get my first win under my belt. =^_^=
