13L G40 Stalingradski (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies+8)

[boldfresh]

my head starts to spin when i look at all the possible directions i can go with these allies.  too tired to tackle this big move tonight…  :|  gotta stick to smaller easier ones if i can muster the strength.  :lol:

[Stalingradski]

No problem, good sir - all I care about right now is a four day weekend coming, and lots of chances for A&A -  :-)

[boldfresh]

ok stali - let’s get this one rolling.  rather than make you wait any longer i’m taking a stab with this move.  :wink:

need your decisions for scramble and/or kami in z6.

[Stalingradski]

No kamis… no scramble! Goodbye destroyer… hello convoy raids.

[boldfresh]

ok gotta deal with tripleA issues manually here again.  there are currently 2 british ftr and tac on 2 US acc in z91.  when i move the acc’s into 92 it leaves a british ftr/tac behind on the british acc.  so i will leave the 2 US ftrs to crash in 91, then edit the UK ftr/tac into 92 and put the US ftrs back into z91 on the british acc.

i’m going to go ahead and admit that i am bringing a tough game at you here… if you are able to solve it, then you have performed quite a feat!  :-)

[Stalingradski]

Yes - you will rip the Med apart - and there’s nothing I can do about it. I have to play defense and don’t let S Italy fall. I’ll have to resign myself to making attacks of opportunity in that theater.

So, I’ll need to find out what you’ve given up to accomplish this, and exploit it  :-)

Isn’t that the eternal A&A quest? It’s what makes it an amazing game… chess on steroids, with a dose of chance thrown in.

yeah that’s exactly how i feel about it - much more complicated and exciting than chess.  i don’t think i’ve given up anything to accomplish this…  :-P

[boldfresh]

you are what i like to call “smack dab” in the middle of it.  it’s all coming together this game - until the dice bitch slap me to the pavement again.  :-P

[boldfresh]

oops i see i put the ab in egy, obviously was meant for trj…  :lol:

[boldfresh]

sorry bout that…  originally meant to put it in egy, but then decided to put my planes in trj instead…  :-P

[boldfresh]

hey stali - no worries, i know you ran your turn before you saw my edit.  since you didn’t realize my ab was in trj you would not have asked for the scramble.  i don’t mind just leaving all as is with the ab in trj for simplicity.

[boldfresh]

if the AB in trj changes anything for you, please feel free to re-do your entire turn.

[Stalingradski]

I saw your PM as well - I would have probably left your destroyer alone. I have no problem with it being placed in TJ, and since your destroyer ended up hitting and clearing the SZ for your boats in the Suez, it seems like a fair trade.

[boldfresh]

so it does not affect your buy or your non combat move at all?

[boldfresh]

also just another reminder that there two ftrs and 2 tacs non 2US aircraft carriers in z 92 (ftr tac on each). The uk acc carries 2 us ftrs.  Make sure there is nothing you want to do differently and again if u wish to redo the whole turn feel free.
