@Stalingradski:

@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.

No problem… I just like it when you use the words “US ftrs” and “crash” in the same sentence…  8-)

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.

[Stalingradski]

I hear you - let me take a look, and I appreciate the reminder. I was planning on bringing some German aircraft down to make sure I was defendable from any attack, so the answer is probably no.

But I’ll take a look and confirm.

I’m juggling this plus the Bruins game plus a daughter playing about six different games with me, so I’ll do my best  :-D

Totally understand the juggling.  I think either of us would be a lot more scary players if our attention wasnt so divided.

I am not saying I have you dead anywhere or that there is anything I would change if I were in your spot… I just know there is a lot of danger in the area and I just wanted to double notify you of the mixed air and accs.

Cheers

One of my biggest wish list triplea fixes is to make it clear and easy to tell what air is on what accs.

[Stalingradski]

No, I’m fine - my turn stands as is, and I appreciate your sportsmanship!

I strongly subscribe to one of Musashi’s principles in The Book of Five Rings - the resolute acceptance of death. I’ve already accepted defeat, and death, before I begin any venture… and I’ve also accepted victory, should the gods will it  :wink:

Regarding time to play - yes! I wish I had the experience of some of the people here, and I wouldn’t mind being 22 again and this was a big chunk of all I had to worry about. I don’t ever have the time to look at different scenarios to see the long term ramifications of my moves. Man, I wish I could… it’s always just download a map, do the best I can in the time I have, and send it away. I find that I generally make a couple mistakes per game more than my opponents - which is partly my fault and partly a time issue. At this level, a couple mistakes is the difference between winning and losing. Example - my current game I’m losing against Allweneedislove - I had three separate times I misjudged the range of his bombers, and every single time I paid for it. Considering the fact that I’m at 7 VCs on the Europe map, those three mistakes were a huge factor in not having a chance to win. Ugh. No excuses - mistakes are part of the game. But I agree that you and I could be closer to the top of the heap if resources (mostly time) were not a factor.
