Wittmann (Allies) + Rus bmb vs Gargantua (Axis) G40

[Witt]

You talk of socialism on July 20th of all days: Long live Germany! No time to post, not my kind of topic either. I am not a rebel, but an ultra conservative.

I will be disappointed if you do not build a Minor in Egypt for me to capture and reverse the imbalance in what will always be our sphere of influence, the Med.

As for Korea, please have it. I have one spare, indoctrinated, Russian to hold the Siberian Front. He has orders to retreat slowly in the face of waves of Nips.

[Witt]

Looking at the results, wish I had stayed in the Med with my 3 ships.
And I know your Hermans could reach them.
I am looking two ways with the Nips at the back door.
Stupid ships going backwards and forwards, with no purpose.

Might ask Al nicely if I can do Anzac/France later tonight, then you can plan your German moves. Otherwise will creep out of bed in the night. (Done that many times in my youth.)
Girls and booze eh!

[Gargantua]

Hahaha!

Well, we share political values.

As for your ships… I -was- surprised you didn’t make a hold off of Egypt.  Italy was at the breaking point, and now I’ve had a chance to slightly recover.  Cost me two Italian fighters, but Europe was also a huge win for the forces of good in this game. :)

And the nips are on the mend… soon the “waves” will be coming - I promise.

[Witt]

If you win(and you deserve to), it might be because I have not given you choices.
I have left you only one viable attack on two occasions.
If I had have pressured more, it might have caused you to take the wrong decision which threat to neutralise. Have been too cautious at times.
I thought I had to be patient and let the Allied economy difference come into play.
I still hold it.

[Witt]

Running away with those ships would have  made sense if I had built a TT off India.
But I am scared of the b a stard Nip planes.

Do you fancy yourself a good Napoleon player?
I have lost to BjCard, but it has swung both ways.

Combat Move - French

[Witt]

I only have one Frog!

I think if my Anzac attack on Java had worked I could have caused you problems.
You need Transports!
Perhaps I should have sent the Indian one to Java instead and not bothered with Iraq.
The Java attack was an afterthought, so not properly thought through. Needed to think whole move from the beginning again.
You need to capitalise now, as I am running low on patience. I will throw the Americans at you next go. No mercy!
I am loving this game.

[Gargantua]

I am attacking Sz115 with 1 acc, 1 dst, 1 sub, 1 cru, 1 fgt, 1 tac.

Really don’t think you’ll scramble… as it would be suicide for your airforce.  But if you decide you wanted to we can reroll the battle.  :evil:

Sorry that was 2 tacs in the Sz115 battle.

As for that German turn -phew- it’s over.  Now for the rest of the game Russians should be paying dearly!

Your definetly keeping things interesting, and Keeping axis troops hungry…  my lines are very thin across the board.  Alteast the Russians are now too!

[Witt]

You sneaky blocking b stard! How can I sink your Sub and reclaim my bonus if you throw Destroyers in my path?
I will not forget this.
I am hungry for Russian revenue and you deny me!

[Witt]

Happy that I only have 41 this turn? I attacked viciously with the evil intent of spreading Communism, forgetting the two attacked territories were already turned by us years ago! Ouch! Would have been better to hold back.
Move your two Fighters if you would prefer them in Baltic rather than Finland.

Re the naval battle: when I only got one hit on R1, I thought I was a gonner. Never say I lie down for it!
On the Far Eastern Front thought it was better to pull back too. Hope that does not upset you too much.

[Witt]

Forget what I said about the Fighters: they could not go anywhere else.

Well there was a very interesting Kunundrum on that turn…

I built a naval base for Java, and moved my entire fleet there.  It was a sure thing.

However my round 1 attack scored only 2 hits…  with the knowledge that “of course” I was going to win, and lots of -tips- available, the logical casualty choice was for ANZAC to tip the carrier and take the destroyer.  And this selection must be decided before the defender rolls.

Of course… as soon as I made the selection, ANZAC scored 4 hits.  Only because there was a tilted carrier, I then selected all -tips- instead of planes, and retreated. Leaving the 2 ANZAC fighters to crash land in the ocean.

I know you play an honest game, and I believe you would agree with this outcome occuring as it may.  However… as an honest player, be sure to tell me if you have some huge problem with what has occured, and I’ll have to return to the Japanese Casualty selection phase, and determine if I’ll be pressing the attack, taking the dst/1acc as a causalty or what have you.

I’m pretty sure in a face to face scenario, we’d be exactly where we’re at.

Am on the sofa. I go with your choices.
You earnt loads this turn and Russia did not.
I think you have me.
Cairo and Java may have made it beyond me.
Talk in the morning. Goodnight.

[Witt]

Have reread. I  would keep the damaged Carrier and one Ft.
You have to stay and fight in Java, or I have a Carrier, damaged, alive. Last Fighter crashes.
Why would you not retreat at this point?

Fight and take another hit. You have lost nothing, despite 4 hits.

[Witt]

Sorry for being a thicko.
I see my Carrier and TT are alive. That is great.
Forget my last.
