@JapanDOWRound1Fan:

Now you have the chessy shot to open with Tank+Bomber and I need to sac even more Inf. 3 to be risky and 4 to be safe. I hate to sac 4 more inf. But I hate retreating to Moscow that turn even more. What would you do?

I would throw a mini-rant!!  :lol:

I don’t know, man, I’m glad I don’t have to play me  :-D

[gamerman01]

@JapanDOWRound1Fan:

this sucks so much. I wanted to be smart and now I look like an idiot. I somehow still think the attack would have been right because it would have saved Inf I had to put into Tambov + 2 IPC etc. As underdog I guess I would make that attack again.

That didn’t make you look like an idiot.  Any good player would agree that was not a bad decision.  You are too much a perfectionist - you are liable to quit playing A&A out of frustration for how the dice foils your plans - I’ve seen it several times….  You just have to remember that it does the same to your opponent just as often, but perhaps not in the same game!

Some games are won or lost due to dice, but it is only around 20%… Still, that’s 1 in 5

[gamerman01]

With 57, buy 3 INF, 2 ARM, 2 SS, 3 DD

True words, I appreciate it. I tend to take all this too seriously. The problem is the games last for so long, there seems to be so much at stake at every single battle. I also need to get more experience to be a bit less dramatic about bad dices^^

I damn overlooked the bombers could reach in Yenisay, an unnecessary step to the Russian demise.

I made an US edit in the UK move, I hope you believe me there not at all any influence by UK dices in it. I simply realized the option to Bombard the London AB with IT and then take off SZ110 quite easily which would considered to be game over. Not sure if you would have done that attack but I did not want to invite you. Please let me know if you are ok with it.

Crud, another problem with Triple A.

It is illegal to pick up 2 ground units in combat move and only drop one on hostile territory.  You have to unload everything on the transport.

You may leave the artillery in Gibraltar, or drop it off on Normandy, but it can’t stay on the transport if you drop an infantry in Normandy.

I guess I should wait to do Italy’s turn until you decide.
I will add it to my Triple A problems list.

[JDOW]

Changed my mind about it because otherwise SZ92 is as weak as 110 would be after SBR. So I put my DD at risk in order to make the SBR less attractive to you in order to dodge 3x1s to get a 66% shot at 110.

[JDOW]

Wow, you were fast^^ I did not know that, I thought single unloads were allowed. This sucks of course :( I need to think what to do!

[gamerman01]

@JapanDOWRound1Fan:

Wow, you were fast^^ I did not know that, I thought single unloads were allowed.

Me too, until about a year ago…  Kind of a strange rule.

Now, if you already had 2 units on the transport from the previous turn, then you can drop 1 in combat move.  Also, if you already have ONE unit on board, you can pick up one in combat move, and drop that same one off, keeping the previous one on.

What you can’t do, is pick up 2 ground units in combat move and only drop 1 off.

[seth4god]

I thought they were as well. Gamer, do you mind giving me chapter and verse? My playgroup plays with the assumption that single unloads are allowed. So I want to be able to show them because some of them won’t accept that ‘some guy on the internet told me’ story.  :roll:
