14L - G40 BOLD (axis) vs. JWW (allies +15), No tech, 1 unit per territory

[boldfresh]

ok, i can’t roll till later today, so you can chew on that G1 for a while and let me know if/where you want to scramble.

cheers!

[boldfresh]

other big thing tripleA rolls wrong is when there are tact and strat bombing runs
on multiple assets in the same territory.  these must be rolled on the forum.

[666]

@Boldfresh:

  probably later today you could see G1.

by later today I guess you meant in the next 15 seconds?  :lol: this is going to be like speed chess, huh. Just so that I disappoint you I will not be able to move so quickly throughout this game.

totally agreed.  i do not expect this to move quickly at all, nor will i be able to move quickly.  just had a few minutes more than expected waiting for the wife to be ready to leave - we are going to cut down our christmas tree  :wink:

[boldfresh]

this is an aggressive german opener that usually leads to interesting games.
often goes really badly.  lost france the last time i tried it, lost it badly.  barely even took it with the italian follow up.

so, this is my way to spice it up - if at first it fails try again!

[666]

@Boldfresh:

when subs are involved it also rolls the air separate from the boats.  so all the attacking air fires, then it asked for casualties before the attacking boats fire.  we can do all naval on the forum if in doubt.

I did notice this but didn’t think it was too significant but I can see where this could cause a problem too.

this is due to AA fire right, the aa fire should be separated into bmb’s vs Tacs?

I fully understand waiting for the mrs……

I went to a fake tree many moons ago and am quite pleased with the decision…

[666]

as much as I think I should have a full scramble I will not…

No scramble.

[boldfresh]

weird, thought i posted a map in this thread - must have done so by accident in another or else the post didn’t go through!

i cleared 110 taking 1 hit (to battleship).  second battle was 111 and i got three hits on offense, leaving you with one unit - what would you like that unit to be?  destroyer, cruiser, or damaged battleship?
