14L G40 Me1945 (+20) vs Gamerman01 (x)

[gamerman01]

Wouldn’t that be nice - wouldn’t have to e-mail it back and forth then…

[gamerman01]

Man, I see why I put this off.  This move is so huge and complicated

[gamerman01]

I got it mostly figured out, but then needed a break…  Closer than ever now  :-P

[Me1945]

Yep, the late turns takes abnormal time for me.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, I’ve decided several things already - fleet going to 33, that I’m not going to try the roughly 50/50 attack on your fleet - after all, any surviving carriers or battleship would immediately repair - going to stay in NTE and reinforce…. the buy is a huge decision but I have it figured out… still have to decide where I want my planes in Asia to end up, and how to keep pressure on India  :-)

Could have also gone for an attack on Queensland and see how much damage I can do, but I decided against big attacks this turn
There’s just so many things to decide and figure out with this one, but yes I am getting close!

[gamerman01]

I may not be able to keep much pressure on India while also being safe in 33 and reinforcing NTE.  Probably the biggest decision left is whether to allow you to take and hold India this turn.  If I decide I can’t allow that, then I might have to change my mind about Australia and/or 33, or my buy

You could make all this a lot easier by making a mistake on USA11, please!  :wink:

[gamerman01]

I seem to have boxed myself in a bit by leaving the German bomber on Carolines.  I’m not sure if it’s because I decided I was going to 33 for sure, or because I didn’t realize that you could air strike the Carolines with absolutely everything on Queensland, but right now I think the fleet is going to 33 so that you won’t go after the Grey bomber.

Hey, it’s the 2014 #1 against the #2 - it’s gonna be like Kasparov vs. Deep Blue at times  :-D

[gamerman01]

Oh, right, file is too big to post

E-mailed it to you -
Need scramble decision for Queensland
I’m attacking a destroyer with a sub, 3 fighters and a tac

Wanna give that poor destroyer a fighting chance?  :wink:

[Me1945]

Agree, man. Poor DD. Let’s exchange it just for a sub.
No scramble.

[gamerman01]

<sigh>I tried  :|</sigh>

[gamerman01]

Well, that was a nice called shot on drilling my sub, but otherwise it went well for me

E-mailed the file

[gamerman01]

Your turn to have smoke rolling out of your ears  :wink:

[gamerman01]

Don’t forget to finish me off….
Although I’m content with a stalemate!  Probably can’t pull this one out of the fire…

[Me1945]

Don’t give Allies credits. It is not over yet unfortunately. The move is almost done. Need some tweaking.

[gamerman01]

Not wanting to rush you, just didn’t want to avoid a loss the weaselly way so just reminding you

[Soulblighter]

Somebody is looking for some me time :P.
