XDAP2 PIT FIGHT Bad Dice (+100) v Boldman

[gamerman01]

As far as pondering R1, well……

You have 7 less men than usual, and the Germans have already advanced and control East Poland.  I don’t know what you should do - you’re basically already screwed.  Germany has only lost 1 plane.  Better get the UK to send battleships to Moscow - oh, wait…

:wink: Just friendly gamesmanship, I hope you understand  :-D

We could attack Finland and then have UK take Norway and land the RAF in Karelia….

We also need an OOL for Berlin.

@Gamerman01:

Don’t mind Bold - he’s one of the pushiest players on the boards.  Tries to rush people into bad moves, or just can’t wait to see the game progress, sometimes both.

We’ll see if he even has time to play this game

man oh man…. no, i was just asking if he knew when it might be nothing more.

[Gargantua]

Didn’t first edition have a Russian transport in the Baltic?

[gamerman01]

No, they did not

But in XDAP 1, the crazy moderator had everybody start with a bomber in Moscow

[variance]

I remember a transport

[Soulblighter]

@variance:

I remember a transport

I remember a Russian fleet.

[gamerman01]

OK, OK, I checked my actual board game and out of the box it was a battleship and transport in 115.  If you had a battleship and transport in 115 I would have sunk them G1 :)

You could not scramble from the UK or from Leningrad OOB - only islands could scramble and UK wasn’t considered an island, while Japan was.

Aah the bad old days.  Major ICs in $2 territories, airbases in Malta and Gibraltar, 100% sealion….

Thanks a lot for pressuring them for R1, Bold, now I have to take their ribbing
