I ended up pussying out of being super aggressive with the Atlantic Axis. I think I’m going to make you have a Very Bad Day with decent odds instead of trying to make you have an Extremely Bad Day with chancy odds.

[Private-Panic]

@teslas:

You sneaky punk! I did not see that bomber in range of my transport. That stings pretty hard.

Time to think about what to do as the Axis in the light of you pushing both theaters at once as America. You definitely invested enough to outpace German naval spending.

I think I enjoyed retaking the Philippines the most!

Saw your sub blocking TT question. Only thing I can think of is Italy declaring war on Russia, with G’s TT going north on its turn? There’s no subs to block Italy’s Med TT.

I was thinking of declaring on Russia, then using the German TT to take Novgorod, but the economic gains/losses weren’t worth it, especially since I need my navy to kill the American navy, so I couldn’t have blocked SZ 125 against the Russian NO.

Need your scrambles off of Gibraltar.

[Private-Panic]

Scramble all 3 fighters please tes.

[Private-Panic]

BTW - I think I am killing the German navy rather than you killing the US one!

You should win it, but the avg is 5 units left - which is 4 bombers and 1 other unit. Whereas the US has more navy to bring to bear……

G has purchased 4 subs I see so that will cause me more problems.

Good luck though! :wink:

Phew, that first round was awful. The second round, thank sweet baby fucking jesus, went a bit better for me.

I had 4 units left, not 5, but that’s fine. I kept my expensive bombers, and the rest was just there to take hits anyway.

I think that pretty much ends the American threat in the Atlantic for the next two turns, but unfortunately, I have been building almost no land units, so soviets are going to have one hell of a fucking wall up by the time I get into Russia.

[Private-Panic]

That’s the idea of course - the more G invests in a losing naval war the better for the allies I reckon!

No doubt you’ll prove me wrong!

[teslas]

Hopefully.

Show me what you got, Russia. Your turn, comrade.

Well - I think I am benefitting from my first game as allies against wittman being slightly advanced compared to this my second. Hopefully I am learning from my mistakes in the other one!

[teslas]

Unfortunately, I think I may have drank too much already to competently take my turn.

Looking at the board, however, I don’t see any super risky or great players Japan can make, but maybe some fresh eyes in the morning will help that.

Otherwise, it looks like I retake phillipines, take malaya, and then prep to activate the mongolians on japan’s next turn.

Until tomorrow!

[Private-Panic]

You mean TRY!

[teslas]

I totally forgot to send planes in vs. the one british guy in Yunnan.

So I rolled through the first round then retreated (no hits). I am going to roll dice manually now for the shit ton of planes that could have come in, then reroll all the infantry:

My two bombers rolled a 4 and a 6, which is enough to kill your guy.
Your guy shoots back with a 5, missing.

I hope you trust me if it doesn’t show up in the dice emails.
