G40: Private Panic (Allies, USA +10/turn) vs. teslas

[teslas]

@Private:

@teslas:

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.

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.

[Private-Panic]

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.

Of course that’s fine tes.

When I cock up against Wittman I just redo my go and tell him why. Never for improved dice rolls, but because I made a mistake such as yours.

Will look at USA, etc tomorrow.
