  • 110 and 111 scramble?


  • Sorry, missed this message for a while.  Scramble all 5 fighters to 109 (add fighter to Scotland).


  • z110:

    I got two hits. This is what remains:

    1 damaged battleship
    2 british planes
    1 french plane

    what would you like to lose?


  • You must be confused, they scrambled to 109.


  • My appologies. I’ll have to reroll the 110 and 109 sea battles.


  • No problem, it happens.


  • It tells me you can only scramble four planes to 109 (one from scotland, 3 from UK). So you want to scramble the four, because I am not sure where you are getting five planes from.


  • You haven’t added in the extra fighter in Scotland from the bid.


  • Will do. What is NG by the way? New guinea?


  • Yeah New Guinea.

    The first few rounds are critical and make the rest of the game either fun or really painful.  I think that you are very new to playing G40.  Let’s make this a friendly game and you can redo mistakes and learn some more strategy.  I am still learning so much myself!

    Do you want to take a look at what other good players do for a German opening move and copy their moves?  For example, send your subs to 106 instead of 109 so you don’t face the British airforce.  Consider redoing G1


  • I’m new to playing G40. Only played a fingerful of games. I don’t have much experience doing Sea Lion, though I must say, usually I would be a bit overkill when taking France and make sure to take it. I tried to distribute my forces this time and it resulted in me failing to take France at the expense of trying to focus on your Navy.

    Sure. I’m alright starting G1 all over due to the mess I’ve already created. I appologize.


  • No problem, the first game of G40 that I played, I forgot that Rome was the capitol of Italy and Berlin was the capitol of Germany.  Take a look at the standard opening moves that other games use for Germany and try again.

    I personally never use Sea Lion unless they are truly taunting me by not buying any troops in London.  Even then, I usually opt for hitting Moscow on G6 or G7.  A majority of my German money is used in the following way:

    Turn 1:  buy art
    Turn 2: buy mech infantry and a few tanks
    Turn 3:  buy more mech infantry + planes
    Turn 4:  see what is needed
    Turn 5:  Planes

    I will add in a sub to prevent Russia from getting the Archangel convoy bonus, and a destroyer if I need to take out an annoying Russian sub;  otherwise I focus on the eventual fall of Moscow.

  • 115 scramble from Novgorod?


  • nope.


  • Remember to submerge my Russian sub.  You don’t have a destroyer so can’t hit it when the sub chooses to hide.


  • @Arthur:

    Alright.  Air raid. Do you want your plane from Novgorod to intercept?
