League discussion thread for classic

There is a new discussion thread in the league (link is above) devoted to the Classic version. A veteran of the league who’s played a lot of G40 has already posted to the thread,

Giving you the link and you can get involved with the discussion even if you may not ever play a league game (the thread is for you)

Going forward as hopefully some or all of you play a Classic game in the league some time soon, that (pinned) thread is dedicated for discussion between you

gamerman01

Thank you very much for kicking off the discussion,

“World War II Classic” is the one to look for.

I don’t know if you ever got to enjoy playing on that board, but the Triple A representation is a really good replica.

gamerman01

Please take your time.

I have wondered about your hope like this - dice coming

I think I understand,

It’s because I couldn’t bear to watch such a plan destroyed by dice

And I do hope you win and survive with at least 1 or 2 bombers

uh, what did you figure out…

Not sure what you mean here,

Final answer, no scrambling now, no scrambling to 97, I would rather fight the planes with my ground units

You may give me maximum defense, I tell you because I questioned you a few times before, don’t want you to be hesitant on this one, of course this one’s obvious

I will scramble to the UK attack.

Check that, I’m tired.

I will NOT scramble to the UK attack because you can only land one plane on the carrier and get away with 2 bombers. But after all the confusion you have me second guessing myself on everything. All planes will have 1 movement left, so 1 will land on carrier and the rest on North Italy.

this may make you think over scramble to US assault … I gonna wait

That is very considerate of you, but I’m confident I figured out what I want to do.

Do not scramble to 95, and do not scramble to 97. Those Italian pilots are heaving a sigh of relief now.

@gamerman01

do you want me to wait with rolling so you can reconsider after you slept?

I do understand the scramble factors, what occurred to me (I mean, I can’t see finished US turn yet) is that UK planes will be able to land in North Italy, so as you said, I do not scramble, although scrambling has a 10% chance of stopping the whole thing.

As you said, I will not scramble to 95 OR to 97 either because more planes will be stuck on North Italy

gamerman01

gamerman01

Yeah, no scramble because I want you to send in the carrier.

I am almost rooting for your dice, that move is so clever. But not too much.

Talk to you later

gamerman01

Wait, I was confused again, wasn’t I, the fighter can land on North Italy.

gamerman01

That one is particularly dastardly. You truly are my friend Boldfresh’s kindred spirit, and it has been too long since I had to look out for sneaky moves. Especially sneaky, because I really could not figure out the Tambov airbase, and that is saying something.

I mean, I just can’t believe it. You were obviously targeting 97 because of the Russian carrier move and I still couldn’t find it. All the boring players around here made me go dull. 😏

I almost missed that you have to land the US fighter on the carrier, so one less UK fighter can get in. So I won’t scramble.

As you can tell, I’m up way too late, so any more decisions will have to wait.

And now I’m starting to play in a Classic tournament so I will make more mistakes. There’s no way I could be playing PTV unfortunately, I can’t do the back and forth between versions.

gamerman01

@pacifiersboard That’s true, I almost didn’t even consider/calculate it, and then was surprised at the odds

Checking situation -

gamerman01

I bought the last complex, forgot to add to game notes,
There are still 3 AA guns left

You really turned up the heat - have fun with your G4 and please do not roll long range aircraft or industrial production!

That was a costly error. After I started over to change my purchase, I failed to click the fighter/bomber from FIC and went into it with 2 less aircraft. I had options with them after, but…

That could have been a complete disaster. I would probably have had to try and beg for some merciful concession, but as it turned out I can just eat the mistake.
