A lot of units are fated to die Round 1 (think US Pacific Fleet). The German Baltic Fleet is just one of them. The difference between the US and Germany is that Germany actually has a chance to do something before the UK blows the fleet out of the water. I think that money spent on saving this fleet is wasted. Use them round 1 to do some damage, and them wave goodbye.

RE: Axis can't win? IMO Allies can't win.
Baloney…. I’ve proven on multiple occasions that I can lose no matter which side I play. :-o

RE: Modules for ABattlemap
Thanks for the info. I’ll see if I can somehow adjust the fonts or screen resolution to make it work.

RE: Modules for ABattlemap
Two quick questions on ABattlemap for whoever creates these modules.
-
My “InfoView” window seems to be too small to display all the information (line after “Land” is cut off, I assume it is total IPC value of sea forces). I can’t seem to resize it so I can read it. Any suggestions?
-
Under the “InfoView” window, the NO values are shown on the line labeled “Oil”. It’s a minor issue, but couldn’t this line be edited to actually say “NO’s” ?
Thanks in advance!

RE: Making German Infantry Meanigful
@Cmdr:
There are a few reasons I advocate the Karelian Attack on Germany 1……
Honestly, with only 4 AA Gun shots, there’s a 33% chance you won’t lost ANY fighters give or take. (I just used LL to estimate the chance.) Even if you do lose one, and I wouldn’t expect to lose more than one, with a 50+ income for Round 2, I think you can afford the replacement fighter!
Have to smile at this one. I tried this on G1, and the KAR AA gun took out three, I say again, three of my fighters at the opening. Who would have thunk? :?
Needless to say, the loss of 3 ftrs and my amphibious force does not bode well for Germany’s prospects. Maybe next time….

RE: Banking
I had trouble with viewing the entire page and accessing the controls. When the page initially loaded, it was larger than my display screen. When I resized it to fit, there were no scroll bars so some sections were “off the page” and thus inaccessible.
Am I doing something wrong?

RE: The Official "Looking for AA50 Opponents" Thread
Haven’t connected with anyone yet. Still looking for a game of '41 w/NO’s. I prefer no tech, but could go either way.
If Questioneer doesn’t respond to your PM, let me know and I’ll play.
Sent a PM….

RE: The Official "Looking for AA50 Opponents" Thread
I’ll play you. 41-version, NOs- yes, but no tech. You want Allies or Axis? Still wanna go??
I only got a game in using the battlemap myself, but I am a long time AA player- Classic (when I was a kid) Revised, Europe, Pacific etc. and I’ve played AA50 about 7 times FTF (face-to-face games) with some good tourney players.
Questioneer
Sorry for the delay… I was out of pocket for a while. Sending a PM.

RE: The Official "Looking for AA50 Opponents" Thread
Still looking for an opponent. I would prefer a '41 scenario with NO’s, but I’m flexible on the set up. I mainly want to work through the mechanics of play on this forum and try out some opening strategies.
Thanks in advance.

RE: The Official "Looking for AA50 Opponents" Thread
Just starting out with play by e-mail/forum/online. I’ve got a couple of games under my belt, but I haven’t played one on this site yet. I’d like to try out a “practice” game of '41 to just work out the mechanics of play and test some opening strategies. Anyone interested in doing 3 rounds? I can go with or without with tech and NO’s.
I have ABattlemap, but can I’m open to other platforms if you don’t mind talking me through it.
