I just started a game where I DOW against all allies on G1 and J1. Germany hit USSR on round one and I’m going to keep that pressure up as long as possible. Japan is somewhat spread out to make all the attacks I wanted on J1 and those battles are awaiting scramble orders.

The theory is US is like the fire station and all of a sudden two huge fires just flared up in opposite directions. If they go all out against one fire, they should be able to put it out. The trick that US will have to manage is putting enough help on BOTH fires before one fire or another becomes an unstoppable raging inferno. I don’t know how this will turn out, but at the very least it should be a fun/interesting game.

Sorry guys, I do have a life. 

I don’t really have time to play on here as often as I’ve done in the past. Having said that, expect Italy tonight.

@Gargantua:

I plan to hit that sea zone.

You could confirm it now and save both parties time.

It’s fairly obvious you will scramble.  And your ool is basically selected for you, whether the bomber or the sub hits.

The OOL is not quite black and white, if my dd dies the trn is dead if you choose to lose the bmb instead. Scramble if you send both the ss/bmb, but ask for OOL.

Ask for scramble/ool if you hit my transport/dd.

@Karl7:

JAPAN?

@DutchmanD:

Gents, I am traveling with my family, so getting some quality minutes to look over the map is rough, and obviously I need more than a few minutes given the situation as it is.  So, I asked Seth to hold off for a bit so we can get on the same page.

Sooo . . . . just a reminder to those impatient. He’s still busy and still traveling.  :roll:@Karl7:

JAPAN?

considering it’s Rd6, those French deprived the axis of a lot more than just 9 ipcs in income.

That Frenchie is FINALLY dead and he went out taking another guy with him. The 2 original French dudes in Normandy killed 3 infantry, 3mech, and an aa gun whilst taking 2 territories and defending in 2 other battles. Now that that mess is sorted out, Yugo is next on my list. Maybe just maybe I might have a shot still in Europe now that the French are no more on continental Europe. Call me crazy, but the people rejoiced!
