I’ve gone through 50 train tunnels now and about to puke from the rocking sideways… darn Japanese built this thing when they colonized Taiwan…

But back to figuring out this crazy amazing game:

How does subs intercept fleets ? Can enemy fleets move through ?

Example: sea zones 109 110. If Uk has a stack of fighters and there are subs in those zones… how can a German invasion fleet get around this?

To put it another way… when can subs act like naval mines?

Is there any examples of play to help learn this game? If not

Would you guys be interested in helping me make such videos for a YouTube channel? I’d love to add such a thing to mine.

@trout

yea tough game for the Donkeys again. Jags playing pretty good this year. Not sure who Texans get. I haven't done my picks yet.

So you almost got the AF right 🙂 You have a "G AC Ftr" instead of a "G Tac AF". The other units are correct. you have the "G AC Tac" which will boost the Tac, but you don't have a "Tac AF" to get boosted.

The extra AC gave you one too many rolls as the AC's will get 2 rolls automatically.

Anyway, it didn't affect anything. The commies would have been slaughtered regardless.

Totally spaced stalingrad lol. Looks kinda naked without it's Fctry 🙂

Placed the AT wrong and forgot to move the Engnr

@nothingtoseehere small update haven’t had another chance to look at it yet and it seems this health issue is poking it’s head back up so yeah sorry but not sure my timeline at the moment

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks. I see you have quite a game going on with Alex right now. But whenever you want to start up a Game 3, I am ready. I usually have a bit more time for our hobby during the holidays as I work in an industry that slows down quite a bit at this time with folks taking vacation time.

@crockett36 scramble orders for 110 and 111?

testing to see if I can delete a post

edit
I can't 🙂

@trout my first response will be to scramble my minions with orders to get me the actual game download as well as some dice rolling program

And no I’ll Not be scrambling any aircraft (I recall Concluding that scrambling fighters is a waste of time/resources in these games)

Thanks! Just saw this!

@panzerstahl-helm-0

oh if you were able to select all the casualties I think you can hit "enter" to accept.

Edit
you can also drag the edge of the window to make it bigger to show how many units if needed

Edit 2
Yes another epic battle. The early naval defeat was hard to come back from. I'm up for the Report on this one. I just finished the Trout Game 5 report and am working on the multi now.

It'll take me a while to get done. See if I can shorten them up 🙂

I don't think there are any pressing updates, so 2.52 should work going forward.

Let me know when you ready to battle again.

@trout

Right arm. I'll finish up the reports and maybe do a small update. Although maybe just wait on that. The Capatain has a buncha new stuff hitting soon or byend of year early next year.

Is Pizza and the A&A kid gonna get a oob going ? I will follow that if they do 🙂

@trout said in EXP Game 5 barnee vs Trout:

We will instead go to Hawaii which is his reward for getting his Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do later this year. He wants to go surfing.

I have a good Alaska buddy on the Big Island. If you gonna be there, let me know. He's way cool and has a badass boat. Take you fishing if you like to do that.

He was born there. Knows the place well 🙂

@beelee I will give it a shot seeing if I can finally figure out how to post screenshots. If so, I can complete the game report

Another Fun game Panzer. I didn't know if the J 2 would work or not. I used to do it in solo games and had some success. I tried it once against Victory but forgot some dudes to the PHI attack and then rolled poorly and didn't take it, so not a real good test of it.

Do you wanna do the Game Report for this one ? Maybe you can have your AI buddy help 🙂 I know you have a young Familie and work, so I can if you just don't have the time. I think it's good to alternate though 🙂

I have some more work to do now for the next update. Should be ready to roll again in a week or so. I'm sure you will want a crack at revenge 🙂 so we can battle again when you're ready 🙂

Edit
Here's a new place for the Air Boxes if you want. It didn't make the last update. I guess a Ftr Ace will still cause overflow but that's ok 🙂

I think it'll be most efficient to have both Ftr and Tac ACs in the same Box. Then just move which one is needed instead of edit back and forth

I'd be a Yukonner if I was 🙂

Yep I'm a yank. Living in the Heartland. Actually was born in Cali but only lived there for six years.

I try to keep that kinda quiet these days lol
