heh heh

yea i saw ANZC dusted Singapore. Actually, only UK can do that and it costs against there 20 PU spending. So you might want to just give ANZC an extra 4 bucks or unit equivalent and put the Harbor back and let UK dust it next rd.

I doubt JPN will attack Rd 2, so you should be safe but yea, Iusually whack it early. Same with PHIs

Best combo for a Commisar "Corps" game wise, is at least 1 Tank and 2 Mech or any type of Move 2 unit. Early game that isn't always possible.

Usually you will just have 3 Tanks and the Commiesar.

Will do a test save before R's next turn showing how to move to the Boxes. I think Trout already did with his Panzer Army, so you can look at History how he did it.

Notes should explain it fairly well but it can still be confusing until you do it a few times.

@trout

R2 seems clear but I have no idea how to actually make the two ARMY GROUPS. But I want in Ukraine and Moscow two such Army Groups and with the commissar leader, a tank next and Art and Inf for the final 3 pieces.

And I want to arm mines but don't know how.

I note that you attacked Southern France with almost a Panzer Division and the entire Luftwaffe - I am proud...hahaha

@trout About to start R2 but had to reread the rules - so you bought a Battleship !? WOW. I actually enjoyed the movie about a BB in Hawaii fighting aliens like two decades ago...

I forgot to mention that the Australians paid hard cash to Destroy a harbor they had to deny those shifty Japs (gosh I LOVE Japanese girls... can we switch please? I'll trade you Russia for Japan. I'm returning there a couple weeks I hope...

@beelee
And how do I "arm" mines? I read about engineers but can we arm mines another way? And did I do good to put mines in India? I thought that that was the only exception to otherwise having to put mines in the capital and ship them to wherever ...

OK so I will try to buy a commissar but I am still confused over WHERE you put your Panzer General formation and units?

And I see I can already form Soviet Commissar "groups" or whatever they are called, consisting of the Commissar unit and 3 others land units (likely a tank and two infantry but who knows...)

I need to know how to do all this so my R2 might end up being just a practice round since I don't know that they are at war with anyone yet right??

@trout

I tried changing settings again but I'm still not getting the end game report of how much dough you get. I'll post turn and then delete and re dl triplea and see if it works again. I think it got fckd up with the latest pre. Not sure. I still have it too so I'll delete it as well.

Are you getting die rolls in email ?

lol good thing that Trprt couldn't hit back LMs at 110

Edit
The Rail activated Persia. Needed to move the dude there.

Edit 2
jfc forgot to move DD

EXP Game 8 Trout UK 2edit2.tsvg

Edit 3
lol I forgot Home Defence. I'll do it on ANZC

Edit 4
I better hope that FlakTower hits heavy and Home defence, otherwise tommie is pretty much fckd lol

Edit 5
well test didn't go very good lol

Got a Ftr and 2 Bmbrs and a LM hit but your 2's hit at over 50 % and tommy only got 7 hits total lol

I'm gonna run it again. Said 68% win rate for jerry after I adjusted.

You'd think i'd learn by now I mathed out what I need to do turn 1 so it cant' happen anymore or at least get odds down to 23 % without totally waxing UK first turn

Edit 6
well a little closer but I think this is gonna be a quick Game over for tommie unless that Flaktower devastates your Bmbrs

4 more Inf would only give you 23% so i'll have to pull back from India turn1 as i like to move the UK Trprt

Reminder. You hand roll for Ftrs and the LMs. Flak will do the Bmbrs correctly

Edit 7
yea that Flak gonna be key. With 1 Ftr and 1 LM hit and 3 Bmbr/Tac hits odds swing to tommie at 44 %

2 Bmr hits at 55%

Not sure the battle calc gets it though, because Tommy getting his ass kicked with the 2 Bmbr 1 Ftr 1 LM hit and the LM probably lucky

OK I'll stop buggin
