EXP Game 5 barnee vs Trout

beelee

yea he's been overhyped from the get go. Still a good player.

Fwiw I tested both attacks last night and they both succeeded

See above in case you missed my edit

Edit
Everything else looks good. No scramble

Edit 2
Reminder. Don't take the 6th hit on the FlakTower. It'll shoot at the Bmbrs correctly but not the Ftrs. You will have to handroll for those.

Edit 3
Actually, you only have 2 Arty. It can boost the Elite and a Armored Mech, so I wouldn't mess with the Marine.

For the AC, you just have to undo one move, then edit move from the Box the Tac AC. If you add directly it won't work.

Don't have to redo half your turn that way.

Edit 4
Actually you didn't move 2nd Luftloffen, so you'll have to redo your turn anyway. Have to move Defenders into the TTys before any Attackers.

When you activate 2nd Luft you want the "GAirCommanderFtr"

and then these guys

I guess technically, you should leave the marine as is or if the Arty boosts something else, he'll attack at 2.

Idk. Pita I'm not worried either way, but since he's already A1, I wouldn't change him

Trout

@beelee Okay

beelee

@trout

I'd have to make a separate unit for each one the Arty can boost. That's not gonna happen. If triplea is slightly off so be it.

If it's a game deciding battle and people want, they can just fight it in edit

Trout

@beelee I don't know if I will do this right or not I dice botted 9 fighters and you killed three. I think the flak will shoot at the bombers if I understand correctly what you said. Here goes .....

beelee

@trout

yes Flak will shoot at the Bmbrs. Wow ! I got 3 ? Awesome

It will also not shoot at the B-29

Trout

@beelee Either Flak had misses on the bombers or I just missed what happened, but in any case your Germans held strong and smashed the Yankees. I lost all but the HB and you lost all ground troops except damaged SS Heavy and your Luftwoffen is intact. In the Pacific, Carolines now belong to USA. That's it for tonight. Will do UK/ANZAC tomorrow. I think I will attack Burma on UK15 and if that goes bad, will possibly concede. But will sleep on it first.

Considering how things looked in the Med after Turn 2, you put up a magnificent defense which rebuffed me big time in my two attempts. First time in S. France and next time this turn. But I am taking notes for the next game with you sir ......

beelee

@trout

Oh ?

Would you post the USA turn tonight please ?

My calcualations have the Allies with the edge but if they suffered a big defeat in Italy, it will slow them down at any rate.

You Have the ME and SSR is strong

Edit
Yes I also anticipate an attack on Yunnan. We will need to do that rd by rd or if I roll bad kill the Bmbrs otherwise keep them.
For starters anyway

This is JPNs weakness. Being struck by multiple attacks at once.

The Soviets can have that problem as well.

Edit 2
And the reich

Trout

@beelee For the Allied disaster, it was magnificent dice for the Axis. 16 hits first round, then 10 in second round on top of the three AA kills.

Trout

@beelee Well for Yunnan, I did it in Edit Mode so see attached. I rolled very good first round but you rolled even better. You got 27 hits first round!! So you will most likely win. Anywho, see attached so you can decide what to do as I rolled good second round for 16 hits.

Trout

@beelee I don't see that SSR is strong. I see them holding on only because of my good Brit friends down in ME. Nice that USA has Carolines but Japan's income too strong for me to be able to follow that up much. If Yunnan attack had gone well, maybe?? Since that would have kept your ground-based from attacking Yank navy in the event I start venturing towards DEI. I have heard rumor that most Allied wins for Captain are because he knows how to attack Germans with US/UK forces with lethality. I have yet to figure that out but I can see marginal improvements in my approach to it.

Learning alot from you about how to ensure Rome doesn't fall before the Takeover or even afterwards.

beelee

@trout

Good Evening

Kill the Bmbrs. Keep the Elite to the very end.

I will look at what happened now Sounds like some tough dice for Allies so far

oh ? I hadn't heard that. I should probably go through his game reports again. There are a couple that are very detailed.

Edit
Fwiw this was what happened when I did Allies. I didn't do the Yunnan attack. I can't remember why now

EXP Game 5 Trout J 15test.tsvg

Edit 2
Oh Dude ! You missed 3 Ftrs in S Italy ! Or was that the 3 that got shot down I guess ? It also looks as if I don't have the Flak Tower targeting the AF Bmbrs. I have that on the list to fix.

Yea your 2nd rd was brutal on the 3's. 2 out of 12. Thought you might try and mop up with UK but sinking the surface ships a good kill for you too.

Edit 3
Wow I rolled shitty in Carolines 1st rd. 56 TUV hit lol

Edit 4
I forgot to roll for the Flak in my test lol. Yea, we will want to bring some fodder planes when attacking FlakTwr with an AF.

It can be really brutal on the Bmbrs.

Trout

@beelee Yikes! 17 hits for Japanese in the second round. A total wipeout. I concede. But a question for you. Triple A is showing that the Allies have an overwhelming number of TUV (I assume Tactical Unit Value??) in their favor. But that can't be right by just looking at the map. USA got wiped out in the Med, UK got wiped out in India, USA sustained some losses at Carolines. There are only four territories with high Allied value (SZ's 33 & 95, UK, and Belarus) at the moment. I believe there may be something not calculating correctly for TUV or Units. I will ask Agent 007 from the UK to investigate but something doesn't look right.

If I am wrong about this, I am willing to continue the fight. But it sure doesn't pass the eyeball test for me.

Trout

@beelee The three F's were the Flak Tower kills. I couldn't figure out how else to do it. Yes, dice were not kind to me this round. I would not have done Yunnan if Italy had gone according to plan. It was too much of a coin flip for my liking, I was content with pulling your stack away from the Soviet border.

Trout

@beelee If things had gone according to plan, I was going to have UK go after Northern Italy to shield S. Italy from counterattack which then would have allowed my navy to get back to SZ 91.

beelee

@trout

Yea it's Total Unit Value and is not 100% accurate. It counts bases and I think both sides count Changer. There's some other things that are off on it as well.

Usually Allies will have a TUV and Unit lead. Anything below 500 TUV and under 100 Units, usually is favoring the Axis. 1000 TUV Allies are usually in good shape.

Hold off on capitulation. Let me look at it first. You may not be as bad off as you think

yes that's what I did in the test. Forgetting the FlakTwr probably wouldn't have had a S Italy Victory anyway, unless UK hit it.
I don't think it could hit N Italy as well though, so reich would be able to counterattack

beelee

@trout

Yea a couple tough defeats, especially losing your Air in Burma, probably shoulda retreated at that point but I understand why you didn't

You still in good position economically, unit wise and TUV. I think you still have a chance. A fairly good one actually

Well we can contine
or
switch sides and continue
or
you can surrender.

One of the things I like about triplea, is it doesn't really have a time constraint. You can just leave the board setup and play as long as you'd like

Anyway, let me know what you'd like todo

Edit
Soviets only have 70 fewer units than the reich. They have UK defending Caucasus. I thought they might reinforce Bryansk, but G has to basically sacrifice 1st ss Pnzr if they attack and hope that TD doesn't get lucky with a couple hits.

Tanks to Yakust should stalemate that line. Send 1st Corps in to China.

Anyway, you have options

Edit 2
UK in good position to strike at W EUR. 5 Paras and 4 LCVs. G can block but US B-29 can easily remove it unless they go big

Trout

@beelee I choose surrender. A final comment on the Italy attack. I actually wasn't tracking the Flak Tower when I made the decision to attack but saw it before I started. But I decided to go ahead because I was starting to worry about USSR's ability to hold out since Japan was now in the mix against them also. And generally if it's Turn 15 and the Allies don't have a foothold somewhere on the continent combined with Japan still having DEI, Philippines, and the UK southeast Asia territories firmly in control .... I have never seen that go well for Allies. So I decided to get aggressive and attack S. Italy along with Carolines and then see where things stood. Well, and then Turn 15 did not go so well for Eisenhower

beelee

@trout

OK

I believe it's my turn for the game report. Take me a couple days to get next update out and then we can battle again if you want

We can use the Tournament rules if you want to practice for Denmark
