EXP Game 5 barnee vs 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.
-
@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.
-
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 -
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 -
@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

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
-
@beelee For the next game, I would like to play Axis without Type XXI's if that works for you. I am thinking Pizza & I aren't going to make it for qualifying for Denmark this year. So I don't need to go full Tournament Rules. But my thinking is that Captain has decided Type XXI's are a bit overpowered and will never allow them in tourney play, so I would like to wean myself off of them.
I will probably qualify since Captain now gives points for Triple A games but I wouldn't go without Pizza. 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.
-
Yea, I think if the XXI's actually had to move a space to get in and out of the Pen, they might be more playable. They are almost invincible at this point, although crockett did a nice move throwing a blocker in 112 when they attacked 110, which forces the blocker to be removed or they can't get back to their pens.
But yea, i'd say they're overpowered.

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
