Game 1 just ended in a surprising and unplanned economic victory for the allies.

This time we switching sides and Cat gets to play The Bad Guys for his first time.

Good luck to all and may the dice gods roll favorably every time.

Trout

@johnnycat Yes, roll favorably for me! Post your G1 sir and may the games begin or whatever those Roman gladiators would say before fighting

heh heh

yea I've been in more than one game where Economic Victory has crept in unexpected. One more thing a person needs to pay attention to when it gets close. Especially as triplea doesn't count the Increased Pacific Islands.

Guy almost needs a General Staff

@trout
I’m pretty sure they said:

HEIL HITLER

Trout

@johnnycat Hey JC. Just a reminder since you have mega skills but are still learning. If you attack Churchill's boats in SZs surrounding UK on G1, let me know so I can make a scramble decision before you start your combat rolls.

JohnnyCat

@trout of course

I’m still considering leaving France alive.

And still considering how to start. I’ll get this turn tonight.

Trout

@johnnycat No worries. If you don't get to it tonight, no biggie. I have had games where I wasn't able to post for several days. I have some other games going right now anyway. I have heard people talk about starting Barb on G1 instead of annihilating France but have never played against somebody who did it. So would be a fun game for me if you did. I have no idea how it turns out. I just know that it has been done by others.

JohnnyCat

@trout

Okidoki, here is me trying to run the Bad Guys. So can your British fighters scramble against my subs? I guess so if you have a destroyer right?

Anyway, there are many scramble options I guess, so what ya gonna do Mr. Church Hill ?

JohnnyCat

@trout OK my first German Turn 1 is complete. And there is not much to say.

Hi Cat

It's helpful if you post a screenshot of the scramble area as well as the save. Then one can make a quick decision with out downloading and uploading the save.

Although sometimes you will want to see what the entire turn did before making a decision also.

JohnnyCat

@beelee ok. I’ll do that. Thanks. that’s actually a great ideal.
