EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@trout oKdoki The emperor has sent some wonderful new Geisha Girls to the Philippines.
So do you send out your 2 fighter planes to greet these elegant ladies?
By the way: @beelee and @trout what do you think of us preparing a sort of obvious scramble decisions as defaults and no need to ask? Or do you do that already?
I could see the opening German attack being a no brainer as well as things like this Philippines gig. Like why would you EVER send out two fighters to attack 2 BB, a cruiser and other stuff? Or is there some tricky thing I do not know?
Anyway gotta get your order Sir?
-
yea usually when it's obvious one will just roll the battle and if for some reason that wasn't the decision, you reroll the battle by hand.
Usually G1 battle that may need orders is 111 but if 110 goes light it may as well. The destruction of German Air early game can have a signifigant impact, as that is one of Germany's best assets.
Usually one doesn't want to give UK the option to do it, although sometimes 111 will happen. Other strats don't attack 111 1st rd so there is some variance, which makes it fun of course
All of that is a long winded way of saying, if it seems obvious, roll on through and redo with dice roller if it wasn't what your opponent wanted to do
-
@beelee OK cool. So in my case what is the "obvious?" I would assume no scramble but I dunno.
-
yea most likely he won't but I would wait and ask as he could scramble 1 Ftr just to negate the Bombard.
He'll probably lose anyway but when in doubt I'd just ask and wait.
If you're familiar having played multiple games with your opponent it becomes easier to decide
-
@johnnycat No scramble- you guys were correct. Filipinos prefer that Congee to scrambled eggs. I love 99% of foreign food but congee and Japanese natto - no go forever for this dude

Good Morning Mates; quick QUESTION.
I took some island and have to choose who paid the ULTIMATE PRICE
Choice between artillery and inf sucker
If I choose to keep the infantry and can make one of those fortifications that mean my inf defends like a tank...
But the artillery is more pricey in value so the QUESTION IS: can the art Las make one of those FORTS?
I'll keep doing my turn and I will get rid of the inf - but please let me change to saving the ART if artillery can also make those forts.
QUESTION 2:
I need to know if the planes on carriers next to zone 6 can scramble to intercept the Americans that will surely drive over to zone 6 to try and take that zone. Does this make sense?
In the photo : Can the planes in zone 19 intercept any shenanigans taking place in zone 6?
"Shenanigans" refers to secret, dishonest, or tricky activities, as well as high-spirited mischief, playful pranks, or silliness. Originating in the mid-19th century, this informal term often describes behavior that is inconvenient, sneaky, or questionable rather than truly dangerous
-
No only regular Inf can make Forts. Elites can't or any other Unit.
I usually keep the Inf for that reason. Obviously it depends on the situation but generally that's what I do.
Edit
No the Ftrs in 19 would only defend in 19 SZ -
@beelee ok but that makes so sense from a logical point of view.
Just look at the UK for supporting evidence: according to what I have read any attack in zone 109 for example, can be intercepted with TWO groups of 3 fighter planes (London and Scotland) because the rules say "adjacent zones"
So I just want to be sure about this cause it's hugely important
So is there a paragraph that makes this interceptor stuff super clear? I guess I am a stickler for details in this case so I found the actual rules to be a little vague. Anyway thanks I will change the art to fort..
-
yes both bases can scramble to 109. As long as they have Planes of course.
That is an OOB rule so that's where you'd look for it's explanation.
Remember, Any AB can be upgraded so it can scramble 4. That is a HRE rule.
-
This is truly an amazing game. The basic Axis and Allies games are somewhat boring and feel like checkers whereas this igame feels like GO or 3D Chess. I LOVE IT
As far as game notes go: So far this seems like SOP. I would not be surprised if Japan taking the Philippines and some Money Islands is SOP like Germany taking France turn 1.
-
Yes once JPN and USA are at War, JPN will usually want to take out the PHIs as soon as possible. Singapore should go next.
At least that's how I rate them. There are other strategies one could use where that might not be the case though

Mafia needs WAY MORE cash - next time I wonder if we need play with a bid...

@johnnycat Yeah, well. That's why that move which UK did is a popular gambit. You can see quite a few articles on the A&A forum discussing the merits of the "Taranto Raid" which is what it's called. Not everyone does it but the big benefit is that it really sets Italy back alot in the first few turns. The negative is it wipes out alot of expensive UK hardware also and takes the Bomber out of the UK where it's useful for many things in the North Atlantic. Italy is always the weak Axis sister compared to Japan & Germany. It's possible for Italy to recover from it but it usually needs G to help a bit with it by building U-Boats in SZ 93 and sending air & ground units to the Med area also. Frankly that is pretty close to how history played out in the real WW2 anyway.

Hi Cat
JPN has to DOW on UK to be able to attack the Dutch. Page 8 OOB rule https://www.hasbro.com/common/documents/60D52426B94D40B98A9E78EE4DD8BF94/6B7BC7B257E049558181A7D71B822DCF.pdf
