Game 1 Alexander vs. JohnnyCat G40 EXP
-
@johnnycat Yeah, it's very unforgiving, compaired to the original version.
It's hard to come back from not taking France in G1, in my friend group we always roll Paris first so that we don't have to reset the whole game board
(FYI I wasn't sure your target - London or Leningrad hence the USSR destroyer)
-
@Alexander I have been playing with guys in Europe getting me ready for the tourneys this fall.
And they ALWAYS do Sea Lion if the UK is left "undefended" like you had it. So I just wanted to try it for fun. I didn't realize that 1 para could close the fleet.
Anyway the game we were doing was far better and I had the quick capture of UK been successful I would have suggested we go back to G3 and this time NOT buy the boats.
BTW that move to let Italy take Paris is a key strategy that I rather like to use often.
-
Like I said, I want to learn as much as I can before the tourneys so little tricks like that are great to learn so thanks for that. I had no idea of that trick with the 1 para. And we cannot do a northern UK version either now.
So what you want to do ? Start a new game or let me redo G3 with either a sealion operation that doesn't get stumped by a 1-inf move or redo G3 with the original long game in mind ?
-
@johnnycat I'd like to keep the current game, or at least an "alternate history" of it as I'll be leaving in about a week and won't have a computer while gone - so not much point starting a new one now.
Here's the other move that I was considering - I think London should hold with the Home Defense rules, and the fact you'll need to divert much of the air force to destroy the navy (in the chance that I scramble based on your proposed combat).

Also, as a heads up - I could also have blocked Sea Lion by sacrificing the Royal Navy by blocking SZ112 but that would not be an honurable way to use a battleship
-
@alexander
Ok good pointsI suggest I redo German 2 (take 2) and proceed with sea lion but this time not letting one inf guy block the entire fleet, lol
Then we can test your theory because I feel uk will fall easy given the current diversion of too many forces to India. We just see who is correct. All fun.
Then we redo a regular game from German turn 2 (take 3) and we take our time for weeks and maybe months. Doing a long game.
How you think?
-
A "fixed" Turn 2 for Germany. Let's see what you can do to defend the UK?

@JohnnyCat FYI I'm having some IT errors, may be a day or two here...
-
-
Mixed it up a bit, may be a bit harder as more planes will be needed in the sea battle
-
@Alexander
Just to be clear - I really did NOT want to disrupt our fine game - it's just that for the tournaments I felt I needed to work out these Sea Lion options just to learn.Whether it works or not I still propose we continue that game we had, or start over if you want, at G2 in order to play out a "proper" game that lasts well into turns 12-18....
So thank you for accommodating me on this.
Anzac up
-
@JohnnyCat All good, I'm easy going. FYI I've only got 2-3 days before I take a few weeks off...but I'll be back after.

You can scramble one frenchie plane in Scotland
and 3 planes in UK on the fleet.I would assume no but do you want your eggs scrambled this morning or not? Or just scrambled on one zone?
-
@JohnnyCat Hum, maybe a UK destroyer would have been wise...
No scramble
-
Nothing unexpected. A bunch of Nazis are now enjoying Scotland and I still don't know if operation Sea Lion can work but next turn might give it a try.

PS. why are there HUGE long numbers in front of your game save files? I truncated them to save some space but if you need them back no problem..
Have a great weekend. I should be able to fit in some turns - please check PM
-
@JohnnyCat Yeah, I've also been wondering why they have been added when downloading the game - wasn't sure if that was intentional but I can try to delete them off. I'll be a couple weeks before I'm back to play this next turn
-
@Alexander ok. enjoy your vacation.
-
@JohnnyCat USSR is making bank!
