War Phase - Turn 1 // Rovsea

Highlights:
(None)

It's still Rovsea's turn.

 

[barkardes]

I thought I would be fighting against tanks not paratroopers .It would take 5 tanks to kill a tank hunter and it could heal up every turn.

Great job at taking my IC.If you don't have more reinceforments,I'm starting my counter-attack.I can hold out with my existing units.But I'm not sure if I can win.We will see .

 

[Rovsea]

End Turn.

 

[ThunderHawk3]

Oh, it's my turn.
The following swap places:
00.13, 00.14
01.14, 01.13
02.15, 02.14

Then 02.16 moves to 03.14.
03.16 moves to 03.15.
03.15 moves to 02.16.
04.16 moves to 03.16.
04.15 moves to 04.16.
03.14 moves to 04.15.

All engineers lay minefields.
End turn.

I'll post the map with my move in a second.

It's your turn @barkardes

 

[Rovsea]

@ThunderHawk3 I salute you, sir. There was zero reason to do that, but I salute you.

 

[ThunderHawk3]

@ThunderHawk3 I salute you, sir. There was zero reason to do that, but I salute you.

There's always a reason to lay more minefields.

 

[barkardes]

Edit:Those orders are wrong.

 

[ThunderHawk3]

@barkardes

It's not possible to receive reinforcements on the first turn of the war phase, and indeed your reinforcements are scheduled for arrival in later turns. I suggest you revise your move.

Also, there is no enemy unit at 14.14. I assume you mean 15.14.

 

[barkardes]

But you said that I could get reinceforcements if it makes the right turn.Blitzkrieg makes the turn 2 for me and everybody can get infantry after turn 2.Did I misunderstood what you said?If so,I will be reordering

 

[ThunderHawk3]

It's Turn 1 for everyone. You can deploy reinforcements after using a blitzkrieg token, but it doesn't let you deploy reinforcements that are due in a later turn. I thought I made this clear when we communicated by PM but apparently I didn't; everyone else should be aware of this too.

For example, if reinforcements are due in Turn 3, then they can only be deployed War Phase - Turn 3. I post what turn it is beneath the map every single time I post a map; blitzkrieg tokens don't change this turn counter even though they give you an extra turn.

 

[barkardes]

Ah ok.Then my orders go like that:
10.13 moves 12.14
15.13 attacks 15.14 and moves 15.14
13.09 moves 13.11
Blitzkrieg!
12.14 moves 14.15,attacks 15.15
15.14 moves 15.15 and comes back to 15.13
13.11 moves 13.13

War Phase - Turn 1 // barkardes

Highlights:
barkardes' elite tank hunters crush Rovsea's paratroopers at 15.14, taking 4 damage in the process.
barkardes' militia at 14.15 overcomes Rovsea's paratroopers at 15.15, taking 2 damage back.

Achievements for barkardes:

(And for Rovsea, before I forget, since apparently he and Gen. Marshall are keeping score

It's still barkardes' turn. (I need an end turn order if you're through.)

 

[Gen. Marshall]

(And for Rovsea, before I forget, since apparently he and Gen. Marshall are keeping score

Oh blimey, I'm not going to get many achievements this game I think. My strategy is just so decidedly mediocre

 

[Rovsea]

Oh blimey, I'm not going to get many achievements this game I think. My strategy is just so decidedly mediocre

I'm still rather proud of that first game, to be honest.

 

[Gen. Marshall]

I'm still rather proud of that first game, to be honest.

As you damn well should be. It's easy to copy a strategy once it's been done, but being the first to blitz over all his neighbours' supply caches is perhaps the greatest achievement so far.

 

[barkardes]

End turn

Hasn't my militia become a veteran?

Militia don't become veterans.
