Because of the Diplomacy games I've played I'm really paranoid of drawing one country though for the sake of openness I'd rather make it random.

New to A&A though but I think I can pick it up quickly. I hope.

[DiplomatDC]

I'm really paranoid of drawing one country [...]

It was Germany. Oh well :/ Good luck guys!

[DiplomatDC]

So I should keep going, right?

think so, unless you're retreating or either of us runs out of units

[DiplomatDC]

Are we having a visual map for this?

[DiplomatDC]

Well, I tried reading the rules and strategy tips. Roughly it is Buy tech-------> Buy Units ------> Combat -----> Non-Combat Moves -----> Income and place units, right?
What I'm not too sure now is about what units I have in my territories to work with, can you give me a rundown on that?

[DiplomatDC]

Sorry for the late reply, I'll try to make sense of what's going on and make moves later tonight. If Aronis wants to make additional moves with his planes and whatnot I'll let him actually.

[DiplomatDC]

Buy 1 transport, 7 infrantry and 2 tanks

[DiplomatDC]

Not doing it yet but what happens when I invade Karelia from East Europe?

[DiplomatDC]

Eastern Europe invades Karelia:
2 Infantry
1 Tank
1 Fighter

dice removed by mod

[DiplomatDC]

Can ships directly attack the armies? Must it be through amphibious?

Retreat to Eastern Europe,

Attack Belorussia to Karelia:
3 Infantry

dice removed by mod

[DiplomatDC]

Retreat,

invade from Norway;
3 Infantry
1 Fighter

dice removed by mod

[DiplomatDC]

dice removed by mod

[DiplomatDC]

Any advice from here, my Japanese mate? Get Archangel? Get the southern European fleets off?

[DiplomatDC]

Sorry ><
Alright, so anyway, taking anything else isn't viable, West Russia's going to be lost either way so:

End Combat Move

Combat in Karelia:
8 Infantry:

Original Roll String: 8d6

8 6-Sided Dice: (3, 2, 5, 2, 6, 4, 1, 1) = 24

1 Tank:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

2 Fighters:

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 2) = 8

3 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3, 4) = 8

1 Fighter

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[DiplomatDC]

3 hits landed for Germany, 1 for Russia. And that air support... Right. Crap.

7 Infantry:

Original Roll String: 7d6

7 6-Sided Dice: (5, 4, 5, 6, 2, 4, 3) = 29

1 Tank:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 Fighter:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Russian Fighter:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[DiplomatDC]

Karelia has been taken.

Non-Combat Moves (are they all valid?)

Use Transport in SZ 14 to move 1 Infantry and 1 Artillery from Southern Europe to Libya
Move 1 Infantry and 1 Artillery from Algeria to Libya
Move 2 Infantry from Ukraine to Belorussia
Move everything in Balkans to Ukraine
Move 1 Infantry from Southern Europe to Western Europe
Move 1 Tank from Southern Europe to Ukraine
Move 1 Fighter from Western Europe to Karelia
Move 1 Tank and 1 Artillery from West Russia to Belorussia (since they can't take both at once and to save those 2 units)
Use Transport in SZ 5 to move 2 Infantry to Norway
Move 1 Infantry from Germany to Eastern Europe
Move 1 Bomber, 2 Tanks from Germany to Karelia
Move 1 Fighter from Germany to Belorussia

End Non-Combat Move

(any mistakes or stuff I can't do, please tell me)
Place 1 Transport in SZ14, 2 Tanks in Germany, 3 Infantry in Germany and 4 Infantry in Southern Europe
Collect IPUs and end turn

[DiplomatDC]

My bad, air units can't land in newly captured territories, fixing it later

[DiplomatDC]

3 hits landed for Germany, 1 for Russia. And that air support... Right. Crap.

7 Infantry:
1 Tank:
1 Fighter:

Russian Fighter:

1 fighter? I thought there were two.

My bad once more, I think it shouldn't matter since the extra roll wouldn't have affected the results.

Use Transport in SZ 5 to move 2 Infantry to Norway

2 infantry from where? I assume Germany, but I just want to make sure.

Yes, Germany



Revised Non-Combat Moves:

Use Transport in SZ 14 to move 1 Infantry and 1 Artillery from Southern Europe to Libya
Move 1 Infantry and 1 Artillery from Algeria to Libya
Move 2 Infantry from Ukraine to Belorussia
Move everything in Balkans to Ukraine
Move 1 Infantry from Southern Europe to Western Europe
Move 1 Tank from Southern Europe to Ukraine
Move 1 Fighter from Western Europe to Belorussia
Move 1 Tank and 1 Artillery from West Russia to Belorussia (since they can't take both at once and to save those 2 units)
Use Transport in SZ 5 to move 2 Infantry to Norway
Move 1 Infantry from Germany to Eastern Europe
Move 2 Tanks from Germany to Karelia
Move 1 Fighter, 1 Bomber from Germany to Belorussia

Move 2 Fighters from Karelia to Belorussia

End Non-Combat Move

Place 1 Transport in SZ14, 2 Tanks in Germany, 3 Infantry in Germany and 4 Infantry in Southern Europe
Collect IPUs and end turn

[DiplomatDC]

Could have bombed that right? Though there's the possibility of return fire, which was why I think I didn't

[DiplomatDC]

Inexperience kills. I heard Germany was hard to play but still, whoops

Yeah remove the transports

[DiplomatDC]

Got it DeathNote. Supply enough infantry before buying anything else too.
Should I open up the African front?

[DiplomatDC]

BTW Diplo, I will give you my two cents again once it is your turn in case you were wondering why I didn't respond.

Don't worry, I understand.

One more generic question: A strategic bombing (to remove IPCs) on the UK islands only subjects me to AA fire, but if I'm combating your units there I get subject to defense rolls from all its units, right?

[DiplomatDC]

My bad. I'll take note. Generally online 12mn-4am GMT if you want a quick convo, but I won't always be checking this site.

I'll try to retake Norway then

I should have gotten 40 IPUs iirc from last turn (had Norway and W.Russia)

Proposing builds as probably 13 infantry

Combats, maybe thinking:

Invade Norway via amphibious assault with 2 armies in Germany, the fleets in SZ 5 and 1 army, 1 tank from Karelia

Use 2 Ukrainian fighters + 2 Belorussia fighters to take down the SZ 14 fleets (landing probably in S.Europe if allowed)

Take Archangel with 1 army + 1 fighter from Belorussia

Libyan units to take over Anglo-Egypt, then blitz the tank to French Africa (or another place? Tell me)

[DiplomatDC]

Wouldn't the naval units in an amphibious assault aid by taking off some units down? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[DiplomatDC]

Buids as probably 13 infantry

Combats Proposal II

Invade Norway via amphibious assault with 2 armies in Germany, and 2 armies, 1 tank from Karelia

Use 2 Ukrainian fighters + 2 Belorussia fighters to take down the SZ 14 fleets (landing probably in S.Europe if allowed)

Take Archangel with 2 armies + 1 fighter from Belorussia

Libyan units to take over Anglo-Egypt, then blitz the tank to French Africa

So I leave the tanks there for non-combat I suppose? Karelia is pretty unguarded now which should be too much of a problem?

About the bomber, I am not sure whether I should risk it in an bombing raid or support it in another combat

[DiplomatDC]

Building 13 Infantry + 1 Artillery

Combats

Invade Norway via amphibious assault with 2 armies in Germany, and 2 armies, 1 tank from Karelia

Use 2 Ukrainian fighters + 2 Belorussia fighters + 1 Belorussia bomber to take down the SZ 14 fleets (landing probably in S.Europe if allowed)

Take Archangel with 2 armies (From Karelia, typoed there) + 2 fighters from Belorussia

Libyan units to take over Anglo-Egypt, then blitz the tank to French Africa.

Conducting combat shortly.

[DiplomatDC]

Battle in Norway:

German Infantries:

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 3, 6, 6) = 18

German Tanks:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

British Infantry (support) + Artillery (both hit on a 2):

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 2) = 5

British Tanks:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[DiplomatDC]

<3 them rolls. 2 Infantries as casualties.

Shoulda used them planes for offense, damn. Sorry about that. Odds are against me now so retreat all units to Karelia.

Battle in SZ 14:

German Fighters:

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 1, 1, 6) = 11

German Bomber:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Russian Battleship:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[DiplomatDC]

Battleship down. 1 Fighter causalty. The fighter from Belorussia goes to Balkans, the others go to Germany. Bomber goes to Belorussia.

[DiplomatDC]

Archangel combat:
German Infantry:

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 2) = 7

German Fighters:

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 3) = 6

Russian Infantry:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[DiplomatDC]

Archangel taken over. Fighters to Belorussia.

Thereby ends combat.

Non-combat I'm thinking moving Ukraine units to Belorussia and Balkans, while moving Belorussia units to reinforce Karelia. Ukraine's really a lost cause anyway. Also Germany units + S.Europe units to W.Europe?

[DiplomatDC]

Land that fighter in S.Europe.

Finishing Norway combat:

2 infantry (Germany):

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 6) = 11

1 infantry (Germany):

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

1 artillery, 1 infantry (UK):

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3) = 9

1 tank (UK):

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[DiplomatDC]

If you don't mind, that was a typo, the second string was for the tank. Presumably infantry casualty for the UK, I take a casualty as well

1 infantry (Germany)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

1 tank (Germany)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

1 artillery (UK)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

1 tank (UK)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[DiplomatDC]

Tank vs Tank?
Germany

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

UK

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[DiplomatDC]

Annnd Norway is deserted. Oh well.
Non-combats to come a while later

[DiplomatDC]

Non Combat Proposal

From Ukraine:
Move 1 infantry to Balkans, 1 infantry to Belorussia, 1 infantry stays in Ukraine, all others to E.Europe

From Southern Europe:
All units to W.Europe

From Germany:
Move 1 infantry, 1 tank to W.Europe

Sound good?

[DiplomatDC]

I'm more worried about tank blitzes if I leave Ukriane completely empty, then again, not exactly a good move for the Russian either. I'll move the last infantry to E.Europe then? (I'll check in 7 hours to await reply and confirm)

[DiplomatDC]

Confirming I'm moving my army to E.Europe.

[DiplomatDC]

Place all my units in Germany, I suppose? DN will that be alright?

[DiplomatDC]

Yes.

Artillery + 9 Infantry in Germany, the rest in S.Europe
