General Joe vs. SuperDoc

[DocD]

General Joe and his cronies Ursa roll and Nun Roll have attacked the Avalon Hill headquarters in order to take over the Axis and Allies World!!

After easily defeating AH security guards and police, they make their way to the main conference room.

Nun Roll kicks in the door to the conference room.

Seated at the head of the conference table, surrounded by AH staffers, Moderators, and AH secret service, Larry Harris, the Creator nervously awaits General Joe.

In walks Joe. "You are the one they call Creator?"

"I am." Mr. Harris nervously states.

General Joe notices the ole AH insignia, a panther crushing a tank. "I see you are practiced in worshipping things that bite....good."

"Rise before Joe."

Mr. Harris slowly looks around, then stands.

"No, kneel before Joe."

Mr. Harris again shakenly looks about the room. He slowly approaches Joe then drops to the floor on his knees.

"You are not the creator." Gasps erupt about the room!
"No one who has created so much could possibly kneel so quickly."

Suddenly, out from behind an AH secret service agent, walks Mr. Larry Harris.
"I'm the man they are protecting. I am the Creator." "I will kneel before you if it will save Axis and Allies games."

"It will, starting with your own."

Mr. Harris slowly walks up to Joe. "What I do now, I do for the sake of the gamers of the world." "But there is one man here on Earth who will never kneel before you."

"Who is this imbecile?" Joe snickeringly asks. "Where is he?"

"I wish I knew." The creator saddenly says.

He then kneels before Joe. "Oh toe."

"That's Joe."

[DocD]

An urgent message from the Creator is broadcast around the world.

The Creator makes his somber speech.

"This is your game creator. On behalf of my country and in the name of the leaders of the A&A world, with whom I have today consulted, I hereby abdicate all authority and control over the Axis and Allies game to General Joe."
"Only by strict compliance, with all his directions, will the games of innocent millions be spared."

"Docd!! Can you hear me?!!" "Docd where.....!!"

General Joe grabs the microphone. "Who is this Docd??!!" he yells.

"You will find out General, and when you do..."

"Come to me Docd, if you dare!!" "I defy you!!" "Come!! Come and kneel before Joe!!!" "JOE!!!"

[series]

...................................wow

[cousin_joe]

LOL! :D

Funny stuff, DocD :) Almost as funny as the Smackdown I'm gonna lay on your Candy Ass!!! :D

[DocD]

Alright...Joe has finally "found" the time to play me a game of AARE.

Sorry AH fight fans, but Joe wanted to hide this one, so he placed it on the AAMC site.
But hey, don't worry, DocD will keep you posted on every boot to butt blow.

Here goes.....wish me luck!!! :D

[cousin_joe]

cousin_joe: "Hey Doc, I'm going to be on vacation until July 10th. I guess that means I'll have to kick your @ss when I get back. I hope that's okay with you?"

DocD: "Yes, that's okay with me"

:D ;) :p

[cousin_joe]

Okay Dr. Doomed... let's get this show on the road.
Shall we play with 3.1 Rules (including Banzai change)?
I am happy to play on Mapview here with RichyJ's Roller. I will request a game number and will proceed to kick your ass shortly thereafter.:)
By the way, don't expect to get a back-door victory like you did against pagan ;) This is gonna be a true lesson in Butt-Whooping 101, with me as the teacher and you as the student! Are you ready to get your butt whooped? :eek:

P.S. I'll need your e-mail address of choice before being able to get the game number. Just PM or e-mail it to me.

[DocD]

Hey Cj.

I didn't expect to see you back here. Guess you decided to take your butt whipping like a man. Good....Hey the game we got set up on the AAMC site is fine for me. I will keep all informed, don't worry. Let's do 3.1 and drop my two german inf into Libya.
Let's get it on!!!

[RuHurt]

This could get bloody... Good! :D

[kerberos]

This could get bloody... Good! :D
Bloody is good! :D

[cousin_joe]

Hey Doc, mind if we just use Mapview?

Playing Enhanced on ABattlemap just doesn't do it justice, not to mention it's a lot more text :rolleyes: Also we can get some nice pics up of me kicking your @ss :)

We'll play 3.1, with the Banzai and proposed Nonagression change. I'll need your e-mail though.

[DocD]

Just PM'd you.

I hate making house calls, but for this prescription of Whip-A, I don't mind!!

Let's get it on!!

[cousin_joe]

Well, the house call was just a clever ploy to get you over here, so I can beat the living daylights out of you...

Knock, Knock
From behind the closed door: "Who is it?"
"Hi, it's me, Doctor D. You asked me to make a house call?"
"Oh, yeah. Sure, come on in"
Doctor D opens the door and walks in.

WHAM!!! THUD!!!

Doctor D falls to the floor unconsciousness, drool running from his mouth.
Cousin_joe appears from behind the door, holding a steel chair.
"That'll teach ya!!!" :D

[cousin_joe]

Ouch!!! Russia selects Russian Rail but meets disaster on R1 when German forces manage to destroy half her air force. Stalin starts to contemplate whether he should take the Allies up on their offer for Lend Lease :)

[cousin_joe]

Wow, looks like DocD is pulling an Admiral Karl Docnitz and thinking a heavy U-boat strategy can win the Atlantic. I'm sort of torn here... RN+2DD+IC vs. CG+3DD

http://img326.imageshack.us/img326/5513/image12kx.png (http://www.imageshack.us)

[cousin_joe]

UK1
-UK retakes Egy
-places a Colonial Garrison in Australia
-Purchases 3DD

You want a Battle of the Atlantic?!?!? :mad: I'll give you a Battle of the Atlantic!!! :mad:

[DocD]

I see that Russian Rail will be a major pain. I wonder if you have boosted this one too far Cj....hummmm...interesting to say the least.

I wanted to go AC for Germany, but what the hell....let's see what a crap load of Wolfpacks can do.

Anyway, I see you have no intention of lying down and taking your whipping like the child you are. No problemo....I guess I will just have to beat you down brother! :)

[cousin_joe]

Germany has just finished G2 and we have a lot of naval action in this one. First off in the Pacific, Admiral Yamamoto decided to send his troops back into Pearl Harbor to find the prized US Carriers. Though successful, this gave time for American Naval Forces to strike back, scoring a major victory against the Japanese Imperial Navy. Destroyers and Trannies are being built in massive numbers to continue the fight.

[cousin_joe]

Meanwhile on the Eastern Front, the German U-boats are wreaking major havoc on Allied convoys. However, by devoting so much income to the Atlantic, Hitler has left his ground forces undersupplied, resulting in heavy losses on the Eastern Front. Meanwhile, the Western Allies discuss whether they should attempt an early D-Day assault. Churchill is in favor, but Roosevelt feels they should wait.

[pagan]

I need a more global scale map & some basic time frame break downs

gimmee...gimmee...

I see US going for CB.

I see that Japan lost a BB...unfortunate since a 4 yamato force can handle a double allied fleet...in saying this Japan needs to build HEAVY on navy or be outmaneuvered, US needs 1 round of time for an IC to placement to naval consolidation

strategic wise, japan (in this situation) needs to get +1VC. The loss of the Philippines will be irreversible. The loss of any 4ipc isle will be irreversible.

D-Day brings up a question that may need clarification....
---let's consider that it is now US turn with the above picture
---we shall say that UK called d-day and didn't move any units
---lets say that UK also has CB
---ger-ss is in sz 7
---US moves what exactly into sz7?

------UK-BB + UK-DD cannot bombard W.E. because the sz7 is not cleared at the start of US turn ; they cannot be moved in either combat or non-combat phase [nothing written_ only an assumption]
-----US attacks sz7 with EVERYTHING AVAILABLE: 1US-TN + 1UK-TN + 1US-FTR

OR

------UK-BB + UK-DD cannot bombard W.E. because the sz7 is not cleared at the start of US turn ;
---------------they can move with fleet in combat phase (soak up hits) [not as written]
---------------they can move with fleet in non-combat phase [not as written]
-----US attacks sz7 with EVERYTHING AVAILABLE: 1US-TN + 1UK-TN + 1US-FTR

_____d-day TNs left all alone without UK support ? (forces uk to attack sz7 on their turn to consolidate ? )

_____
.

[DocD]

Hey CJ, why don't you answer pagan's question. I would like to see if your answer agrees with my own.

[DocD]

So CJ, I'm glad to see you had a "nice" roll with the dice that UK turn. Serves you right. If only the US and Russia could roll as bad.

Anyway fight fans, the Allies have pulled the ole "king of the Seas" strategy out of the hat. Japan took a nasty hit on its Pearl Habor task force on US1, and wether CJ agrees or not....he got damn good rolls. Needless to say, Japan will have to fight this one with great lost of life. My Kamikazees are drinking their ceremonial tea as we speak.

Germany plans alittle blood letting of its own. Let's just say, the oceans shall roll red with their blood!!!!.......Aaaauuurrrgggghhhh!!!!!!

"-On the US turn, the US player uses your eligible units in his combat and non-combat moves together with his own units. UK units can only be involved in combat in WEur proper. The one exception is loaded TRNs which can be involved in combat in SZ 7 as part of the amphibious assault. UK DDs and BBs can bombard WEur but only if SZ 7 was empty at the start of the US turn."

-The UK DD and BB can only be used to attack WEur itself (ie. via bombardment), not SZ 7. Therefore, they cannot be used in combat in SZ 7 to soak up hits.
-There is nothing to state the UK DD and BB cannot be moved in NCM. If you take the SZ on Combat Movement, you may move the DD and BB in afterwards on NCM.

-Alternately, the option I was considering was going in with 1 or 2 DDs + AIR on UK's turn to clear, then have 1-2 DDs + BB for bombard

Hope this answers your questions. I think it's fairly clear, but any suggested changes to the wording would be appreciated. Maybe sometimes I try to be too efficient in the number of words I use for an explanation. :)

[pagan]

i just wanted the 'soak-up-hits' thing clarified

And i think the order of explanation needs to be a bit more linear as well...

"-On the US turn, the US player uses your eligible units in his combat and non-combat moves together with his own units. UK units can only be involved in combat in WEur proper. The one exception is loaded TRNs which can be involved in combat in SZ 7 as part of the amphibious assault. UK DDs and BBs can bombard WEur but only if SZ 7 was empty at the start of the US turn."

"-On the US turn, the US player uses your eligible units in his combat and non-combat moves together with his own units. UK units can only be involved in combat in WEur proper.
--UK naval forces may not be used in conjunction with naval combat in SZ 7.
--UK DDs and BBs can bombard WEur but only if SZ 7 was empty at the start of the US turn.
--The one exception is loaded TRNs which can be involved in combat in SZ 7 as part of the amphibious assault. "

[DocD]

Currently awaiting to here from CJ. I proposed his immediate and unconditional surrender......it would appear as though he doesn't want any more of this beating I'm giving him.

[pagan]

DocD ... put out some summary pictures so we can watch the game.

I tried to put out as many large scale pictures of each critical round to allow interested parties a way to 'view-the action', so to speak, in my games

I am quite interested in watching you guys play, but i need some pictures to look at in series to get a 'feel-for-the-action'

"I had hoped that the land of Japan and the Communist nation of the Soviet Union could always and peacefully co-exist.

Unfortunately, the leader of the USSR has thought otherwise. A barbaric and cowardly attack by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics upon a peace-keeping force of Japanese soldiers in Persia cannot and will not be tolerated.

It deeply saddens me to say that a state of WAR now exist between the Empire of Japan and the Soviet Union. This war will be actively and aggressively pursued until the Soviet Union is totally and completely destroyed.

We now ask for and will give total cooperation to our ally, the great country of Germany in this struggle.

Banzai!!"

"This is the Axis radio report. German onslaught was brought to a halt outside Stalingrad by fierce Russian hordes. Paulus bypasses it and pushes into Moscow western suburbs. German supply lines very long. Sub production up as convoy raids set to resume. Japanese Emperor states Soviets must surrender or face total and complete annihilation.

[axis_roll]

Allies have it under control, IMHO

I know how I would handle this :)

I might add that's a sneaky trick with Panzerblitz... hitting karelia or belorussia or ukraine (whatever is needed to be attack in combat) and then moving non-combatively into West Russia.

Gives the tanks a range of 3... sneaky and deceptive.

Looks like a good game in progress

[DocD]

Yes roll, do tell....how would you handle this....I'm dying to know. :)

[axis_roll]

Yes roll, do tell....how would you handle this....I'm dying to know. :)
I wouldn't want to sway your game by saying one thing or another.

CJ will handle it... I have confidence in the creators abilities.

I will say that the axis looks very strong here.

[DocD]

Thanks roll. I was only kidding btw.

CJ is a very good player, I can't take anything for granted with him.
I'm sure he has something planned out for my German Juggernaut.

Yes, PB is a very good NA as you know of course. It isn't invincible, but it can definitely put teeth in a German monster's bite. I'm lucky too that there will be no Russian Winter for the seeable future.

I also advise going to my web page with the Walkthrough of how to play/use the program. Very simple to use, but a bit long-winded to write.
http://www.geocities.com/aa_4online/

The game above is actually AARe Axis & Allies Revised Enhanced. AAR = the new A&A game by avalonhill.... the Enhanced part is a variant.

MapView is a fully functional shareware. It doesnt have a time limit. Try it out, and if you like it, then register it. Too many of us take the program for granted and never register it (TEN bucks...that's it), give some luv to MotC guys!
