I cannot remember what the score was. I think that it was 2-0. If so, it is 3-0 now.

Hadn’t planned to take Belgium, just 1 round to kill most units and then retreat to Champ. But that’s okay. UK could have landed ten troops, built 3 more and 3 trenches. So at least now I get another factory and prevent UK from building on the continent. France can move most units into Champ, including 11 HG. So G can’t counterattack. Got rid of Rus threat in Norway. G is 0-18 tech dice. Really hinders me. Aus has barrage and gas, which will give it great advantage.

Some further thoughts:

I believe you made the correct decision in not rolling for tech immediately on USA 8. Japan really needed Germany as a landing pad for its bombing. Otherwise it was out of range of UK/USA and was in danger of needing to fly over 2 AA guns to bomb Russia. If you hadn’t added more USA ground units for your invasion of Germany, it could have easily failed. In my opinion you had grabbed about an 80/20 advantage in the game by the time you sacked Berlin. One extra AA gun hit in those rounds would have done me in.

I think your only error was in responding 1 round too late to the invasion of North America. I was beginning to wonder if you ever make mistakes, so it was relieving to finally see one! I say all this with the caveat that I really don’t know how many rounds of failed attempts at Heavy Bombers would have doomed the allies. My sense is that you would have been in the driver’s seat if you rolled for heavies in the first three rounds after I got them and that you would have been in trouble if it took 4 or more rounds. I could be WAY off on that, though.

An area of surprise for me was the substantial effect of our optional rules in the late parts of the game. The hard neutrals rule was a small hindrance to my Japan strategy, as Mongolia was a logical spot to consolidate all my forces. The big influence, however, was your lack of ability to build a factory in Asia. It must have been maddening to have no UK or USSR naval option in the Pacific besides sailing boats all the way around the world.

Very well played, as always. I’m definitely looking forward to flipping sides and starting our next game here in a couple of weeks!

@fmerwinrommel Thank you sir, good luck!

@argothair said in Karl7 (X) vs. Argothair (L), World at War 1939 Game 11:

@Karl7 OK, I concede. Good game! I got diced in Hamburg and France/America can’t do it alone. It was only like a 60% chance to win that battle, but you should have had only 1 or 2 units left for the Americans to mop up, and instead the whole air force lived and you can likely rebuild and hold the front lines where they are.

Meanwhile, I just don’t have an answer for the 1-2-3 punch with Yama/Hisacihi/Thai. I can’t actually hold any ground because whatever I put in the way gets mowed over and then you take the next factory a couple of turns later. Doesn’t matter if you lose 100 IPCs of units along the way because you will rebuild it and move it to the new front lines within a couple of turns. The battle for Cairo doesn’t look any different than the battle for West Iran or East Iran or Calcutta or Burma; it’s just the same battering ram over and over, and we don’t need to see it play out five more times. To effectively defend I would have to stop producing units for the UK offense, and then I’m even more dead in the water than I am anyway, which is already pretty dead.

Good game!

Yeah the Japanese land game was intense

There was about 5 turns where they built up and then we sent the Thais in to their death and that opened the gate
