Thanks to you too!

A way to capitalize on what you were saying earlier… buy more infantry with the Axis, and Germany in particular. There are a lot of articles on this site that will help with the ratio.

Armor are sleek, fast, fun, and powerful… but eventually the math catches up with you if your opponent is buying two infantry for every armor you’re purchasing. Look at it this way… two infantry attacks at a 2, defends at a 4, and takes 2 hits to kill, and moves 1. An armor attacks on a 3, defends on a 3, takes one hit to kill, and moves 2.

I’ve bolded the most important part, from my perspective… it means everything.

Yeah that Turkey move probably sealed the deal.

Still a nice game thanks.

Good Game.  I did limit the number of bombers from normal dark sky but once you get a stack of 10+ its hard to defend against.  Good luck in your future games.

All set, it’s ready.

Hmmm… really?  You bitched all of last game due to bad dice rolling.  It still would have been an easy victory due to your incredibly bad game play.  You left London unguarded and did little to reinforce Moscow.  It would have been easily overrun even with average dice rolling. I tried to be polite since it appears that you are obviously a relative novice and more experience would will help you improve.  Leaving capitols weakly defended is a common rookie mistake.

Now you had great dice rolls and still lost due to incredibly bad game play.  There were three major battles that all got hugely favorable results for you (5% outcomes).  Still you managed to lose because you insisted on guarding Paris, a capitol that I had absolutely no interest in attacking since my European stronghold would turn into French ownership.  You left both Germany and Italy’s capitols unguarded, making the same rookie mistakes as last game.  Instead of graciously conceding defeat at the hands of a superior opponent, you want to call me a cry baby?

I have been beaten many times by superior opponents and when I got crushed I admitted defeat and complimented them on their skill.  Do you do this in every match?

Destroyer sz91

I concede thank you for the game

thanks for the game

gg.  I had fun, I thought I was done for after I lost UK.  We can play again but my game slate is too full right now.  I will definitely let you know.  Cheers!

GG indeed.  I thought you had me there in the early parts of the game.

I’ll assume so.

You should report the result though.

Bump 3,  I was really hoping we could have continued this game. It was a long one. Hope all is well.

@ArtofWar1947:

Jim: I am going to concede; I don’t see any way the Axis can stop the downward spiral that began in Turn 1. Congrats on an interesting strategy. Let me if you want a rubber match; I would be especially interested in LL so that I could better analyze the highly challenging UK strategy you used. Art

On a business trip right now. I’ll give you a shout for game 3 when I return.

Yes, please do post the results.
