Ya I prefer it to wasting money all on navy makes Japan a lot more flexible in their attacks and forces the us to cover too much ground with their income.

@axis-dominion:

yes I agree with your assessment…gibraltar was key for me, key to keeping you divided and therefore weaker. had your fleets combined up, it would’ve been very tough for the allies to make any progress in the atlantic whatsoever. i also felt you built way too many inf! with germany, had you built mechs and tanks to gain more mobility, and with italy too, considering all that income you had, you would’ve had options to flank the russians. instead, the russians had that greater mobility, which was just plain awesome to see. finally, you could’ve definitely put up greater resistance in the pacific, instead of just stacking inf in tokyo and turtling up. with the smaller home fleet you had, instead of hanging out in egypt, you could’ve retaken islands and weakened or even threatened anzac and uk pacific.

for a while russia was strong and i felt i was winning (as i usually do when in a sea lion situation), but when you were convoying america (which was a critical mistake i made for allowing you to do that) and the combined italio-german defense was pushing the russians back, i felt my advantage was quickly slipping and felt the game was going to be over, but it’s the things you pointed out and that i’m pointing out here that allowed me to regain the advantage and finalize the deal

good game and very fun (and funny) game for sure. i’m down for another game if you’d like (i’ll try not to blunder this time ;)

I want proper internet first again. I have to divide my spare internet between current games. 2 of which will end soon. 1 I probably be forced to concede and 2 more that I have doubts whether they can be finished before the end of the league and probably should be conceded as well (I like to start with a clean slate, ak no wins/losses from a previous league season). Once I have proper internet again, you will be the first on my list for a new game. I have enjoyed this game very much and sadly the points you pointed out and the ones I pointed out have resulted in me losing. Tho Gibraltar was most definitely key. Italy was a major force up until then.

Sounds good, thanks for the game and we’ll do another soon
S.A.

Good game.  I won’t be able to take back Germany.

The day is yours, Sir.  Well played - no way I’m coming back from that landing.

That’s what I get for neglecting the coast.

Det siger vi saa. Jeg er enig. Du kan naeppe faa de noedvendige VCs

Friendly bump…  :-D

thanks for the game

Simply making NOs harder to attain, through either adding units to a new setup or how it’s worked now (via bid) is enough for me.

Their relative ease to acquire is irrelevant. It WOULD be nice to have every (or almost every) NO come into play. I’ve yet to see the Russian 10 IPC one matter, nor the Japanese controlling Solomon/Wake/Midway/Gilbert. So the question would wind up: should they be in the game at all?

The more pressing issue is the France conundrum. How should they be handled? Something SHOULD change there. I feel like the first time France is liberated NO should read: the first time France is liberated, France collects IPCs from all controlled territories during the liberator’s “collect income” phase and may immediately spend it. France does not collect IPCs during their “collect income” phase this turn.

Ok GG man. I appreciated the games.

I believe a Pacific victory is immenient now.  You have no transports in place to take back a VC before Japan’s turn next round.

good game
