T2 Play Off R2 G40 2nd Ed: oysteilo (Axis) vs. Wittmann (Allies +38)

[oysteilo]

@wittmann:

Would you like tj intercept with all 6 Air? If my DD or Ft hit, will assign to whichever nation the IA chooses . You change if not satisfactory.

I think it depends a little bit how many hits you get. But yeah max scramble, so 6 fighters

I am here, so you can ask

In general, subs die first and I want to keep my german destroyer unless you hit crazy numbers. japanese planes die first

[Witt]

Two Subs hit, so will kill the Subs .

[Witt]

And I r more .
Shall I kill a Japanese Ft and leave the DD Alive?

[Witt]

You can afford to lose a plane, so will keep the DD alive .
Very good move by you.

[oysteilo]

one jap down

[oysteilo]

one japanese down, keep destroyer

[Witt]

@wittmann:

Morning.

Thank you.  Good luck and have fun in the final.

All right. As always when a game is finished up I am interested in hearing your perspective. Even though you give up now it is a lot of work left for the axis to meet the victory conditions. But it seems like you are in trouble to close the gap in income and with that in mind I think it will only go one way for the allies

Now a few things from the game

your bid is extremely efficient and the way you take out italy is really well done. Italy made 18 in round 2 and 10 one round and not before round 15? they were above 10 again. The convoys were so destructive for both Germany and Italy.

I think your attack on the italien stack in russia was sort of decisive for you. Now, it went really bad for you, but I think you were supposed to be like 66% to win. I think that weakened moscow enough for Germany. I was not sure to leave the stack vulnerable, but it is never good for Russia to engage in big battles with the italiens.

I also don’t understand why you didnt activate dutch new guinea before round 12? or so?

Finally you need more bombers. If you had a stack of them (like 4) you could have made things very difficult after moscow went down bombing both germany and western germany

In the pacific you do really well, but maybe you have too many destroyers?

Really those are the only things I see you did wrong or inaccurate. I am very happy to hear your side of it

The greece factory was a misstake, but I was planning to do what I eventually did much earlier but I never found the resources for this

This was a fun game and one of the most difficult games I have played. Well done and fun to play you!

[oysteilo]

and for the pacific I buy a lot of carriers. I don’t know how to counter that as allies. Japan has so many original planes to put on those carriers and I think this kind of ensures that Japan is not loosing control of the seas. When they do, it is all gone for japan

[Witt]

Thanks fir the words.
I am afraid I can’t say anything , as I can’t remember! Is bad, but I have that problem. I thought I was doing fine , with a good TUV lead , then bang lost Moscow and India on same turn. Could see it was happening. Perhaps, should have reacted differently. Was not coming back from that.
Guinea: just thought it was a waste . You always had enough TTs to take Solomons or Gilbert Islands . Seemed pointless .Thought it was better to have you worry that I could land anywhere , than throw away my TTs. Again, in the Pacific , after taking  the Carolines felt I was doing okay. Proved elusive. I am sure I should have handled things differently, but, ultimately, you were better.
I was bereft of ideas. You proved the best player I have faced in a while.
