AldoRaine (Allies+6) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM3

[simon33]

Wow! That was a hard turn.

I forgot to move the inf up from Sakha on Japan’s last turn. Hope it isn’t too late.
I also assumed no intercept in Moscow.

I thought you’d attack Yakut for sure!

Do you realise you’ve left Sydney for me to take, if I’m willing to sacrifice a BB and a marine when I can’t hold it. Not sure that I am.

I think that was just the winning move. Anzac can’t can open in the Middle East any more. You never know though.

[AldoRaine]

@simon33 yes i am afraid that will cost me an other close game. I will sleep on this one and let you know tomorrow.

[AldoRaine]

Actually no need to sleep on it, I think i concede this one. GG

I think you’re right. Allies were doing pretty well but ANZAC spending in the middle east doesn’t allow enough for home defense. I felt pretty good about how the game was going in spite of it being pretty close. USSR was slowly being squeezed, the USA was being edged out of the Pacific. I hadn’t conceded much of a foothold in Europe - still holding Norway, Normandy and South France, in spite of trading Spain and Greece. The British were doing pretty well but 36/turn makes me a little scared - not trembling in my bones.

Main thing which concerned me was India. You had all those forces in the area and could perhaps rebuild. My thinking though was that if you committed forces there, you might not be able to hold the Middle East or challenge the Caucasus. I thought that if I killed the US fleet which was trapped in the Indian Ocean before it could be reinforced, I’d probably have the victory. Too many places to defend if my ships can land anywhere.

[AldoRaine]

@simon33 My plan was to use the can openers to pierce the underbelly of the axis but I lost a lot of units along the way so I don’t know if I would have been able to hold out. Very fun game. I hate when i lose a game on a miss like that though. Well played. At some point I would like a rematch

If you want, we can play it out for fun with relocation of the ANZAC forces. Move them all to Sydney?
