Combat Hit Differential Summary :
@MillCreek I need to stop taking turns during work. I totally forgot to take Kwantung even though I planned on doing it previously with ANZAC.
@AndrewAAGamer You can have this game. $46 is not enough and the Axis should have won already but you made a major mistake and I have only been playing to extend the game to match the last game. However with this mistake I am not interested in continuing.
@AndrewAAGamer So, a quick debrief.
Attacking Moscow with 6 bombers makes total sense in Low Luck. Would you do that too even with normal dice rolling?
Your 3 transport build in the Baltic is interesting. It costs you $29 to do it (3 transports and a destroyer). However, it saves you $1 for every infantry versus a mech and $2 for every artillery versus a tank. Thus figuring 6 infantry and 2 artillery (I know you build 4x4 however I think that is too many artillery) that saves you $10 a Turn so it pays for itself in 3 Turns and is way ahead in the long run. Plus, it protects Norway which is cool as that is an $11 swing. However, it does slow the taking of Moscow to a Turn 9-10 take instead of a Turn 6-7 take. Have you found it works best in the long run and not so much in a shorter game? Have you seen anyone else try it? Does that fleet ever get blown up?
What about just pushing infantry and artillery out of Germany instead for a long run strategy? That is only one Turn behind your Baltic strategy and you save the $29. Of course, you don’t protect Norway that way.
Your Japan strategy was excellent. I loved the way you built carriers and pulled off planes to keep pace with the US navy build. It took me significantly longer to reduce Japan than I expected. Do you see anything I should have done differently with the US/ANZAC? Personally, I think I built bombers too soon and should have continued with carriers and fighters for at least one more Turn if not two.
Any other thoughts?
