@wizmark your game…americans way underperformed…I went max def just to click through after the first round…tactical defending would have left at least 1 loaded carrier which with a scramble and your fighter unitsa left, brits would be unlikely to break through.

Intersting decision to leave germany undefended…relying on the dice to save you there…worked though!"

[trulpen]

Yeah, I’ve underestimated the break-through in sz113 on several occasions. Kind of my achilles heel.

Well fought. Lots of counter pressure with Russia. Japan got a bit too strong though.

[wizmark]

@trulpen yeah…takin germany and hong kong would leave you short in the pacific for a turn but I dont think I could ahve held germany for long enough to take a VC back properly. You get japan very strong very quickly…can’t seem to do it myself…always seem to get stalled

[trulpen]

Maybe it’s the two mICs in the east of China and focusing on getting the DEI asap?

[trulpen]

Also building 1-2 ac per turn until you get about 10 is pretty strong, capitalizing on the strong airforce.

Think it’s more of an over-sight than a concious decision. Have made that mistake twice this year and usually pay dearly for it. This time I must’ve just gotten lucky.
