@jim010 didn’t notice if I posted the french turn, so I posted beginning of german turn just in case.
-
May be a few days before I post. Need to finish a league game, and I have am working form home.
Just can’t seem to close the deal on beating the Russians.
-
@jim010 no problem. Can’t beat the Russians? Surely you mean in the league game, right? :D In our game they are on a fierce retreat haha
-
I bet it all on beating them by turn 5 and then powering through with my 28 tanks into India. I don’t know why, but I didn’t expect you to run and join up with the British. I haven’t played competitively online since the first editon G40, so my tactics are woefully behind the times.
-
@jim010 you always bet on a bunch of tanks from Germany to do that? Perosnally I havenøt won 1 single game as the axis yet :D I’m not new to Axis, but I’m fairly new to the Global version. At the moment I think it’s weird that the Allies get that bid form the beginning, cos I think they are easier to get a victory with. But I’m probably wrong, since the whole community insists on a bid for the Allies and that league games often end on a 20-25 IPC bid on the Allies…
I think I just suck at being Axis, still :p But I’m copying your 28 tank-strategy in another game, hoping that it’s enough so that I can focus some more IPC on holding western europe, which I ALWAYS lose when I’m axis. -
It gets the maximum amount of power to Moscow in the shortest amount of time, and the Russians can’t deal with it. But I’m rusty with the Japanese and Italians. And your Middle East defense is paying off now. If I can’t kill those Russians and free up those Germans units to do something else, I’m not sure how to proceed. You’ve effectively made me ‘stuck’ in Russia. Maybe I should have come in from the south to prevent you from joining up with the British.
-
@jim010 maybe, yea. I don’t know. So far I’ve found the neutral crush-tactics with the allies to be the most effective. The US can spend the first 2-3 turns focusing on Japan to cripple their efforts and very quickly be ready to take Spain. And there is very little risk of Axis going for the Neutrals as it makes Europe almost impossible to hold + all the extra IPC’s that is handed to the allies for free.
-
I do like the Spain gambit, and thought I could counter it with the Italian navy with 7 subs, but haven’t been able to get that to work this game.
-
It worked great in another game, but playing whack-a-mole in the Med has disrupted that.
-
@jim010 yea, actually I did think that those subs would cause trouble. But I also thought that as long as I just make sure to have 3-4 destroyers near Spain and 3-4 near the US, I’d be fine. But I don’t know. So far I haven’t played any games where the Axis have dominated the Atlantic ocean. Unless I haven’t spent money there with the US, of course, which is not viable at all, unless Germany suck or have horrendous dice like all the time haha
-
I think next time I may try to do a full buy of german subs in addition to the Italian ones. Maybe that along with keeping the German planes close by. But I needed those planes for my final attack on Moscow … which never happened.
-
@jim010 oh taht’s right… I’ve experienced a bunch of times that the Germans have 6-10 Bombers. That counters the allied fleet in the Atlantic pretty well. For a while. And it’s expensive. At some point the allied forces have too many carriers and planes for that to be effective.
-
@jim010 you wanna do a rematch?
-
I’ve got alot of work I’m finishing. I have 2 others that I have waiting for me to make moves. I would like a rematch, but I have to wait.
-
@jim010 no problems, just say the word when you’re ready
