L20 #3 trulpen (X) vs Amon-Sul (A+7) BM3

[trulpen]

No complaining, but that was just sick defensive dice. Just a short summary. The inf in W Ukraine hit. The Bryansk stack hit above average, 2 of 1,66. The Rostov stack was even more persistent with a double effort, hitting 4 of 2. The des hit. Even the friggin’ sub hit. Almost everything hit. Amazing.

[trulpen]

Ah, yes, the anti-airgun didn’t hit. Quite surprisingly.

[trulpen]

I actually only intended a strafe of Rostov. Hence all the tanks and the tac. Smashing through the defenses wasn’t too bad though. They’re likely untouchable because of Moscow.

[trulpen]

I’d say this is the back-side of helping out the chinese. Somehow it didn’t work out in our first game. Have to look at why. Will stick it into my report. ;)

each decision, and stregthening on one side of the board, weakens the other one. it is logical.

what i learn from this game in which u play a much better italy and better japan (also much tanks to that i ve lost my element of surprise) is that allies are overpowered.

the axis are so strong with all that japanese air, german tanks, italian central position, and they need only 6 VC in the Pacific, 4 they have and Hawaii and India are not so far away. As for Europe, even without Sea Lion, after cracking Russia its just Cairo left, and not far away from Volgograd too.

I now realise why the top players bid 10+ for the allies, i think it will just grow to 15-20, around 20 , maybe even 20+ for the allies.

So , that idea of Urs of playing axis without a bid against me, was totally unaceptable. how much i prefer and like to play the allies, i must say that in future, if i wont be able to get a proper bid, i will gladly take axis with some small allied bid for my opponent

[Amon-Sul]

sorry i wanted to say that the axis are too strong (overpowered)

That valuable battle power is withdrawn from Moscow.

If Russia had built only inf and maybe some art, then Germany could not stomp into Bryansk in G5 without any italian can-opening.

Now Germany is knocking on the doors of Moscow and I believe the defense of that stronghold now is very compromised.

but could in G6 or G7 ?

[trulpen]

And of course, very significant, that 2 mech, 2 tank, 2 fig and 1 tac would be part of the defense. The air makes a great job at offensive defense, i e small battles.

Depends a lot on how much reinforcements is coming in from Berlin. Not impossible, but much more difficult. The thing is that without being able to land air after moving in the stack, it’s usually more susceptible to counter-attack. Of course, you know this.

In BM3 Russia is usually to strong for Germany to just have it’s way with it. In OOB it’s a little bit different, since it’s so easy to exclude Russia from it’s NOs. 7 extra IPC per round from R2-3) to R in the beginning is a big issue for the situation in G5-7.

Btw, I don’t think that the Soviet-Mongolian Defense Pact is maculated. You entered Korea, but didn’t attack it.
