A couple of turns ago you could probably have retaken Calcutta but you took Sumatra instead. Not sure I understand why. Unless my calculation was wrong?

I decided not to hold it because I only narrowly had the odds, and I was worried about you gambling and then succeeding. I also thought that I would have great odds on the counter attack. I did, but decided not to go for that on the low chance that it would have been a disaster. In committing air to it, I might end up in a situation where you would have a plausible chance to take Tokyo. I’m playing overly cautious in the Pacific, but it is just because I’m fairly certain I should have the victory conditions in Europe shortly.

Actually that could be quite prudent. Although that assumes that you will indeed have the European victory.

Hmm, I think that is the game. Looks like you have enough to take Stalingrad. Can’t see another vc for me to retake.

[farmboy]

@simon33 Likely. Its a big battle so you could always hope for a dice miracle but otherwise I should have it.

[simon33]

Sorry, forgot to post this one.

A major boo boo here was taking back Caucasus with USSR. Was hoping for you to get a hit and give USA a walk in. Probably a feeble plan. Wonder how much difference that would make. Still a reasonable showing I guess with only a +10 bid.

Yeah. It was very close. You had the Pacific, just not in time to save the game in Europe. I think you might have been able to spend a bit more on Europe relative to the Pacific once you got the advantage there. And I think you could have given up India in order to focus on saving Moscow. I didn’t do a careful calculation of what you could have done, but I thought you might have had enough air to discourage a Moscow attack for another turn or two if you hadn’t also been worrying about Calcutta.

Thanks for the game!
