Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16)


  • But farmboy still alive, strong and dangerous.

    The great game continues…


  • @farmboy

    I forgot the UK mech in Rostov.

    I am on mobile now.

    If its not problem i ll move it after Italy s turn.

    If it affects Italy much, ok, then let me know.

    Anyway i ll try to brainstorm it ASAP and write it down here.

    Cheers

    The game didn’t allow me to pick up and move that Marine from Italy for some reason so I moved it to Greece


  • @Amon-Sul said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

    @JDOW said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

    Yeah, he kept everything together which was key for this turn. Such turns are the reason why it is so hard to make progress against Japan. If Japan wants to protect a territory, they just park a bunch of their abundant planes or fleet there and out of sudden, this territory is an impenetrable fortress

    I like to see how the top players use this all around abilities that axis have. It takes a lot of skill, but even when pressured Germany and Japan can move a lot of units in all directions.

    I am an allied player fan, axis are my weaker side, so i like to watch and learn from the best.

    Like you, I think I am a better player with allies. I think this is a pretty strong allied strategy you are taking thought. I would have liked to have seen it play out against @JDOW without the unlikely allied dice (or against Adam or AD).

    I think JDOW’s choice of a G2 dow was a good one in response to the strategy, its one that anticipates your plan since a G2 dow requires some G1 decisions. I’m trying to think through what I might do differently in the event you do this on R1 again and I don’t anticipate it.

    I was somewhat overconfident at first, because I thought if you really committed to it I was going to walk over Moscow on G6 or G7. That clearly didn’t happen and you set up well to save Moscow with air if you needed. I typically play a G3/ J1 or J3 game now. Because of your choices I went for a J4. I’m now thinking that in doing so, I surrendered the initiative to you. Not sure, but I wonder if I would have mounted a better challenge with a J1 or 2 so that ANZAC and UK pacific were contained early (even if that meant letting China and Russia hold Yunnan)


  • I am at work,

    but i ll try to play ANZAC now.


  • before Italy s move, my first idea was to move the mech to Kazakstan.

    So i ll proceed with that.

    I cant brainstorm anything better.


  • ok

  • '23 '22 '21 '20 '19 '18 '17

    this was a sloppy turn for me here in that I forgot until after I finished Italy that anzac could take it back. Not sure if it would have made much difference in the end to my move, but annoying that I hadn’t planned on that.
