@trulpen said in L21 Amon-Sul (Axis) vs Pejon_88 (Allies + 16):

I’d say a MIC in Romania is hard to justify, with G having plenty of production-capability already. Sure, two steps closer to the frontier, but you’ll have to build 30 inf there in order to just get square in regards to mechs. And it’s even worse, since you can’t even build units there the turn it’s built, so it’s actually 4 turns of production.

The key to that line of thought is that the mechs you could buy instead would make a bigger impact on the game than the slower units you’d buy closer to the front, simply because they would be in play earlier and also come with extra flexibility and dynamic. Generally speaking mechs are the golden unit for G. I say that without a doubt.

But its interesting how U dislike mechs with Japan ahahha

Well, J has that inf-train going in China.

@pejon_88 OK so my attack with the French des was successful fortunately. Potential attack on SZ37 is now according to picture below. Will he dare to do the attack, which involves all of the remaining air units and almost whole fleet. Don’t mind my mind games ;)

Yeah, U took some risks, first at Shan State, then this India sz battle, and the biggest of all this sz 37 potential one.

I was calculating and it was 70-80 TUV in Axis favor.

We shall see. I really need to play patiently my next Japan move.

U took a big gamble, we ll see if it turns out good for U.

But first Germany, and Russia.

[Pejon_88]

@amon-sul the problem was the outcome in the US initial attack in which you hit 4/6, 2 of which were bombers at 1 or less 😯
Then I was definitely lucky with UK. The plan was ok but not fool proof in any way.

yeah, the plan was with average dices ok, but the thing with this ˙averageness` is that its tricky.

U already moved ur USA navy before UK turn. If UK turn wasnt that good in Shan, U would have severely worse odds now in sz 37

[Amon-Sul]

i had a lot of not satisfied results while doing the Taranto thing with UK before on rd 1. I dislike that strategy cus its severely depends on the dice.

[Amon-Sul]

but here is different . u re ready to gamble as a part of a broader strategy. u had nice odds with usa to take my shan,

all i am sayin, considering sz 37 thing, its still a big risk.

that type of battle can go + - 150 from the original TUV prediction

[Amon-Sul]

ok i am finishing the german move soon

cheers

Some dilemmas for Russia. Eager too see the move.

And then we go for Japan.

[Pejon_88]

@amon-sul Indeed! Was quite nervous when doing UK hehe.

[Pejon_88]

@amon-sul You mean in other previous games?

[Pejon_88]

@amon-sul Yup, I thought the risk of severely crippling Japan was worth it. Got 3 bombers out of the way and considering the new cost of 14IPC, they are rarely replaced now I feel. Japan is down to 15 planes in total and have to decide on SZ37. Problem with non-100% battles is that it can in most cases be one or two hits in either direction that is the difference from being a 50-50% battle instead, so it is quite safe to call it a 50-50% battle when counting luck, if you follow my train of thought. It usually deters people from attacking in those situations and since I put myself in a nice position I gambled. Right or wrong, I don’t know :)

[Pejon_88]

@amon-sul Will play Soviet now so you have plenty of time to plan Japan. I hope to be quite fast in response to a potential attack and OOL. Only certain thing I can say right now is damaging the ACs and BB.

[Pejon_88]

@amon-sul Yes, going to open the map now :)
