Changed italian setup in N Africa before german battles. Shouldn’t be affected by Franz, so hope it’s ok. If not, I’ll change it back.

Wanted to put some inf in Bess, so redid the NCM. Less edits that way too.

[WindowWasher]

@trulpen yep, this one is yours, good game.

that battle was crippling, you can force a sea lion, then inevitably take Africa and Egypt no matter what I do.

In a broader scope, I tend to concentrate power in a few centers and work from there, and you do an excellent job weaving between those centers. This is particularly problematic with the allies as you’ve now got an income advantage. I’ve got to learn to spread my units out better to project power in more places.

[trulpen]

You were quite unlucky there, first only doing 1 dmg on the ab and then with positive odds Germany and Italy defended fiercely. I agree that the situation for the Allies looks very grim now.

It’s interesting what you say about projecting power. I feel my weak point is particularly maximizing pressure at certain focal points when need be. I spread out my power too much, trying to accomplish several goals at the same time. Wonderful when it works, but also might be the road to catastrophe when none or too few of those goals can be fulfilled.

An example of a player who is excellent at focusing power at specific locations is @Ghostglider. I’m often flabbergasted at how much strength he manages to mobilize and will try to learn from it.

[trulpen]

Btw, do you want to play another game?

[WindowWasher]

@trulpen yeah, but I’m not at 10 games yet, and I’m not sure ill get to 10 this year since I’m only playing 3 at a time (I probably will get there, but I cant promise anything). If you’re fine with that, sure.

[trulpen]

Sure, no problem. Ranking is of minor importance.

[WindowWasher]

@trulpen alright, I bid I’ll take allies +100

Great, I’ll look into it. Just to know, since I don’t remember our earlier agreements, is an inf on NG an option?

[WindowWasher]

@trulpen sure have at it

[trulpen]

I’ll post it in a new thread, which we can use for the game.
