PtV Nikola1975 (axis+6) vs Malmessi74

[malmessi74]

@nikola1975

Just to check if I haver to go on or it has no sense

You must own and keep 6 VC in the pacific front, you have KIANGSU MANILA MALAYA TOKYO HAWAII KWANGTUNG and you are going to take SYDNEY, am I right ?
Now I understand why you oklaced an Ic in MALAYA and just produced without moving units…
:confounded:
I need to take KWANG back now and then another VC once you have taken SYDNAY ?
Rematch ?

How the war is won
The Axis wins the game by controlling either any 8 victory cities on the Europe map or any 6 victory cities on the Pacific map for a complete round of play, as long as they control an Axis capital (Berlin, Rome, or Tokyo) at the end of that round.

[nikola1975]

@malmessi74 If I am right, the change was made in PtV, Japan needs 7 victory cities instead of 6, because one more VC was added.

So, with Sydney, it will be 7. You would need to take one city back BEFORE the next Japan turn. So, if you can take Kwangtung in next UK/Chinese round, that would mean you are not losing. As you can see, I am preparing for that attack, lots of planes will land there soon :blush:

@malmessi74 Yes. This was unfortunate, but the difference was too big. Chinese expected hits 8 and Japanese expected hits 19.

Shall we call it an end? My rematch successful? :)

Yes but I’d like to have the rematch of the rematch, and I’ll have to pay attention to the VC rules…

Do I have to post something in the league thread ?

[nikola1975]

@malmessi74 Yes, please, check it out how the others are doing. We can have a rematch. Shall I take allies again? Maybe we can try without a bid for next two games, as in both cases axis won? Maybe there is no advantage here for allies, or two of us are better at playing axis?

[malmessi74]

@nikola1975
Allies are in advantage in PtV, no doubt.
Let’s try with me allies but without any bid,
can you please setup the game ?
