small adjustment, plz use latest

@axis-dominion Just one single fun fact that came across my mind.
You made like 40? single Bomber SBR strikes this game. And if the bomber went through, perceived, you scored 6+ damage 95% of the attacks:D There were a few 5 damage rund, but did you ever score 3 or 4 damage?

thought there was at least one 3 damage, but I’d have to go back and look through. but agreed totally, allied bombing has been quite effective.

@axis-dominion I just ran the numbers and realized you will have enough to make Norway a coin flip at best despite some 55 extra units I transferred North from the 6th army.

I was hoping for at least one massacre that would give me something back, but anything but a slaughter would not help the Germans.

So it is time to resign.

Sorry for dragging it out for so long. The position was technically lost after I blundered most of the Japanese fleet in turn 2, but I wanted you to show how to convert this advantage.
I misjudged some other positions of games I observed earlier that I thought were lost for the Axis, too, but somehow the Axis ground their way through and somehow made it in the end. I didn’t even know what the Allies made wrong, but the Axis somehow turned the tide, so I was hoping I could be able to do the same thing in whatever way. I was e.g. surprised, how smoothly I snatched Moscow and India (which you called a fortress earlier in the game) without making any major further concessions but in some way I like I BM is designed allowing the Allies to maintain the income edge even without Moscow and India.

I believe I could have turned the game against most opponents, but not you.
You kept your advantage, played cautiously, as always creatively, and without making any major errors.
We have discussed before that I believe you could have entirely destroyed Japan earlier in the game but you were content just knowing they are no VC threat so you let them off the hook in order to draw your attention to the Germans.

In hindsight, I could ask myself, why didn’t I even try some suicide all-in in the Pacific bringing the mighty Luftwaffe over to the Pacific? Or the other way around with Japan. But I think I would have always been too slow and if I went Pacific, with the Chinese alive I believe there would have always been a way to trade a VC even if I miraculously had captured Hawaii or NSW. Same would have applied if I’d go all-in with Japan in Europe.

So I wanted to see if things unfold I thought they would. Unfortunately they did so and there was no surprise, but this game was very educational for me, as I never played a game that went even close as long as this one.

So, very well played axis-dominion! Good luck in the final!

thanks jdow, man, what a game! very challenging from start to finish, I didn’t wanna take anything for granted, as I know how easily a game can turn, especially with that much axis power in your very capable hands! looking back, I agree that I did miss at least one opportunity for the Chinese to advance closer to the coastals, which would’ve made life more difficult for Japan; however, I’m not entirely sure that was as game-changing as you think it would’ve been. certainly would’ve been uncomfortable for Japan for a turn or two at least.

and yea, I was wondering at what point you would either go all in on one side… I mean it could’ve easily been all pacific or all Europe, as both sides still had immense axis power and nothing was certain for the allies. however, i was very conscious of these possibilities and felt I was prepared to shift resources as needed to match such extreme possibilities.

There were definitely certain worrisome points in the game for me, like when you conquered Egypt and started backing my forces into a distant corner in Africa… fortunately a neutral crush and aggressive Russian stack poised to join up with the allies in Turkey and the Middle East made you pause and even turn back…

man so many points to talk about, but I gotta rush off to work lol. what an amazing and unforgettable game!

[axis-dominion]

also, forgot to ask, is this your first loss as axis in global/bm3 ?

[JDOW]

@axis-dominion Yep, first Axis loss in BM.

I have 2 Axis losses in vanilla.
My first, when I played Karl and lost France at 99.916% odds (20 ground units).
The other vanilla loss was a championship game against Zhukov back then.

In total, this was my 8th loss in a league game since joined the league in 2013 (plus maybe 2-3 play off losses before they were counted to the league results)
