Game 2 - L22 PTV Art of War (Ax+15) v 666 (Al)

[666]

I messed this up…went way to heavy trying to get London back, put me on tilt…let japan just take the game. of course your super fast aggressive strategy was key…it’s like I almost skipped an entire allied pacific turn? oh well, well done. an early christmas present for you!

[ArtofWar1947]

@666

The UK focus on the Med turn 1 set up Operation Sea Lion, which turn, set up the Japanese in the Pacific. My experience is that the Axis cannot afford to move at less than a super fast speed. As this and our last game illustrate, the US so quickly amasses enormous power.

Let me know if you want to play out the J7 turn before making a final decision.

[666]

@artofwar1947 what do you mean about playing out J7 and making a final decision….I don’t understand and I agree with your analysis

[ArtofWar1947]

@666

I was not sure whether you wanted to end the game or continue it. If the latter I will post the J7 combat move.

I might get extremely lucky dice and hold IND for another turn. Attack away JPN

@666

Assume you do not want to scramble to SZ40 then.

[666]

@artofwar1947 probably not. I will accept lots of 1’s for my AA dice

@artofwar1947 I don’t think I can recapture any Pacific VC’s. What a failure. I wasn’t expecting your speed and aggressive style. Well done

[ArtofWar1947]

@666

Thanks Jim. You made it challenging, and there was a very small window of opportunity for the Axis to win.

Would you like to try the Axis+15, rebid a new game, or wait until next year for a new game?

I like the bidding process to much to forgo it…give me a day to lick my wounds. I’ll get back to you shortly!
