not so easy to see, but aa in persia

[MrRoboto]

gonna call this. Somehow I wasn’t able to contain Japan. This JDOW1 was stronger than I thought and I didn’t find the proper answer.
I poured massive resources into the Pacific with nothing to show for.

[oysteilo]

Yeah, I agree, I dont see a path forward for the allies here.

A couple of points from me. Of course the way you lost moscow was not good and the game would have been different if that didn’t happen. I also think it would have been better to keep the russians alive. I mean, when moscow fell the second time I think you should have pulled out instead.

You have japan on their knees. I think you do a lot of things right here, but maybe you need to keep the pressure up a little more or a lttle differently. When you switch to Europe focus maybe you should have gone 80:20 or something like that instead of 100% Europe and maybe you should have started a little earler too.

The IC in greece, did you even build one unit there? The navy base in africa is essentially a single use base. You used it to move your transports 3 spaces one time. Thats all I think. And you cant just let your transports die off greece the way you did.

Finally, you need at least 3 transports with your british fleet in the med. With all the americans you have, 3 british transports will become a powerfull 1-2 punch against italy or germany.

It was fun playing you!

[MrRoboto]

I know all of the points you raised.
Guess I was not focused enough, being a little distracted with the ELO system revamp.

Moscow and the Greece IC are the most obvious errors I made.

We can rematch if you want.

[oysteilo]

same bid different sides?

But I also need flexibility with posting frequencies. Sometimes I will be away for several days, but I never just leave the game without posting

The game will go into 2024

[MrRoboto]

No problems with the posting.

I’d rather not give you the Allies with +20.

I bid +20 again, if you want to accept that, otherwise you can counter-bid

[oysteilo]

ok, i bid 18

[MrRoboto]

17 for me

[oysteilo]

i try 16

[MrRoboto]

Okay you can have them!

Bid please
