@mainah Ha! Well, you know how the Aussies like to travel…

I do in fact. Hitched hiked across Texas with an Aussie years ago, ended up bumming around San Antonio with 2 other aussies we met at the hostel for a few days. Loads of fun.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah They are the best. I was lucky enough to be an exchange student in Geelong (near Melbourne) with a sister university. Spent a year really enjoying how Aussies view the world, how they interact, and destroying my liver! One of my dear friends and her husband are actually coming over to the states in March to spend a few days with me. Been a LOOOOONG time. Really looking forward to it.

@kilroynothere

Life got busy, plus much to ponder in this game.

The allied Trio is up.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah absolutely no problem. As you are well aware, I am far from the fastest player! And yes, this is a captivating game. Deep into round 5 and have no idea how this plays out. Fun.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah Got a chance to really look at the board today. This is a close one. Japan is a beast! Italy is strong, and Germany is still very, very strong. Pretty awesome game all around. Still really like the GIB gambit.

[mainah]

@kilroynothere
I’d feel better if I hadn’t lost the Kriegsmarine, at least not so cheaply. I think Russia has the edge on the eastern front - Italy is big but seems to have stagnated a bit. She is holding her own, but that’s about it. Nice that she is at least not a liability.

Japan is the bright spot, for the Axis.

You are playing your position well. I think overall the board is tilted in your direction. But not so much I’d wager anything on the game.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah Feeling about the same, but maybe not with too much confidence. Japan being so strong is really a problem that I feel is going to be tough to curtail. Russia is big defensively, but not much of an offensive threat yet, and poor UK needs more money to really crack Europe (G or I). But, feel that the tide has ebbed, except for Japan. Need to focus the US on Japan this round.

That sums it up well - You haven’t rolled back the Europe axis, but you have stopped the advance.

The tension shifts to the Pacific Tango.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah So the Tango is definitely happening, but in some unusual ways all over the place. Italy is up.

triplea_40161_5uk.tsvg

Sorry about a couple of Edits. So much to do on the allies, I forgot a UK attack into Syria and moving the US sub. Minor stuff.

BTW, If you do chose to attack the Allied Atlantic fleet, I would take all the DDs first, and not damage a CV.

@mainah just checking in. I know I missed one of your posts and sat on it for a week not knowing it was in. I’m swamped at work, so no pressure, just wanted to make sure you noticed the allies move.

@kilroynothere
Thank you for the reminder!

I did see the post, but didn’t open the file, and completely forgot about it, honestly. Having a game going in the newer P2V varriant that just consumed me.

Let me look now…

I seemed to be getting hit hard with the UK or ANZAC air landing on US carriers lately. I just dont see it coming.

Need to slow down and take the time to really play that stuff out before I move.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah First, I need to check out the new variant. You like it?

Second, I haven’t really done too much of having allied air on US carriers as it reduces a few options, but it does open up others. I really didn’t have much of a choice in this game. Really do enjoy this variant as this game is not terribly similar to any other I’ve played. Very challenging.

I think a single player as the allies makes for a very strong allied side in general. Having separate players reduces the carrier swap types of options. Especially face to face. It seems for the allies to win, they must work fairly seamlessly. IMO.

All very true observations.

Path 2 Victory. I do like it. Major changes are islands are between sea zones in stead of being surrounding by one, carriers can scramble to adjacent battles, some cost changes, some attack/defense and bonus changes, very different NO’s and a major change in territories in china and Russia. There has not been a fast win gambit developed as yet because of the territory changes - it’s a longer game by design.
