did the dirty deed lol, got your berlin, i’m happy ;)

gg!

wow… it was loading up VERY slowly this round, so i guess it’s good it ended finally

Of course my 12 AA shots had 0 hits in Germany.

yea i was so hopeful when i saw that… alas

[axis-dominion]

good move on the DD i didn’t anticipate that… ideally i would’ve bought tacs but couldn’t afford them with japan up my ass lol

[axis-dominion]

dice stats tell the story on those battles

[Adam514]

Good game! Seemed like Allies potentially had the edge on turns 14-18.

Yeah the DD blocking 3 units from coming in and a few bombards was very worth. Nothing you can do about that except buying planes instead of land units from Sweden.

Japan was slowed down just enough by a strong China due to not getting Yunnan on J1, but on the other hand the German sub killing the US cruiser and tp allowed the Germans to keep Norway while pushing Russia which was clutch.

[Adam514]

As for the slow load, closing and reopening TripleA every few loads speeds it up significantly.

[axis-dominion]

yea you popping my cruiser in the beginning was really annoying… i did feel i had the edge for a few turns i agree, the momentum shifted a lot when you swung japan over, so that was a great move. hard to stop that i guess when everything was so tight as it is in those european/middle eastern theatres.

[axis-dominion]

i’d be down for a rematch maybe after a couple days break or whenever you feel ready again after a small break. wouldn’t mind allies again same bid amount if you’re ok with that, as this has been my only allies game since i came back and i miss them

yea norway was frustratingly illusive…

[Adam514]

We can rematch after a few days yeah. We’ll discuss the bid when we get there. Maybe you’ll change your mind about wanting to play Allies again after playing a near flawless Allied game against a rusty Axis opponent who made a few mistakes.

i did notice those mistakes haha… but i started making some mistakes myself sadly like i shud have sent a few more carriers to 91 to allow more ftrs to attack wger from sardinia… that was just dumb… and a few other little things, mostly toward the end as i was getting fatigued and wanting to end things climactically. there were also a few strategic-level decisions i wonder about, i’ll have to rethink a bit maybe

[Adam514]

I’d say probably a few too many facilities were built haha.

[axis-dominion]

true probably… idk it’s hard, allies need the mobility… you bought quite a few yourself lol

[Adam514]

@axis-dominion Yeah because you were always running away with your Pacific fleet.

true, and losing the facilities to japan…

[axis-dominion]

i’m also thinking the neutral crush may have worked against me, i think i maybe didn’t set up enough for it… i guess i was feeling desperate to increase my income

[Adam514]

@axis-dominion I think you do it to save your France stack, but apart from that it’s usually not worth. Especially if you can’t keep Japan from Africa/S America. You’re giving a decent amount of units to Germany and the income is barely increased in your favor.
