@Stucifer I concede. The French almost have as many inf as the Germans in Germany.

[Stucifer]

@surfer Thanks for the game! I don’t remember asking, did you consider a transport buy and going for London G2 after I used most of my air for Taranto?

[surfer]

@Stucifer Yes, but I assumed SeaLion is a bad idea considering how powerful the Russians could become. I was basing this on BM/OOB games where the Allies get significant bids. In PTV, the bid switch makes SeaLion I guess more successful?

[Stucifer]

@surfer Yes, in PTV Taranto is more of a gamble for the UK especially against a G1 naval buy - which is a very popular opener.

With the reduced transport cost it’s possible to have 12 transports even if you don’t take Normandy G1. Even without doing Taranto and building heavy in London, Germany can easily be at 90% odds (see the Axis-Dom v Pierce game)

[Stucifer]

Russians can definitely get supercharged if they set up well for it. I’ve been thinking about a combined UK focus taking out London G3 and going hard for India ASAP with Japan.

[surfer]

@Stucifer That is what Pierce did to me the first game. I did not react well at all, and lost quickly. In general though, SeaLion is way more powerful than I realized.
The Russians can grow and maintain 50+ for awhile, but without the Brits (after successful Sealion), the Middle East falls and Italy is a monster. The Germans have ~ 60-70 depending upon splits with the Italians, so they can overspend the Russians. The Russians cannot prevent the NOs for Leningrad, S. Caucasus, and Middle East. With the removal of the UK, it is really a touchy problem for the Allies because very quickly the Axis get equivalent economies, which is usually the kiss of death for the Allies.

I had to pull every stop to prevent SeaLion in this second game with Pierce and not sure how it will play out. (9 inf buy for London + UK1 DOW on Japan) The DOW is reasonable only because the Japanese DOW J1 on the Russians. They have too many land forces tied up north to make a real dent in the south, but US is out of the game for awhile.

[Stucifer]

Well I am hopeful you are enjoying PtV. It certainly has a different dynamic and the Allies can be quite a bit stronger. As Gamerman pointed out int he discussion thread I am currently much better with Allies than Axis…despite almost all of my tinkering and theory-crafting being as Axis (hah!)

Up for another game when you want one.

Cheers,
Stu

[surfer]

Oh, I’ve enjoyed the games. Lots of complexity to resolve. The Japanese are especially challenging to play.

I’ll take you up on another PTV game, but I need to get one more BM4 game under my belt so I can have 6 for the year.

Cheers,
