I concede, good game and very well played! There isn’t that much that I would have done differently. There was some unfortunate dice early for me but nothing major.

Good luck in the finals!

@Adam514 Good game! Fast and intense. It looked to me that you followed the playbook from our last game with some minor tweaks (avoiding 111, hitting the US cruiser, and sending the bomber to hte pacific even earlier.

I thought the dice seemed less dramaticaly decisive than in the other two games I’ve won against you. But I do wonder how different this would have been if your G1 attack on the US cruiser was successful and if the attack on the French fleet went the way it should have gone. I think small differences earlier might have been enough to turn the game in my favour. You may have had other dice in mind, but htose were definitely two early moments I recall.

[farmboy]

@Adam514 Also, I appreciated the effort at the end when you went all in on a Pacific victory.

[Adam514]

It’s a coinflip on the US cruiser so I don’t expect it to go my way, but that is a big swing if it works. The French fleet was one battle, and I lost 3 units in Yugo which ended up being significant.

Congratulations to farmboy!

There were several things which surprised me. Yunnan & sz111 not being attacked in the first round. Also that you went J1 at all. Not a fan of the attack on the UK BB in sz37 either but that is fairly standard.

Not sure why attacking the US Cruiser in sz101 is such a big swing. Only 2IPC/turn from claiming Brazil. I guess some convoy damage as well. I think there must be something I’m not seeing.

I think this is Adam’s first league loss as Axis, if it isn’t I’m not sure which one he lost before.

[farmboy]

@simon33 in our game last year, Adam had a similar axis approach but he did both 110 and 111. I believe he still won both, but I had good dice and forced him to trade 7 air against my 4. My dice were certainly above average but it wasn’t an implausible outcome either. I think it is usually the right move to scramble the UK if it improves the TUV exchange for the allies and gives at least a small chance of winning. My guess here is Adam didn’t want to risk a repeat of that and opted for a safer attack.

The last time, he also avoided doing Yunnan. The extra China inf makes that a more difficult combat if Japan wants to do a J1 and hit the UK Battleship. In addition, he ultimately conserves Japanese land units. He still gets India J4 with pretty overwhelming numbers. and chases China away from Yunnan fairly quickly as well. In the end, in BM, the allies get 3 art instead of 4 inf and maybe an extra 4 to 8 income. Definitely useful but not game changing.

The US cruiser is a big swing first because if the Germans win outright they knock out 19 tuv. If they lose, they lose 6. They also convoy on the US and it denies the UK its BM bonus of a sub free Atlantic. Delaying Brazil by a turn also delays the entry of those 3 inf by a turn too. And in BM it also means the US can’t grab 5 with a landing in Morocco. And generally it will set the allies back by a turn in the atlantic and it probably mean they have to spend more on the atlantic early to compensate. Thiis also gives Germany more time to make landings in Europe difficult and reduces the early US spending on the pacific. These round 1 combats often have a larger impact throughout the game and if you are going to do a J1 anyway, its a good move in my view.

This is the third time I’ve beaten Adam’s Axis. But its the first time I’ve won where I feel that the dice didn’t do most of the work for me.
