facepalm

[jim010]

I give up.

[Alsch91]

You wanna call this game, I assume?

[jim010]

You played very well, and capitalized well on areas that I couldn’t make happen, for sure, but I am getting too frustrated with this game.

I’d be up for a rematch, but I just can’t keep this going.  To be honest, I can see I am already outnumbered in Russia, and my plan for Japan isn’t going to manifest itself in time to pull this off.  I got outplayed.

[Alsch91]

And I was so excited to declare war on Japan with France…  :lol:

I understand completely, it’s tough to play when that happens.

I was quite interested to see how things were going to turn out, I’ve never played with a balls-to-the-wall kill Russia strat like that.

I feel like things were going to go very very badly for Japan almost immediately, though.

Only very small sub investments by US would be needed for the rest of the game, it seemed.

[jim010]

My plan was simple:  Sacrifice Japan in order to go after russia.  The key would have been the Japanese airforce would need to fly over Moscow at some point and hit it, even if it was suicide.  The idea was that the planes would reduce the Russian stack by 6 - 8 units - enough to hit Moscow, but I can’t even get close to Moscow now.

Plus, I should have stuck to the plane and not hit Burma and just bypassed Yun in order to get to the frontier fast.

[Alsch91]

That’s cool, I sorta noticed something was up when your carriers were all empty  :lol:

But Japan would get neutralized by US/ANZAC so insanely quickly that Germany would suddenly face 80% of USA steaming towards France.

It’s a pretty cool counter for the 100% Pac-Strat though.
Honestly I’ve never had to face Japan as Russia before, I was curious how I’d handle it.
I figured 3-4 tanks would be enough, along with that initial mountain of infantry.

[jim010]

I thought it was worth a try.  Needs tweaking.

Did you want another go?  Low Luck even?

[Alsch91]

I’ll be down for another game in a day or two, I want to see if I can finish this wave of games I’ve got going.

While I understand why you say it,  :lol: I prefer standard luck options.
Just seems more….“legitimate” to me.

[jim010]

OK.  I’ll be gone Friday and back on Tuesday.
