Lem vs Alsch J10.AAM

[Alsch91]

Yeah I’m gonna have to throw it in at this point.
If I had remembered to not throw both transports at Alaska on Round 4, things would probably be much better; Japan would have been crushed by now.
But alas.

If you’d like to try a new game, that’d be okay with me.
Actually I’d be interested in trying again starting with that American turn, but I’d understand completely if you’d rather not - it probably wouldn’t be very fair.  :lol:

Completely up to you.

[Lemming]

You’re right that US4 was the turning point. It set you back 2 turns at least and gave Jap the chance to take NSW. I think at this point your US fleet is too much out of position to make an impact and Axis economy is way too strong, though I was surprised you didn’t pressure Jap instead of going to NSW’s rescue?

Great game though. I got to try out my big move going after Washington early game, after that fell apart with the super airbase save I was pretty screwed and deployed all wrong, so I’m sure if we re-did the game from US4 you would have probably won easily playing carefully.  :-D

You up for alpha3? I can take either side. I’m kinda confused with the all the rules changes though…

[Alsch91]

Yeah really wish I hadn’t turned around to Alaska like that.  That was pretty dumb.
But ah well.

I got to show you how to hurt Sealion, at least.  :-D 
I will say though that if Germany had waited until G4, they could’ve taken London.  Would’ve payed for it even more in the East though.

I’m not terribly sure what to make of A3 just yet.  I’m testing the newest iteration with Axisplayer right now and some of the changes confuse me.
UK was nerfed so hard that I can’t quite figure out why. :?

I was interested in the first A3 version - if only to see exactly how hard Allies could stomp Axis.  :lol:

The changes are starting to getting more and more drastic as they go on.
I’d be interested in trying it, but frankly wouldn’t know where to start.  Or we could give A2 another shot.  It seems quite a bit more balanced to me.

Thoughts?

[Lemming]

Let’s stick with A2 then. I find it rather balanced and like the option of going after the Yanks, however difficult it is  :lol:
But you wanna take Axis this time? Now that I know all about Sealion hahar

[Alsch91]

Sure, I’m fine with Axis.  Actually I might want to try Sealion anyway.  After looking pretty thoroughly into it with Jim I think I know the optimal strat to take London, might just want to see how you react.  :lol:

I’ll start a new thread, this one’s getting heavy.
