11L '41 DM (Axis) vs. LL (Allies + 6) +NO, No Tech, 14 VC

[LuckyLindy]

I will be happy to talk strategy after the game, and happy to answer all those questions, they are good ones.

In the meantime, there’s a lot of great action yet to be had in this game!

Cheers

DM, when you say you think the game ended when I left Asia, what do you mean?

I thought that might have been your best chance.  Either try and stake a claim in Man (or Fic/Bur) and slug it out there.  I Thought it was a very neat move to load up the Russian troops and thought you might make an attack on Japan or stack in SE Asia.
Once you left Russia (which I think was the right move) I thought you were going all out for Japan so once you left Asia I think it pretty much guarenteed the Axis an IPC adv and gave Japan a bit of a breather.  Seemed like you moved to a Plan B or C, which is why I asked if you always intended to move the US to the Med.  Once you left Asia, I don’t think time was on your side.  I feel I can just play extremely conservatively (attack in Sz 15 not withstanding) and just make sure I stack Japan/Ger/Ita appropriately and cover Mos.  Germany’s army alone equals pretty much all the Allies put together.  I just felt you had a better shot at Japan, then at any place in Eu.

Italy on the Way.
