Oh and I missed my fighter in tobruk moving to S. Italy. You can do both edits on Russia’s turn if subs can pass through that strait, otherwise I can do it on Japan’s turn. Have you been tracking the money? Here are the end of round numbers thanks to the history tool.

Granted there will be some fluctuation during the rounds as territories are traded or say an ally liberates a territory and that power hasn’t collected on it yet. I didn’t want to go back country by country to get those totals. But I think the axis are sitting pretty; no allied fleet threatening europe, russia cocooned in moscow albeit with a lot of air power, and Japan is regaining it’s stride. Japan’s going to start feeling the pressure soon but China and UK Pac are non ententities and have near parity with US. Anzac’s spending in the middle east which is something I haven’t seen before. So that’s helped against Germany/Italy but hurt you in the pacific theater.
My bad, allies should only have 132 and not 134 end of round 7.

its a hard fight and i am enjoying it no doubt but i dont know if i can pull out a win against you, this is a way tuff strategy you have!
ooops…i dint hit send to server. here is the map after russia 8. sorry
Does this mean you’re now a proponent of a round 1 DOW? We can get another game going after this if you want another crack at this strat now that you know more of what to expect or we can flip the tables and make me play against my own/similar strat.
I like it because it gets into the action right away. Games develop their own inertia and if you start building up, oftentimes you and your opponent will become locked into an arms race. I’d rather have a footrace with fewer units. Fewer units encourages more attacks because the odds can quickly shift in your favor. They shifted against me when I tried cracking Russia and they shifted right back after volgo held. I’d rather try a 30% battle when there’s maybe half a dozen total units then a 30% battle when each side has 30+ units.

i’m still on the fence about this strategy, i think there are a few things i could have done differntly to shut down your plan, and a few things i did, while they helped to buy me some time, they ultimately back fired on me (like USA in Korea).
but there are lots of things i like about it…more than i thought i would, and its WAY hard to deal with as the allies. plus, yu cant beat the fact that round one ALL powers are in the war…takes away lots of the slow play that has come into it with the DOW issue.
@seththenewb:
We can get another game going after this if you want….
The addict in me would LOVE to start another game after this, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea for me.
Axis and Allies is already (as bob said to you last game day) like crack cocaine to me; why else would I be able to play for 12+ hours straight on game days? But playing online like this with you and gargantuan is really messing with me; I am constantly thinking about our games and obsessing over my next move or what it is you might do, etc, etc. its worse than the trouble I experience trying to fall asleep after a game day, my mind wont shut off about it; I’ve been thinking about conceding in this game and with the one I have going with gar and stepping away from playing the game until next game day just to give myself a rest, I haven had a full nights sleep since we started this game! Problem is, when i think about conceding I always give in because the crack addict in me is always asking…well…maybe you could still win…but if you stop in the middle of the game you will never know! DAMN I’m such an AA junkie!!!
Ha, I have an hour’s plus drive home after game days that I use to think about the games I took part in . . . which sucked last gameday because all I could think about was how bad Jeff messed Japan up! As if it hadn’t bugged me enough during the game itself! And then he has the temerity to blame the loss on Italy. :roll: Oh I am so looking forward to beating him on the 2nd.
One thing I don’t like about triplea is the map zoom isn’t all that great, so it’s harder to see air threats. I’ve made a couple mistakes with the IJN’s movements that left some of it open to isolated attacks that attrited it’s strength away. The ac protecting my last transport and hope for a quick take back of korea, I think I lost a bb or two as well. I saw korea 1-2 turns before it happened but didn’t worry about it . . . until you sunk my transport and them I was like well what am I going to do now?
Some of those might’ve been mistakes on my part, but a good/great player takes advantage of his opponent’s mistakes. And you . . . you were ruthless in that. Usually my Japan looks a lot stronger by this point in the game, unless US goes balls to the wall there. You’ve oscillated your US might from Pacific to Atlantic and back again and still were able to put a crimp in Japan. I wonder what more aussie presence would’ve done? But on the other hand, I’ve never had Italy so strong in the med before either. You have a chance now that the bulk of the italian fleet is gone, but you’re 2-3 turns away from sz91 at the earliest and there’s a reason I started to build german subs. :evil:
We can shelve this game for some time if you want. I don’t know if you’ll still obsess about it even if it’s not an active game. I think I’ve got this game though and maybe a couple more rounds will convince you of that. fyi, I used to obsess about my games as well when I had 1-2 games going. Now I have half a dozen and I can’t keep them all straight in my head and stress on them less. Granted I’m also putting a lot of the time I’d be thinking about those games actually playing those games.
Yea, its proabably best if i end this game…too addicting to me playing like this, i think it best if i just stick with face to face games 1 or 2 times each month. sorry.
and yea, i also agree…you will eventually win this game. economy and time are in your favor and you are also in better postion in too many locations for me to contend with.
Good Game!
and i hate to disapoint you but i dont think i should get into the turnament with you; that will proabably be more than my addictive, obsessive compulsive personality can handle.
sorry man.

DAMN I’m such an AA junkie!!!
Man I hear ya…
A good trick for me, is to TIME myself, I decide what time I am willing to commit to the game and thinking about it. And I spend a certain time in/of the day doing that task. Then to break it off, I do a cool down. I usually go for a 10 minute walk, then I force myself to play Sudoku or, another simple puzzle game.
You will entirely derail the axis and allies thoughts, and feel successful and COMPLETE as you’ve solved the other puzzle. Then tomorrow is another day.
Training yourself to mentally cool down, is as important as training yourself to switch on before game day.
The puzzle cool-down totally breaks your concentration on the other game, and you are good to go.
Seththenewb,
You should approach Surprise Attack about joining you. He needs some help learning tripleA, but he’s a solid teammate - as is always lucky with the dice!
