PURPLE DEFENDER!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN!?!?!?!

lol.

Your solid start is starting to erode!

A.  Your navy is split up off of the UK, WHY?

B. YOU HAVE LEFT UNITS ON DEFENSELESS TRANSPORTS I am going to sink those for FREE this turn…  Never leave units on transports, unless there is a VERY specific reason (only happens 1 in 100 times you load)

I get why you left my transport alone…  but damn man.

C. Why the Solomans?  It’s not worth anything.

D. Build is OK, but an Aircraft Carrier, would have better suited your needs.  You could have landed your planes on it.

E.  You did nothing with your forces at India?  Why? :)  Always move all of your pieces, all the time, somehow, even if your move is to choose to keep them in place, atleast do it deliberately.

[satinpurplefender]

Well, call it newbie logic, I guess. I guess the lessons with the transports is one that I need to learn the hard way. Besides, we Marines aren’t known for our superior intellects. The Solomon Islands, while worth nothing in production value, may provide me an aerial platform in a pinch later, and better to take it now than later so it is there when I need it.  As for India, I’m honestly not sure what to make of the situation there. I thought it best to keep the backdoor shut against the Japanese, or at least make it harder to kick in. The UK strategy has been the toughest for me to see much to do with. Perhaps we will need to do a second game after I completely ruin this one. ;)

[Gargantua]

Do you want to submerge your sub off of Hawaii? Or do you want it to defend with your ACC and Fighter?

[Gargantua]

I’m just going to roll for it.

If you WOULD have submerged it instead, you can put it back on the board.  This is a learning game. :)

[satinpurplefender]

I’ll use it for defense anyway.

I didn’t feel like I had many options for US1, but I know that they are slow to “spin up,” as it were, so hopefully I didn’t leave myself too wide open. After I submitted, I realized that I left some lonely Infantry in Central US. More rookie mistakes, I’m afraid.

[Gargantua]

It’s all good.

You’re not doing bad.

Next rookie mistake though, is that it’s Russia’s turn now. Before I can go. :)  So please… do post it.

So, any suggestions to salvage at least a glorious defeat? Lol

[Gargantua]

LOL Switch sides?

OK Marine,

Do you want the NO BS Sit Rep?  Your position IS recoverable,  but you’re on the edge of more than trouble.

THE GOOD NEWS, 
1.  Economically, you still make more than me every turn.  As long as that stays that way, you are winning the game.  As soon as that changes… you are losing the game.
2. Japan’s ground game is turns away from Mattering in Asia,  You won’t see much heat from them in russia anytime soon
3. Germany doesn’t have much in the way of an offensive into Russia this turn.  This is your chance to regroup, and try to build up a standing russian army, that will buy you enough time to get the allies in the game.
4. The Americans have not lost too much of their starting fleet units, and you’ve got some GREEN threat on both sides of the board.

THE BAD NEWS
1. The economic game is swinging my way
i2. Russia now only has infantry and AA guns left, they are cut off, exhausted, and about to get squeezed.
3. Africa has fallen to Germany, this is VERY bad news.  be smart about what you do there (I’ll give you some help)
4. Japan has 4 transports, and a factory on the mainland, it won’t be long before the pacific is yellow
5. The american fleet is in the pacific mostly…  and would be better suited in Europe.  But it’s too late to change plans now, you’ll have to adapt!

BOTTOM LINE
You’re not defeated yet, and you’ve still got some fight on the board.  As long as you’ve still got some fight in your heart, I say you give me a run for my money.

NEXT TIP
Take a peice of paper, and title it, LESSONS LEARNED, then in point format write down all the things you’ve learned,  like medium stacks being bad, always double checking that your capital isn’t exposed.  Not leaving Russian planes on the front line,  or exposing tanks to my forces, and especially NOT forgetting to move units, like Russian subs and so on.

You will learn your own lessons, and have a record of what you have learned, which will make you a better player for the next game, and we can go from there.

One more thing Satin…

One of my tournament teams has more or less folded, and there’s only 1 player remaining on the team.  His name is The Desert Journalist… and well, heh, he’s never even played global, and he needs some SERIOUS help.

So I’ve opted to join him, in my OWN tournament, to vye for the title, until such a time as I can replace myself with someone else (who gets eliminated).

Care to join us?  It’ll be a bit of a trial by fire, and we might lose if you screw up, but you’ll be in the trenches with me, so as long as you can carry out some general orders, you should learn how to survive rather quickly.
