XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

there is no point to it, unless you can take it.
Why not take his national objective away in aleutan islands?
-
also get some inf for india.
-
you don’t need transports if he is not stealing islands from you and you also have to be willing to swing back at it.
also what is up with the destroyers? global is all about carrier fighter mixes.
-
destroyers are better for attacking strait naval, but don’t put much pressure on taking an island and are not as good on defense. it is a good buy if you plan to attack strait naval.
right now you just need enough to sink america/anzac the rest should go to expanding if you are playing income.
the aleutan island no is 6 ipc you take away from usa, 1 less sub is 1 less sub.
-
I did not calc a hawaii attack, but i assume 2 more units is not going to help
-
but yeah keep putting units out into asia, don’t dump uk pacific survivors onto your europe counterpart, that is japan’s problem coming at me, you got to make up for it by pushing forward and trading units.
-
If you play the income game, do aggressive expansion, that way you don’t dump usa on me.
-
should my land units in india go up to china (ie: back through burma), or should they go towards persia? or should they just sit there til the stack is a little bigger? or should I cut them in half like I just did?
I’ll turn that transport into 1 inf and 1 artillery instead for you.
so, should i move my fleet to hawaii or not?
-
another strategy if hawaii turns into a fortress and you don’t have the carrier/air/boats to take it is move up to hollywood and stop him from producing naval off of it. I think you lost the naval superioirity to do that at this point.
I do understand that you need enough to sink usa to maintain a mexican standoff that is favorable for you. (he has to block you instead of you block him).
-
ask yourself what is the point if you can’t take it? there is no point. take aleutan islands.
-
i AM taking aleutian islands, with just a transport and a dude.
are you saying i should move my full fleet up there? if so, please be more specific because you’ve said 9 messages and 4 pm’s and I still don’t know what you would do or what your real advice is….
and what do you think i should do with india?

Whoah whoah whoah…
After having that Battleship float around for 5 turns, we can’t remove it now?!?!
The loss at the Carolines, in it’s scale, does warrant a Rule #7 intervention. Which I’m reviewing and considering now. :)
But can’t we be good sports?
If we can’t and you both agree, I won’t force this issue, obviously, this tournament is about fun, but come on… :P Seth’s Plans Counted on that Battleship! Especially now!
-
check it out, so you block him from going to hawaii for a turn, woopy do.
you take aleutan islands he goes to hawaii and buys naval. you go back to japan, he can’t take carolines easily with 1 transport so where is he going to advance? no where and he does he has to block you from swinging in those upcoming rounds. plus if he moves forward he gives up aleutan islands for so many rounds or whatever.
you just need enough to sink the units on the board plus 3 fighters. that is it. the rest goes to expanding. you have to adjust your calculations to him buying carriers off west usa to get filled up with fighters… that is it.

in my save i have deleted the french BB. if you would prefer a different kind of rule 7 intervention, let me know, i will wait your words before i roll

ok, i see your point. my idea of going to hawaii was that, besides the pretty girls, was that he would have to move his fleet away from western usa to avoid my attack the next round. however, he could just put blockers, so i guess it doesn’t matter.
so, what to do with india?

i think i am going to proceed with the deletion
in my save i have deleted the french BB. if you would prefer a different kind of rule 7 intervention, let me know, i will wait your words before i roll
actually to honest, i think the most fair route would be to delete it. we’ve both had bad luck, so things are even if it is deleted.
adding, say, an italian BB would be most useless, and quite silly. adding a japanese BB may turn the tables in the pacific towards me. and seth was counting on not having to deal with a german bb. -
Veqryn you are very confusing to me and hard to follow. I gave up on understanding. You don’t gamble at all and then when you do there is no point to it. I don’t understand.
-
I don’t want to play japan, because I am too lazy to run the calcs. I just want to screw around in europe and wait for you to win.
I will tell you what you need give me a second.

this is my FIRST game, among other things, of either global or alpha
i played conservative mostly because i didn’t want to fuck anything up, this being my first game. with the exception of dice, and that almost loss at midway, i think i am doing pretty damn well.
here is the new savegame for you cow,
i am asking your advice because you have experience and because i like having a second set of eyes
tell me what you think of this one -
Alright,
So long as Seth agree’s you can remove it. Per Rule #7, which allows 1 unit removal aswell.
