Wheatbeer (Allies +6) vs Alex (Axis), G40 Final Alpha

[lexgreat]

ACTUALLY, having seen my poblem mid through turn, would you grace me with the same thing you asked for, ie change builds? I’d not change any combats, just my builds. So obvious really.

[lexgreat]

If you dont object, consider this moves, pls.

[wheatbeer]

No problem … I have a meeting this afternoon, but I ought to have time after that to do the US.

[lexgreat]

Japan is lost anyways, I think, thx to my complete neglect of your TT capabilities brought to the Pacific. Hell, I still have no idea where all those TTs came from :)

[wheatbeer]

Sorry about that.  I wasn’t trying to hide them … they ended up in weird spots because I had no naval base in Panama to speed them along.

Unless something weird happens, I guess this game will come down to how fast the Axis can secure an 8th European VC.

[lexgreat]

no excuse for my own mistakes, but its the one weakness of TripleA….and I still have not adapted.

[wheatbeer]

need scrambling and kamikaze orders SZ6

(can I assume max defense for OOL?)

[lexgreat]

omg, did not see bombers as well…

Scramble all air and use one token each for 6 DDs.

OOL, you chose as indicated, pls.

[wheatbeer]

Sorry, got distracted by the environment thread, lol.  One sec.

[wheatbeer]

2 kamis hit, SZ6 concluded with just 1 dd and planes left.

Korea and SIB defended well.  Japan’s aa failed though, so that was pretty crushing.

NCM will take a bit to work out because so many planes are involved.

I fear that losing Japan is much more deciding than losing Moscow, and although I feel disappointed that a not too badly handled game turns that ugly by simply not looking good enough, I really have none to blame than myself.

We can call this one a draw if you want and start a new match?

The only other thing that could be done is redoing J13 and all subsequent rounds  :|  I’d probably prefer calling it a draw than that though.

[lexgreat]

I dont see the point of calling it a draw. You did nothing shady, and not all wins have to come gradually and unpreventable from a certain point on. This one came quickly but there was still enough opportunity for me to delay you. This is what maddens me (speaking in a game-context; and taking nothing away from you, you played skillfully).
