G40L Boldfresh (axis) vs. Stalingradski (allies +8) game 1

[boldfresh]

it wouldn’t allow me to noncom the art off borneo so i had to edit it in.

[boldfresh]

well, we aren’t at income parity quite yet.  need some significant german expansion before that can happen…  :|

[Stalingradski]

For the record (it’s here in writing  :-D), you’ve had your hands on two Allied capitals - one should have been taken, and one should have been taken easier - the fact that I’m in this game is pretty crazy. I’ve played solidly, but you’ve played more creatively and out of the box. I’m especially impressed with the Atlantic Germany/Italy/neutral crush combination - the buildup of air and naval power was done right under my nose, but stealthily - I felt I had Germany contained until I realized you had over 20 aircraft, and could see your long-term potential. When you put it all into action it was a bit of artistry. So my hat’s off to you. This isn’t flattery, just fact.

And another fact is, I am still in the game, and am a very solid player. Not as crafty  :wink:, but I know what to build to stay in the game, and I understand logistics and odds. Those are my strengths. I’m looking forward to seeing if I can pull this one out, or if not, how long I can make you work to get a victory…  :evil:

[boldfresh]

It appears we are locked in quite a struggle - thank you for the thoughts.  I have a great deal of respect for you already and I look forward to the battles ahead!

Cheers

[Stalingradski]

Thank you sir!

Back to the war…

hmm will have to try to remember why i left some fleet in 37  :roll:

[Stalingradski]

I only saw it at the last minute - it was a scary attack of opportunity for UK… and they only had 6 aircraft in the theatre, not 28 like someone I know  :-)

I got lucky, and should have lost another fighter.

I’ve sudenly realized you like Axis aircraft even more than I do. I tend to buy one at a time for Japan and Germany, every round, but you go even faster…

[boldfresh]

to clarify the aircraft on mixed carriers situation:  there is currently 1 ftr, 1 tac on each italian acc in z91 and 1 empty italian acc (just placed).

[Stalingradski]

Knock it off with the carrier purchases, please  :|

[Stalingradski]

Hey… that Rio de Oro naval base was mine!

[boldfresh]

@Stalingradski:

Knock it off with the carrier purchases, please  :|

the only thing i like better than aircraft are aircraft carriers…  :wink:
