[Erinmore]

imho, i lost even worse this game.

[DaddyK]

Do you want to keep playing this game?  If not, I would like to try a game with the allies (so far I am undefeated with the axis, 3 games, and have yet to win a game with the allies, 3 losses and 1 tie, a face to face game).

[Erinmore]

I’m down for a game. but wondering if I can get any IPC? …

[DaddyK]

IPC for the axis?  What do you have in mind?

[Erinmore]

six. Tank or sub for Japan.

[DaddyK]

I am okay with either of those (as long as the tank is in Japan).  Do you want to start this new game or finish out the old one?

[Erinmore]

restart. + 1 Tank in Japan.

[DaddyK]

Okay, since you are the Axis I will let you start the thread.  Do you like any observations about the last game?

[Erinmore]

Yes, for sure. Only way to get better is hear what you have to say.

[DaddyK]

In both our games the American Pacific fleet got crushed in the Caroline Islands.  That location is a death trap, there are just too many ways to get there and with the way carriers can reposition to pick up planes, Japan can concentrate alot of fire power there even when it does not look like it.
In this game you could have really messed with my plans by having the Russians in Moscow fall back and link up with the units coming in from Siberia instead of standing and fighting.  Granted you lose Moscow, but that was going to happen anyway, this way you would have had this huge army running around in central asia, which meant the bulk of the German army would have had to stay their too, giving the UK more time to fortify Cairo.
When I was messing around with Triplea playing against myself, I found that the only way to stop the G1 onslaught from taking Moscow was to shuttle planes in from Scotland and up from Persia (nice place for an IC, imho).
I tend to be too conservative when I play the allies, so seeing your more agressive free wheeling style was helpful for me to see, I hope I learned something for our next game.

Good luck! (or average luck for both of us) in the next game

[Erinmore]

This is good advice. I have, in board games, moved the plane from Scotland and UK Pacific.  I don’t know why I forgot about this in our games.
