The axis on the European board have now captured 8 victory cities. You have 1 turn to ensure that the Axis on the European board do not hold the cities.
Otherwise, the axis powers have triumphed.
Damn, getting my ass kicked all over the place.
I doubt I’ll be able to push anyone out of a capital this turn - my whole fleet is dead and my transports are 2+ turns from doing anything productive.
Ugh - I’ll finish up after work, good game sir.
Don’t beat yourself up too bad, you are playing multiple games and I have an additional advantage of bouncing ideas off my buddy. You were the first public example of how overpowered bombers are. The last time my buddy spoke up about going America first, they changed the game so that America could declare war if territory in Canada was taken. Heh, I am curious to see what the bomber solution shall be. I hope to take on more veteran players and test our hypothesis that bombers are broken. I am pretty convinced that there isn’t much the allies can do…and no amount of bidding will really fix this. Please take the strat and run with it. Its fun and easy to work with. You can go pure bombers or a mix toward the later game. But initially, go bombers. That’s the best part. You can imply threat in every theatre, devastate players that make the mistake of miscounting where they can go, use them for casualties etc. Cheap, long range, and +2 to every die for bombing if you desire to do so…you don’t have to bomb, it really doesn’t make a difference, just adds insult to injury. Look for mine or Jamesaleman posts as we try to disprove our conclusion. Good game. If you would like to play again, let me know. Use my own strat against me! muwhahaha.
Yeah…bombers threw me off. I talked it over with some friends who play and they were even a bit confused. Its definitely something I’ll bring to our Saturday games. I guess the best thing to do is buy AA - but then you’re thin on troops.
Good game again.
Give me a week or so and I’ll take a rematch :-D
no worries man, it is good for you to experiment and not get locked down into any particular strategy. AA guns are only useful vs a land attack…and they can be killed, so beware of this counter. IMO, it does not perform as well as I had hoped.
**Yeah…bombers threw me off. **
Yep, me too. I am still unsure of how to counter it effectively if at all. You can play the axis on the make up game.
