Omega1759 (Axis) vs. Paksos (Allies) - No Bid

[Gargantua]

Great conquest of Australia!

Allies are doomed.  There is now way to recover the pacific in time!  2 turns remain at best!  :(

As for Europe… would be interesting if that was a stand alone fight…  Russians have a good hold.  But the Germans have some tricks!

Be interesting to see if Japan can pull it off my J10!!

You were saying that my Japan was terrible like 2 posts ago. :-D

There might be a way to defend India with some Russian units. I’ve just been focused on expanding with Japan without considering the VC count too much.

[Gargantua]

Sarcasm gets lost over the internet. :P

I just wanted to bust your chops a bit. :P

I’m thinking of attacking Neutrals in my game, just for the hell of it.  Seeing how many I can capture before a round 10 victory party!

Paksos has been an incredibly honorable, and resourceful nemesis, despite the deficit.  It’s nice to see a player who’s consistent like that, and has a sense of honor!

[Paksos]

Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!

Algeria was a dumb move which I usually wouldn’t have done - but as Japan has this in the bag anyhow I thought I’d see whether some of my African troops could be heroes!  :-D

Woot woot, the Italian troops did something!

My invincible Italian bomber is dead!

[Omega1759]

I don’t see anything out there that Anzac/France can do that would influence Germany’s choices. If anything, playing Germany first would give you an advantage. I might post Germany later tonight if you don’t play Anzac/France (Anzac/France should be quick, right? :-D).

[Omega1759]

I don’t like losing 2 fighters and a destroyer, but it was well worth it.

Note the trick of building carriers to extend the range of my fighters.

Another US navy goes to the bottom of the sea… :-D

Looks like there is a new Pacific navy I must deal with, now!

[Gargantua]

Man…

Convoy Raiding in Axis and Allies Global has changed how I play the game.

Looking at my game against Canuck12, I raided Germany for 13 last turn, and about 18 of Germany’s IPC’s are at risk.  With all of Italy’s income also at risk in that game.

In my game against Paksos… I have 18 dice to roll against him on america this round.  The average IPC per dice is 1…  Getting raided for numbers like 10 to 30 is NOT a good time… lol…

[Canuck12]

Don’t forget to mention that 8 of those “German” IPCs are actually from England, which I took from you…

:-)

[Gargantua]

Whoah whoah whoah… easy. ;)

[Omega1759]

You guys can see that I’m planning to shut down the convoy raiding business soon! :-D

[Omega1759]

Paksos is having a busy week!

[Paksos]

Yeah he is - Left my old firm today, starting a new job on Monday (plus it was my gf’s birthday yesterdy so no games allowed!  :-D )
