Soulblighter (axis) vs Variance (Allies +9)

[variance]

Uggh.

[variance]

just hoping for good dice now……

[variance]

Oh well.

[variance]

here go with this.  it will buy me some time maybe.  :cry:

[variance]

I don’t know what to do at this point.  This one is my FINAL try.

[Guest]

This is the second time I moved my german fleet into the pacific. Both times it creates a situation the allies have a hard time dealing with. My only bad was that I forgot that 125 connects with norway. Which messed things up for Germany. Fortunately it was the US that controls it and the US needs every penny in the pacific.

I don’t mind ncms etc after the fact. I do them myself as well. However I am wondering what all these files are. I hate having to go over all of them. So can you summarise the differences?

[variance]

I just moved all the planes to hawaii and the surface ships to z12, with a blocker in z30.  I figure I might as well save those ships rather than trade them for subs  :|

What’s hard about your German fleet in the Pacific is that it can can opener just about anything, plus it could be taken as fodder if the US attacks your combined fleet.  I don’t think you would ever get Russia this way because you spend too much on fleet and no ground forces, but its a very strong strategy for a Pacific win.  You came up with a good one.

I haven’t played many games yet. In another game I took India with the kriegsmarine :mrgreen:. Ofcourse I first took it with Italy, but the bloody Italians were unable to hold it.

[variance]

well this game’s not quite over yet.  you still have to build some transports and some ground units if you want Hawaii and Russia might help the Chinese get a VC.  Buying time.

[Guest]

True. Al tho the downside for the Russians are the high amount of minor ics and groundforces I have running about.

[variance]

yes that’s true, but you have to start spending money on stuff to get Hawaii.  navy won’t help you do that.  if I hadn;t screwed up my build I should have built fighters to fly in there but oh well live and learn.

[Guest]

I made ample mistakes as well. Forgetting 125 connects with norway, forgetting to move the bloody italians t1 (the ones in Africa). Both of which might end up costing me the game. Spending some money on infantry is never an issue. On a sidenote. All you changed was ncms. So are you still waiting for approval?

[variance]

unless you want to let me change my build too.  :-)

[variance]

china and U are done too.  I called it USA by mistake.  I shouldn’t try to play the game when I’m at work - the job is too distracting  :wink:

[variance]

so go Italy….
