14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +15)

  • 12

    @Boldfresh:

    @wheatbeer:

    I guess the Soviets are locked in somewhat (for now) due to German strength and the front being closer to Moscow.

    Japan and the US really dictate the game.

    and Germany of course.  Germany can throw a whole lot of weight around.

    it appears the german is conceding london though, so i guess germany has decided to continue full on moscow assault and shore up western europe.

  • 15 14

    Which finally is the right step to decide the game (IMO) :-)

    I’d still say it will be a decision in favor of the Axis but maybe Bold will have some surprise moves in his pocket. I have no doubt he will have some:-)

    i usually have a surprise or two in my pocket.  shoring up western europe is going to be much harder than it sounds JDOW.

    wheat, looking at the map, it appears i have possibly forgot to move a bunch of russian infantry from moscow to bryansk - doesn’t look right.  let me investigate.

  • 12

    yeah, i definitely did.  i think i meant to move all 18 of the infantry that were in moscow to joint the forward stack in bryansk.  had you noticed?  did it affect your japanese move at all?

  • 12

    yeah with that big moscow stack, i just forgot to move the infantry forward.  dunno if it was shellshock from the italians ripping me or what but i definitely intended to move those infantry forward.  i highly doubt it affected your japanese move so i will start planning the allies and wait to hear from you.

  • 17

    I assumed that you intended to defend Bryansk with US air reinforcement.

    But it makes no difference to Japan for this turn.

  • 12

    I hope im not forgetting somethin I was thinking at the time but I dont think there is any reason to leave a ton of inf in moscow.  Air on the ab is the way to go.

    We’ve built 8 air/naval bases between Holland, Midway, Wake, Java, SE Mexico, Tobruk, and Spain. That’s pretty amazing. Also 5 mIC if you count the one lost to China.

    I built 6 of the 8.  Hope I can make good use of them.

  • 17

    I am noticing some possible errors.

    One, I am certain is an oversight: the UK units in China.

    The others, you may or may not be unhappy about if I exploit, so I encourage you to take another look at the map and confirm that you’re happy with the NCM. I don’t want to have to deal with retroactive changes since both halves of the map are increasingly interrelated.

  • 17

    Didn’t mean to sound so gruff  :lol:

    I don’t want you to end up regretting the turn or consider a mistake game-ending, but I also don’t like to show my hand by pointing out Axis opportunities either.

  • 12

    I did move quickly and yes at least forgot uk in china AGAIN.  Let me take a look.  Perhaps 91 fleet underdefended or other possibilities.  Will try to look tonight.  In a flurry to get off for the holidays flying out friday.

  • 17

    Speaking of which, I’ll be out of town for Christmas between the 23rd and 27th (give or take, depending on weather).

    I may be able to post a turn or two anyways, but not 100% sure.

  • 12

    Other than uk noncoms I am missing it as of this glance.  Will have to look closer.

  • 12

    i admit i have had a hectic week and there was some time between my russia move and the japanese move.  however i still do not see imminent victory for axis.  unless you are looking several turns ahead and can that if i don’t do something this turn i will surely lose at least 2 moves from now.  as i understand it, you have to take 2 of 3 of kwangtung, kiangsu, and hawaii and hold them for a full turn.  as i see it, you cannot get enough to either chinese territory certainly this round, where i cannot efficiently take back.

    ie europe, you must take volgo and hold it for a full round.  i also do not see this occurring in the next two rounds.

    at this point, i would just move the uk in china….  am i staring at imminent defeat and looking straight through it??

  • 12

    obviously you are referring to how i’m handling china and taking all air out of the pacific i guess.

  • 12

    with as much as you can get to china and hawaii in a matter of 2 turns, i guess i probably cannot afford to exit the pacific with all the USA air.  i will have to run some major calcs i guess…  :|
