Wittman (Allies +6) vs. Entek (Axis) 14L Rnd 2

[Witt]

Excuse my editing the 3 Ground units from Western US to S France.
I inadvertently placed them them with the other units, when they were built for S France’s defence. No dice had been rolled, but it was after China’s go.
I think you can see that is why I bought them. (Is only one TT built in the Pacific.)
Was rushing. Please say if this is unacceptable.

[Entek]

I’ll give.  Fun game.  I need to take my time to build up more before attacking.

[Witt]

I am sorry, but you are probably correct.
One observation: buy fewer Tanks and more Inf. I love the cheap units.
Thank you for the two games; you are a great sport. Have loved talking to you too.
Hope everything works out  for you.

[Entek]

Thanks for the advice.  It’s way different on here than playing in person.  In person we would usually buy lots of tanks for Germany and rush for Moscow.  That doesn’t work here.

[Witt]

I suppose I meant for Japan too. I think a mix is best.
As Japan, If I have two ICs: I buy 3 Mech at the further away one and Inf and Art at the closer one. I always buy DD and TT for Japan too. You always need to threaten the West Coast or drop off Asia.
I am not the best as the Axis, but I have played a lot of people here.
Russia is the key, but grabbing the Oil money works better, once Russia retreats all to Moscow. Need to starve Russia of income.
You are lucky to play with a group. Friends are everything.
Again, thank you for your time.
