G40 Gauss_Death (allies +18) vs Lebowsky (Axis)

[Gauss_Death]

Wow, I completely expected to suffer a loss there. The AAA really did a number on you (should have been 1.5hits, not 3). The rest of the rolls were more or less average until the last round which had a slight bump over average for the Brits.

I think the AAA is what got you.

[lebowsky]

Told you I didnt like the odds. Made a mistake with italians, not killing french navy and needed a little more to kill them that would give me the win in London.

I really dont like sea lion, usually the odds are not that high, at least with this strategy of not building anything G1, maybe with another start its better (2 bombers + sub or the usual carrier + 2 transports)

In 1940 Europe I’ve only seen Sea Lion used once (on turn 2).

[lebowsky]

This is only viable if UK build almost nothing in londos and lost RAF on scrambles, other way its not viable

[lebowsky]

I did a mistake with japan too, by not filling the carriers on hainan, I meant to but didnt see lol

[Gauss_Death]

Right, I was just indicating my lack of experience with Sea Lion

Ok its game over, too much fail for me lol!

We can try another one if you want ;)

Yeah, that was a string of luck for me.

Ok, shall we start with the same premise bid and sides and just start over? See if I can improve my strategy?

[lebowsky]

Ok for me, but if you want to change sides its ok too ;)

[Gauss_Death]

No, I need to learn how to better protect the UK. Lets just call this a ‘trial run’ and do a reset to the start of the game.

Will you make a new thread or keep this one?

Will do a new one, doing it now!
