Ha, I forgot your German bomber there in Indo.

Game over. You’ll nuke the US fleet.

Interesting game. It was over I think 2/3 rounds back when it was apparent the Axis could basically block any allied move. Like I’ve said this sitting on the butt strategy is very vexing. The bomber strategy is more gimmicky and dicey. While this strategy is really insidious. Maybe a game breaker.

feel free to change your fleet back to carolines. i thought maybe you were just taking a chance, in case the bomber missed and you got lucky with your dd. just redo that noncom

well it’s not really a sitting on the butt strategy, but more like a gradual expansion and continual consolidation. i have a very defensive style as you can see, whereas many players start abandoning japan as soon as the pressure really mounts, and then go all balls into europe, hoping to interfere in a big enough way to allow for a euro VC win (or vice versa, if euro axis is under too much pressure they’ll thrust their units over to aid japan in a pac VC win). still other players like to go at russia really aggressively, conceding much of western europe and norway to the allies in the process.

Nah, game is over. It was over awhile back.  The loss of the Middle East was a turning point along with not hitting Japan when it stumbled. I think opening the neutrals was an error. Anyhow, as I say, this Axis defense strategy is super hard to crack.

Plus you were at the helm of the strategy. You managed to accurately block almost every advance. There was NEVER an opening for the Allies in this game, which makes me wonder if this strat is a game breaker. Sure, I could just be a bad player, but aside from you hitting the UK fleet in the Med, we never engaged in any major battles at all. The game was 90% maneuver and little battles. The Normandy one was already after the turning point IMO.

this was definitely the best i’ve seen you play against me. you were applying pressure every chance you got on all the edges of my empires…japan really struggled but finally got back on its feet. boy what a mistake not putting up a factory in manchuria! you really made me pay for that!

i was really concerned about possibly losing my gains in the middle east while i tried pushing back up against russia to hole them up again…so i decided to stack a huge threat upon india, hoping it’d convince you to either abandon it or call in your tanks to reinforce. while that drew attention onto japan, i felt japan could handle such pressure while germany continued to build up a stronger presence there in the middle east. it really freed germany to push up hard against russia without consequences in the middle east.

“Sitting on the butt” is a reference I think to Waterloo and what Napoleon thought of Wellington’s defense strategy. It’s a compliment.
