looks like germany is hemorrhaging

[gamerman01]

Uh, no
Germany is very strong, despite losing more bombers to 1’s again, as happened early in the game

@axis-dominion:

hemorrhaging to the same extent like “India is a fortress”?

ahh, jdow speaks :)

yes at the time india was a fortress, and shame on axis if they didn’t finally take it by now…

[axis-dominion]

it only took, oh, 17 rounds for japan to finally get around to it…

4. india is a fortress (unsure why he’s not stepping up?)
[…]
after 13 rounds, still no ally capitol conquered…that’s not a good sign for the axis!

So it took exactly FOUR rounds (not 17) to make something which you stated being “a fortress” to end up in complete annihilation which brings us back to what gamer already said about the quality of your judgements of positions.

Yes, I have a totally different strategy than most players.  I have no interest in going after India early or quickly.  I do prefer to take it late and easily.

You’re trolling Me1945, you’re trolling me, it’s not appreciated.

[axis-dominion]

hahaha look at JDOW stirring things up, i love it…

first a lot can actually happen in just 4 rounds, second, it took quite a heavy price to finally smash the indian force and really secure india for the axis; that is, the price of most all of the german garrison in the middle east. he can pretty much kiss the middle east good bye from here on. third, most of my points are still holding.

at least i put myself out there by commenting on the game, instead of waiting for others to comment then trying to poke at one of their points only AFTER several more rounds go by. how about offering your own analysis or commentary on the game thus far? put yourself out there too…or are you concerned someone might poke at your points and you might be wrong and judged as a bad player with poor judgement?

I thought we were talking about me.

Now that’s a fairer post

You can’t take credit for the dice making it difficult to take out the India stack…. it could have gone the other way

In case you hadn’t noticed… the European map could be completely irrelevant.  Of COURSE I took out the Indian stack with the Germans.  I’m just thrilled Ghost didn’t make me do it with the Japanese

You also put too much value on the middle east.  We’ve both convoyed 80 significantly during this game, nullifying much of the IPC value

Too much discussion at this point - let’s see what Ghost does with R18

And by the way, if you were playing Ghost you would be dead by now, so… a little respect please

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

This is for axis-dominion, to be perfectly clear (since blighter squeezed a post in before mine)

[axis-dominion]

gamer, i’m curious, why do you take most of what i’m saying as disrespectful? honestly it’s not intended to be. i’m just commenting on the game. it’s not an ad hominem as you’re taking it to be.

my hemorrhaging comment was actually meant to be funny, because that was my first impression when i opened up the map and saw a big red blotch in the middle of the german empire  :lol:

man you guys are just too serious……

[axis-dominion]

sorry you took it that way, seems like anything i say is going to rub you as disrespectful.

it’s a comment on the game and was meant to support my “fortress” point that india was holding strong for many, many rounds. all fortresses, no matter how strong, do eventually fall with enough pressure and time…so it was with india.

instead of taking it as disrespectful, how about you take it as credit to your opponent for holding out so long, or better yet, credit to yourself for undertaking a different strategy than most do, as you pointed out and i appreciated.

[gamerman01]

Heh - I don’t know if you appreciate something if you don’t say so
I have given lots of credit to Ghost already, and will give a lot more when the game’s over
In defending yourself from me criticizing your analysis, you are attacking my game position and my statements, and apparently you don’t realize it.  Either way, if you’re going to keep commenting on the game, just be more careful please.  Ghost won’t be happy with you either, if he perceives that you are disrupting the integrity of the game

[gamerman01]

Ask Ghost how good I am, after the game is over, or he might tell you now
He appreciates my strategies a lot more than you do, I’m sure, because you’ve never played against them

[axis-dominion]

@Gamerman01:

seems to me, if it is likely completely irrelevant as you say, why in this turn would 23 german fast head westward instead of the other direction to support the japs?

and when did i ever say you’re not good? i think i’d be a dumb person if i claimed or hinted at that. i’m just commenting on how i see the game as it’s developing. i happen to feel the allies are doing great, but that’s just my opinion and judgement, and i’m not afraid to come out wrong on this. i think it’s fun to post observations, sort of like the half-time analysis of sports  :-)

Because the Japs don’t need any support, and I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket.  The Germans are fine

[axis-dominion]

look, we all know by now the game is just not favorable to the allies, so any time we see the allies putting up a decent fight we need to cheer for them, alright?  :-P
