Is there any movement you wanted to make with France?

Scramble in 110 sz?

SS are staying or submerging?

[gamerman01]

Whoops - thanks - I was distracted while playing and must have forgot them
Will answer all your questions now…

[gamerman01]

I wanted to move the Frenchman to Egypt and 2 infantry to the USA transport in 91

Subs fight
Fighter scrambles

Lose subs before destroyers, destroyer before fighter

But if you have 2 subs to my 1, I want to be asked again

Edited file attached - has the 2 French movements

@Gamerman01:

Whoops - thanks - I was distracted while playing and must have forgot them

No Problem. I would not have posted my combat move if any French activity would have been involved.
I would have asked before.

I also request if we can talk about Ger 4 and Ger5 after my turn either before or after Russia turn.
Ger 4 + 5 is where I have my main issue with since those turns decide if and how fast Germany is able to crush mosqwa.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

My question is how am i as Germany doing.
I feel the Impression to previous games that I am too slow to getting to moscow.

Is there any improvement or am i doing fair?

[gamerman01]

I’d say you’re doing more than fair, AeV.  Not sure if you’ll be able to get by my Russians any time soon or not, but listen.

You don’t need to get to Moscow fast, I have learned.

You have bought way more tanks and less mech than most players do, but I’m not strongly criticizing that.  Maybe you could buy a few less tanks.  You probably bought a little much naval and air - again, nothing wrong with buying some, but most players would go with a little more ground.  You might actually be paying a little too much attention to the West.  Of course everyone has different styles and strategies, but I think it’s sound strategy to make the Western Allies start landing, make them come in.  Like the spider to the fly - invite him in a little.

I think you need to improve your Italy logistics a bit.  Try to line it up so that your transports can keep moving units to North Africa/Middle East, and keep threat on Egypt.  It was too easy to defend Egypt for several turns, I think.

Of course, most players will ram into your fleet on UK1 and I didn’t this time.
Also, few players will buy as many luxury items with Russia as I have, and it may bite me (2 bombers already)

But yes, you’re playing well - keep it up.  If it wasn’t so late here, I’d move now, but it’ll have to wait a bit…… Hopefully during the day Saturday before I have to leave

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

You don’t need to get to Moscow fast, I have learned.

Just make sure the Russians don’t get to push back and go on a major offensive at any time.  THAT is the main objective for Germany concerning Russia, I do believe.  Sh, don’t tell everyone all my secrets  :wink:

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Thank you Gamerman01,

Loosing thirteen games in row is hard. Sometimes you know where you have messed up, sometimes you apolgize the loss with bad dice.
I may claim that most games went down for loosing important battles.
But doubts still come up that you might think: “maybe, maybe your strategy is not good enough”

Playing against Yoshi and JWW was a major breakthrough and eye opener because they have their own style, allways one step ahead, and prepared for any Situation, creative, aggressive.
If they loose a game, then they found equivalent opponets or better or just got diced!

Right now I’m just happy to be taken care of by you .

In this League there are many good Players. It is fun and joy to play against them.
I will find my rythym. Thank you for your advise so far.

[gamerman01]

Awesome, and my pleasure
You’ll start getting wins soon, I am sure of it
