AeV (Axis) defeats StuckTojo (Allies + 18)

Great game by AeV who hung in there despite some very unlucky dice early in the game.

Eventually he won it with VCs in the Pacific, despite Europe being in big trouble.  Personally I’ll never understand how the Allies can lose just because Japan gets a tiny landing force in Hawaii (Victory City rule is ridiculous, in my opinion), but a well deserved win by AeV nonetheless, who recovered from some brutal dice early on that would have overcome most other players.

I agree.  It sucks.  Happened to me in one of my first G40 games, and I vowed never to lose that way again because it sucks.  It is deceptively easy for Japan to win the game, and it is a huge reason the Axis are above .600 for the year.  Still not a fan of Axis victory conditions that are completely independent of the other side of the board.  They should have to have at least 11 total or something like that

I also note that you are 3-3 with the Axis and 2-9 with the Allies
It’s just a lot easier to win with the Axis is all I’m saying.  Maybe try throwing your nets to the other side of the boat
(Not that you have to win to have fun - maybe you prefer taking the Allies)

Is it just me, or is this the problem?  Virtually everyone on here thinks it’s too easy for the Axis to win.  Instead of bids, tweaks, Balanced Mods, etc. maybe the answer lies in simply alleviating the Allies of the burden of having to defend Honolulu as though their lives depend on it (because in 2nd ed. their lives do depend on it).

I say this both for reasons of balancing the game and for historical reasons. Are we really to believe the USA would have simply thrown in the towel, along with the Commonwealth and the USSR, just because a small Japanese landing force managed to briefly take Hawaii?

Just sayin’…. or maybe I’m still smarting from that last squeaker of a loss.  :-D

I agree. It is similar though less extreme the other way around. You can win by controlling Rome even if Germany and Japan are both monsters - just less likely.

SBR rules are too generous for the attacker which also favours axis.

AetV over MrRoboto

Bumped out

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=37642.45

I enjoyed the game and was looking forward to a great time.
Maybe later?!

I have to say: To me this is a very questionable way to claim a win!
You literally bumped Roboto once after 72h and 11 minutes.
Roboto was active on April 25th the last time in your game.

He made a big move against the Japanese fleet recently and the Axis are in big big trouble in that game.

This claim has a very bad taste to me as if you were happy to just claim that win in a position which likely would be lost.

You of course acted within the rules and I don’t know if you guys have any history about delays or so. Still, I felt I wanted to give my 2 cents about this.

Well if you enjoyed it, you didn’t need to post it due to bumping ;-)

Are you finishing it or not?  He left the door open for you, so there’s nothing wrong with posting it.  Do I need to undo the result?

I thought he left the door open if Roboto returns, and if that’s what he meant by “maybe later?” then there is nothing wrong with this
