16L G40 nerquen (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies) Balanced mode (-4 allied NOs)


  • please use the 2nd post, bombers that attacked archangel land in Smolensk, I believe you were not planning yet as the first post is not downloaded either.


  • @Gamerman01:

    If Axis aren’t feeling great after round 5, they’re probably in big trouble  :-D

    hmm Europe actually does not look that bad now… the previous turn it started looking desperate, you had 5 TT’s in the reach of N Europe… I barely managed to protect it, now when you started harassing Italians, pressure on Germany is significantly lower and I can pressure Moscow again


  • Yeah, and the dice suck
    I might have been counting on those 2 USA fighters, but then sent them East  :-P
    I was counting on a bomber buy and everything.  We’ll see what you can do.  Don’t count on me running away with the Russians though.  Maybe all the luck turns around in one big battle.  Or maybe I just keep losing planes to 4% battles  :roll:

    I was glad to see the US fighters flying back… I am curious what you will come up with the Ruskies now

    hehe, that is brave, I will see what my options in G7 will be… but looking on my supply lines and your Russian economy… not sure I can count on any better odds in the future…


  • Nice move - you snuck up on me and I got caught defending Ukraine and then neglected the Russians on US turn.  Will come down to dice?  I haven’t looked yet…

    well, if you move all into Moscow I will have around 60% I believe, which is  pretty much a coin toss…


  • 51%.  I’m going to buy 2 AA guns


  • @Gamerman01:

    51%.  I’m going to buy 2 AA guns

    nasty :( , and people are complaining about AAs being overpriced, you keep using them pretty strongly against me (starting with 2 planes shot down in Java)


  • That’s right  :-)
    I was actually the one who talked Larry down from 6.  He was just going to leave them the same as before, when he made the big rule change.

    wicked… you destroyed my nice 60% odds… not good


  • You’re a nice guy
    I can’t say any more or it’ll start helping you  :-P
    I sure did flub by flying 2 USA fighters east, though.  And you made a great move in response, that’s all there is to it
    Maybe you saw it coming clear back on Japan’s turn, because you moved the sub away from Z5?  :|

  • need your scramble decision @ hawaii. Lets see how does marines really are. As per the Jap sub… sure, sounds as a good compliment but that was not the reason… Japan just needs to focus on self survival rather than helping Germans… but at least Hawaii shall be mine now!


  • Barely holding onto last victory cities in both theaters - that’s never good
    OK, let’s see here


  • Don’t scramble

  • Marines proved to be a good purchase, can’t be said about mine mech units in China though… I would execute them myself if they survived, for what they showed in Burma… still in my eyes  Japan is doing better than expected given their rather dwarf economy… I think I just recorded my ever first capture of New Zealand :)


  • It takes time for economic changes to make much difference unless you’re on defense like Russia.  You don’t play enough if you’ve never taken NZ before - play more A&A!  :wink:  First time I’ve held all 4 money islands like this and then lost New Zealand….  :-D

    Needed the stand in Burma… after my 3 aircraft all got smoked, and after Yunnan and Shan? fell with a whimper
