I forgot to post the US turn; which was largely inconsequential. But it doesn’t matter; I’m going to go ahead and concede. You’re going to take and hold Stalingrad for sure, and possibly even Moscow with the WG bombers, and Japan is a juggernaut I can’t contend with.

So, I know I made a bunch of mistakes but I have to go back through the game log to remember what they were haha. Any thoughts off the top of your head regarding how I could improve as Allies?

[MrRoboto]

Thanks for the game. I hope you still had fun, even though you lost.

Off the top of my head, I know you made 2 huge errors on each theatre.

In Europe, you tried to block me in round 5, forgetting that Italy can remove that sole blocker. Always beware of that. That did cost you Europe, which actually wasn’t looking so bad for you.

In Pacific, you left a small fleet at SZ54 in round 3, giving me a huge opportunity to efficiently trade. I had +29 TUV in that battle, but more importantly: I killed an anzac Transport, slowing your advance there greatly.
Sure, you had +37 TUV on your counterattack, but I didn’t care, because I lost 0 transports and had myself +45 TUV the next round, killing another transport in the process (this time a US one).

That sealed the deal, you couldn’t recover from that. Your goal is to trade the Islands with Japan, cause in the long run Japan can’t keep up with that.

[TheShrike]

Thanks! Yeah my Pacific execution especially needs work. I absolutely had fun. Hope for a rematch in the future.

[MrRoboto]

Have you reported the game yet?
