Caesar1 (Axis) and Private Panic (Allies) play Balanced Mod

[Caesar1]

I was posting before this

@Private:

Sorry Caesar - does something not look right with J’s order of loss?

Or, since I lost despite the odds and good first set of dice, perhaps you are suggesting that I did not take my own casualties to best effect?

Initially I did try to protect sufficient US carriers for some of my planes to land, as at that point I thought I would win the battle with a considerable fleet remaining. Clearly I should have been less cocky!

I haven’t read anything about the battle! Only the final

:wink:

Ha! I did e-mail you, but got the wrong triple a opponent’s -mail address. He replied very seriously and I fought he battle according to his casualty guidance! Oh well - it seems to have worked well for you! I am not sure he has realised yet it was not his battle!

Yes - the policy was maximum defence.

Never give up! Never surrender!

[Caesar1]

Excellent move with Russians, this was a big mistake for me! The show must go on  :-D

[Private-Panic]

I doubt it will delay your victory overmuch Caesar ……  :-(

However, if I had won that sea battle off the Carolines - where I had the advantage - that might have been a different matter …  :cry:

Regaining India (temporarily!) is something, but otherwise it feels like retreat on all fronts! :-(

[Caesar1]

Sorry I was out for the weekend. India was a mistake because I expected only a strife in the battle vs the russian armours and mechs.
However, it is an obvious ending for now since you spent a lot of IPC’s with UK Europe to retake Calcutta. To see if this is the best choice we have to wait the end of the match.  :? :wink:
