Experimental Alpha 4 Game - Wrongway Corrigan vs. Noll

@zlefin said in G40 OOB zlefin (L+45) v BobbaRossa (X):

I’ll just concede here. Though I still think even if I’d followed Japan more tightly, you’d have been able to get and hold egypt and get all the VCs you’d need for a win anyways. You had enough floating air that I wouldn’t be able to get enough force on any one spot to take it, and you had enough german forces that I couldn’t cover Volg and Russia.

I remain surprrised, because it seems like this kind of scenario should happen more often.

You might be right. Looking back I can see that I was in a much stronger position than it felt like I was at the time. Was also unaware how powerful of a position Samara is in this situation. Though, if you had gotten all of your air into Egypt I wouldn’t have been able to take it with Japan or Italy and would’ve needed the Germans to come down and that probably would have bought enough time for US to ride to the rescue.

Good game! You were really whooping my butt through round 5. I’ve identified a few holes in my Japan strategy to shore up that would have made it smoother, but feel I played Germany pretty close to ideal (for this gambit) and it still wasn’t enough by itself… Do you have any tips on things that could’ve been better (either board)?
