XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

Let him do an alamo in india.  It requires his full russian airforce, and even then he can’t hold it.  Sure, it will cost Japan her whole airforce, but Russia without an airforce means all those pretty units she bought become useless.  I’m pretty sure that without Russia’s airforce, Russia will fall quite quickly.  Plus, Japan will still have India, even if it is with no airforce left.  USA and ANZAC can’t get India back, even if they can get the money islands out of the exchange.  I think I’d just push for a European victory in that case….

not true, I was very sad to lose my destroyer…  and i keep losing destroyers twice per round down there since he keeps hitting the ones i send in to kill his, and then killing the ones i send to block

actually, i was quite surprised to calculate the the usa has enough navy to kill my whole navy right now…  I had thought I was ahead in that regard even after that anzac fleet mishap.  I guess I need to build another carrier next round, assuming he doesn’t go alamo and leave me with no airforce.

I glanced at the map, but will have to play later today.

@Cow:

hahaha I been noticing the destroyer exchanges. Well you got a USA national objective taken away from him. Sub lurks midway. Tough turn for USA.

I been thinking of throwing 2 german bombers at the russian fighter and tactical. I am a gambler type so little things like that are super tempting.

Don’t gamble away our victory…. Why take major risks when you are winning?

I see some UGLY suprises this turn for Japan.

Like 3 us bombers at Shensi.  And the entire collapse of the western front in China.  Leaving china EMPTY, save it’s mechanized forces in Yunnan.

Liberation of London this turn is going to be an LOL for cow too…  especially how recovering it will be BLOCKED,  and even if it’s “recaptured”  the costs that will have on the eastern front…

Man, what happend Dairy Qyrn?  I thought you guys had this?!?!

Especially with Seth’s luck! :P

Shenshi is only 15%

If Seth makes that…. I demand a “French” BB… hahahaha

Not hitting Shensi  :-P

Might try for London  :wink:

Actually, I forgot that your fighter scrambling could stop the brits. So I can’t 1-2 punch, I’ll have to do something else then. I don’t know if you’ll like it.  :-D

Verq, you’re a tricky little punk. Pulling your navy out of sz39 so I would collect right before India fell. Ah well it held out till turn 8, even with bad luck with the Chinese and quick Japan expansion thanks to US commitments to the Atlantic side of the board. It was the best I could ask for and holding out that long gave me the shot I still have of pulling a win out of all this. The Aleutians is a diversion and I traded one NO for the other.

I was willing to sacrifice USSR air earlier when the odds were better, but not when you have such good odds of surviving with as much as you would’ve. Better to keep the air to help keep Moscow in the game and use my India stack to delay/deter you from going west. India falling would’ve left me with nothing to keep your mech forces from rolling towards the middle east. You could still do so at the cost of a pac win as you’ll have to commit too much in that direction to have any chance of getting another VC, at least in the next 3-4 turns.

Germany faces a tough choice about what to do with the Americans now that they have a decent foothold in France. I figured I’d wait for better odds in UK as I can’t wait 2 turns to bring more troops over to try again. I have much better odds now, so I’ll take it. You could keep England from falling for another turn if you really wanted to. But any naval commitment will be blasted out of the water. Plus anything you put in UK could just be trapped there. And the threat should divert some pressure from USSR. The clock is ticking, the game hangs in the balance, what will happen now? You both still have the advantage still, but one false step or one battle could quickly reverse the fortunes of this game.

If it’s alright with you guys, I’d like to use this map instead. The only changes are switching my US tac purchase to a fighter and keeping it in Wfra and then changing an inf in WUS to an arty instead.
