Just a year ago! Thanks for pointing out, I did miss that link to an important place.
It’s like a rip in the cloth of space and time!
Well, that was fun.

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.

A draw would’ve been ok with me as that would leave no fighter to stop the Brits. :wink:

What’s the ruling on amphibious assaults that also have ground forces coming from an adjoining territory? Can the ground forces retreat if the amphib portion of that attack is dead?
-
yes
-
I’ll have to do my turn later even if you are doing Germany now. I’m curious about what Germany will do.
-
Hmm, you hit sz112 and Normandy. I’m still not entirely sure how to read those rolls when there’s that many dice, so I’m not entirely sure about the casualties. You retreated after 1 round in Normandy though, so hopefully that’s a good sign. And my little destroyer got to paint 2 Nazi swastikas as it sank. So that’s great. :-D

I want to say 4 to 4 hits . … maybe? I dunno

it was so I wouldn’t have to xport as many to london to hold it.
Veqryn is going to hate the amount of gambling I am doing.
-
so for you to liberate france, you need to get france west germany and northern italy. shooka shooka. london is still london, but all my air is there and my bombers so you can go for it :)
-
All that stuff stranded in UK . . . I might not take it at all. US will be establishing themselves in Norway and look to rack in some nice income next turn. Or maybe France . . . I dunno.
I have some time to make a move as I’ve been doing some household chores. But I’d feel rushed if I were to do my move now and don’t want to risk making a costly mistake. And I want to take advantage of the last few hours of daylight left to me.
-
yeah I don’t know how long you can make a nice income with usa there. If you do nothing, it is not hard for me to kick you out and it requires upkeep of at least 3 infantry purchase in normandy. Allows russia to beef up, but I don’t need to take russia, I just need volgograd and egypt, but you have lots of mech/armor.
You forced me into this position, so I am making the best of it, in the long run I will be fine. I am taking the longview now.
-
Veqryn is in a great position for this game. Lots of options. Can charge for new south whales and go for hawaii at the same time. Could go for africa. Could do many things. Further the sino russian campaign and get more income up top as well. Lots of stuff n things to do. Plus no more transports from you except from anzac so japan won’t need to block you.
I am looking at western australia and that is so tempting. take back phil, drop 6 on western australia which cuts anzac off the bonus. fly all his air there drop an air base… then kill everything then blam pacific win.
I am not japan so I don’t want to calc everything out… but couple this with naval purchases off of japan in range of hawaii… we are talking about a serious attempt at pacific victory with really good odds.
So I don’t know how much more investment you can drop in europe.
I am not sure if Veqryn is going to go for the win or expand. I am not japan, but I would go for the win. Then again africa is wide open, then again europe is kind of iffy.
Japan has a slight edge in naval as of right now, but he buys before you so yeah… that is not good for usa.
He can use his advantage for either expansion or for a victory rush. This is a player call, but when I eyeball it, looks like a pacific rush should win it for us. Veqryn has to run all the necessary calcs as far as the new south wales thing goes.
The nice thing about western australia is it cuts anzac off of his bonus. keeps anzac at 9 ipc a turn.
Now that I think about it… I should have brought 2 bombers over with germany so you can’t block him sigh.
No matter :)
-
germany is messy but will stabilize sooner or later.
TUV is close even after russia goes. Unit count is close. Axis income advantage.
-
This game is probably going to come down to the pacific.
dutch new guinea is not a bad spot for japan either. Merge japan fleet in carolines and bam serious threat to either VC. Japan does not need to block usa with dds or anything in the upcoming rounds either, so you will be trading dds for subs most likely if you have to block japan.
Japan has so many options to pursue victory and/or expansion.
