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.
XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

Cow, lemme know what you think of this turn:
if you like it, i’ll do it
otherwise, suggest me something else
-
up 2 you, but if you are going to block with destroyers you may as well take dutch new guinea.
-
Cowthenewb!
-
well maybe not… idk if you have to block hard to calculate what kamikaze’s will do. Yes it is fine for japan tod ot his… very conservative but that is ok.
-
forget i said anything about new guinea.
Shouldn’t you be placing units in japan though? so you can be most baller on hawaii?
-
ah I c what you are doing, you want to be most baller on caroline islands next turn and stage your assualt from there.
-
yeah gogogoogogogog.
-
Why aren’t you discussing this stuff via PM? lol…
-
cos WE CRAZY. CRAZY! YOU DON’T KNOW ME HOMIE.
-
Why aren’t you discussing this stuff via PM? lol…
shhhhh :wink:
And for what it’s worth, I have a couple issues with it . . . . you’re building too much navy. Instead, I suggest dropping like 10+ dudes in Japan starting now, so you can get ahead of the curve for when the allies reverse their fortunes. There’s no A-bomb in this game, so you can pretty much ensure that the Japanese empire will remain in effect in one form or other if YOU ACT NOW! move all your aircraft and navy to sz6/Japan and that’ll seal the deal.
-
nah seth, we got to go for the pacific win. you in position to take an income lead sooner or later. europe is too shaky.
-
Not that it’s relevant to Japan, but I did seriously consider liberating Paris this turn. I have two brit transports that could hit N.Italy and the US ones in z91 could take W.Ger. Maybe if I’d had some troops coming in next turn, but I need a US foothold in Europe since UK doesn’t look like it’ll be freed soon.
And yeah, game neutral is my goal, but Italy came first in my book. Without UK I don’t have the resources to fight a protracted battle for the middle east/med. So killing the Italian navy and then spamming subs seemed like the cheapest long-term solution to the med front. I like my strategy over the next couple of rounds. But we’ll see what Germany does, because that could change.
-
it is pretty obvious japan has to go for the win, because if he doesn’t more american purchases in europe will be very bad for me.
-
well you would have to win all 3 battles to liberate france and even then italy has a small counter attack so need more than a few dudes to survive.
-
Yeah, that was the conclusion I reached as well. I normally wouldn’t have even considered it, but let’s face it. . . I have to take a couple of risks here and there and hope for the best. Knowing this, I took a careful look at it and considered what I had, what you had, and how I could move my pieces to get what I needed. And yea, way too risky and the payoff wasn’t worth it. Especially since I’d pretty much kill every US ground pounder in the process and it’d take me at least two turns to get more in there as the factory would be French. And I’m not really in position to ship massive troops into Europe at this point either.
-
yeah killing tobruke so ruskies can have the income seems wise. was kind of hoping you would do it so i could get italy in the fight instead of being forced to turtle it.
-
europe seems to have stabilized, but the pacific will be a tough cookie for you.
-
I had to stabilize one side of the map first and Europe seemed the place to do it. And yeah, I was planning on strafing/killing Tobruk with the Brits. That’s why I asked earlier about a partial retreat from an amphib assault. So was that Japan’s official turn now that it had your blessing? Or is verq going to post the real one? No rush, just curious.
-
haha there are lots of viable plays for japan, this is one of them. It is not gambit, but rather a solid push, which is good.
-
I did not run the calc for two turns from now with japan, not sure if this will end up a mexican standoff or not. I am hoping that won’t be the case. It is kind of simple, I go all in the same round japan does, if Japan has say 70% and I got 20%, those are good odds for axis to win on either side with. If it can improve then we wait, if it can’t improve we go.
Most axis and allies games ultimately lead up to this.
