XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

  • TripleA

    ok go veqryn! do whatever it is you do. tough call with hawaii… 1/5 games instant win, but up to you.

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    Wow…

    Incredible game changes!  The Allies -could- swing the balance back in their favour!

    If Hawaii doesn’t fold THIS turn, The Japanese are going to be HARD pressed to ever take it again.

    7 fighters ready to land from Gilbert Island…

    But 83 IPC’s is a force to be reckoned with.

    I’m fascinated as to see how this turns out!

  • TripleA

    I am not, this just turned into an income game all over again. I am so used to rushing and having games over before round 10, one side either wins or loses clearly.

    I prefer full pacific usa solve pacific first, don’t really need russia with uk pacific and 3 factories in the middle east. uk just spams infantry to hold it. usa matches germany income to hold london. It is a race.

    or with axis I do two races, usually I go for russia, but uk was in the 80% range so I couldn’t pass that up.  Japan saw the opportunity to play conservatively and he did so up until now.

    His last turn was really confusing because he only has 20% for hawaii in the event carolines got dropped. So I am really bummed out here.

    Even though we are still up in tuv unit count and income etc or soon to be up again… the fact that there is no capital battles or final vc showdown for the next 5 turns again, is demoralizing.

    I have to start dropping 1 dd with italy and scrambling 3 fighters or something soon, work italy back in the game, get more germans in the fight, while kicking america out… I would go all out russia, but I believe my odds are really bad on the attack. I could have taken 30% or something (if I bought all bombers then swung in the next turn), but japan was looking like pacific win so I passed that opportunity, which is my regret for this game. In a live game, I would have swung. At the time I wanted to encourage japan to go all in on something, which is what japan usually does and it usually works.

    next game garg, going to show you the small’s big world strategy if I am axis again as long as I can encourage veqryn to go along with it. You will enjoy that madness even more.

    Cow,

    Would you like some good news?

    Even if you don’t manage to defeat Seth, and succumb in the first round.

    This is the tournament of “Extra” death. :)  You’ll get another chance to redeem yourself! :P

    That said, you and V are nowhere near done.  I’m going to get my popcorn ready.

  • TripleA

    yes I have the wild strategies reserved for the loser bracket.

    @seththenewb:

    We can delete the French BB if you want or maybe you’ll get an Italian one?

    thanks, I’m deleting it.

  • TripleA

    no keep it, it is funny.

  • Customizer

    cow, tell me what you think about this savegame.

    my placements will be 1 sub and 1 transport off french indo china
    the rest off japan

    usa has 40% off hawaii next turn, so i am not sure if i should let seth dice me again or not.  maybe i should just retreat to caroline islands instead with everything?
    please also double calc that battle for me, I don’t want to have missed some unit of his that can destroy me when this is all done.

    thx,
    veqryn

  • TripleA

    there is no point to it, unless you can take it.

    Why not take his national objective away in aleutan islands?

  • TripleA

    also get some inf for india.

  • TripleA

    you don’t need transports if he is not stealing islands from you and you also have to be willing to swing back at it.

    also what is up with the destroyers? global is all about carrier fighter mixes.

  • TripleA

    destroyers are better for attacking strait naval, but don’t put much pressure on taking an island and are not as good on defense.  it is a good buy if you plan to attack strait naval.

    right now you just need enough to sink america/anzac the rest should go to expanding if you are playing income.

    the aleutan island no is 6 ipc you take away from usa, 1 less sub is 1 less sub.

  • TripleA

    I did not calc a hawaii attack, but i assume 2 more units is not going to help

  • TripleA

    but yeah keep putting units out into asia, don’t dump uk pacific survivors onto your europe counterpart, that is japan’s problem coming at me, you got to make up for it by pushing forward and trading units.

  • TripleA

    If you play the income game, do aggressive expansion, that way you don’t dump usa on me.

  • Customizer

    should my land units in india go up to china (ie: back through burma), or should they go towards persia?  or should they just sit there til the stack is a little bigger?  or should I cut them in half like I just did?

    I’ll turn that transport into 1 inf and 1 artillery instead for you.

    so, should i move my fleet to hawaii or not?

  • TripleA

    another strategy if hawaii turns into a fortress and you don’t have the carrier/air/boats to take it is move up to hollywood and stop him from producing naval off of it. I think you lost the naval superioirity to do that at this point.

    I do understand that you need enough to sink usa to maintain a mexican standoff that is favorable for you. (he has to block you instead of you block him).

  • TripleA

    ask yourself what is the point if you can’t take it? there is no point. take aleutan islands.
