If you pull off Sealion and the US isn’t in the war already or sitting on Gibraltar, they are at least 2 moves away from getting any kind of help to London. Italy should take Gibraltar if they can and block out the Mediterranean. Italy can move troops to the west coast and get into Syria and hopefully Iraq (if Russia hasn’t gotten their first) Then take over Africa. Build London up by 6-10 ipc’s per turn (now there are 6 of any kind of build you made, plus all your air units). US at that point needs to make a hard decision, liberate Europe or kill Japan. Fact is they cant do both. Germany and Japan are making a combined 120-140 ipc’s at that point and Italy can make an easy 30+ with their NO’s running wild in Africa. $ wise, game over, and you didn’t even have to make a move on the US. Still a lot of factors have to be taken care of, like is there still an allied NAVY in the Mediterranean? Does Italy still have any NAVY left? What kind of landing force is left in London. And where is Russia? Can Japan put pressure on Russia? Is Japan bombing the heck out of Calcutta?
Sealion? Is there a perfict set up?

Well, get a load of this game
Germany attacks London and the Russian’s forward stack in East Poland at the same time (out of necessity)
Germany gets good dice and wins both battles, and Axis player resigns in round 4 -

Germany gets good dice and wins both battles, and Axis player resigns in round 4NSW was in axis favor but barely, only 60%.
-
IIRC about 8 battles all had to go the Axis way to win that game, and he got through about 6 of those hoops
To just look at NSW and say 60% is to really oversimplify the situation
-
Wait, let me get this straight (I cannot read AAA-files)…
Germany WON both battles and still gave up (Axis resigned)?
And out of curiousity: why was it a necessity to attack Russia? Eastern Europe otherwise completely undefendable? -

And out of curiousity: why was it a necessity to attack Russia? Eastern Europe otherwise completely undefendable?Yes, you have it straight, Germany won both battles, but with only a tank remaining on London
Eastern Europe was going to be a problem either way. Too bad you can’t look at the file. Maybe you should download Triple A? -
yeah I haven’t used AAA yet. I really prefer the board on the table with the plastic pieces and all. For filereading it might actually come in handy…
-
Yes it would -
-
Been trying to install TripleA but… nvm…
The installer automatically diappears/is removed from my desktop immediately after the download is completed without any form of inteaction. Repeatedly. Possibly a ‘feature’ of my security program but I don’t want to download anything with it turned off, so I guess too bad for AAA…
-
Turn off the security program and download it again. It’s safe.
Or download it from a different computer and transfer the file to your precious one :wink:

I can understand that it was probably your only real chance at winning. If things were too rough everywhere else, then I would of gone for it too.

I was the Allies, in the driver’s seat :-)

Very interesting game. I love the way you attacked Russia at the same time, lol
Although I don’t think I would try a sealion after watching Italy’s turn 1. They got no hits in the first round of combat. Lost their entire air force and navy except 1 TR which was unguarded. That would require more airpower from Germany to support Italy and there is no Italian bomber left to bomb Britain’s airbase. But I still think at this point you could pull it off just very risky based on Italy.
The major problem was when you had Japan declare war on the allies on turn 2. I think keeping USA out of the game would have help you tremendously.
-
Again, it wasn’t me. I was the Allies. :-)

The Axis player was Wheatbeer, one of the most active league players. He usually takes the Axis, and favors Sealion attacks. He usually wins with the Axis. He is currently ranked #1 in the 2014 league, and played in the 2013 league playoffs.
Indeed, he was 30-12 as Axis last year and is 12-3 with them this year.
