Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

@Credulous:

Actually we went for SZ109 when we realised Elrood had got his Maths wrong….

I had pretty much finished my go as well, but I remembered a horrible incident when I relied on my team mate’s maths not so long ago…

Only one battle involved dice, and I got a worse result the second time (New Britain), so hopefully ok.

Cred

But i think giving Germany 60% would have been good. I read from an experienced player that Allies (UK / US) should bait Axis with 70% battles throughout the game…

1. If they lose one at 30% then they are pretty much done
2. even if they win they probably invested so much that east front suffers - Moscow holds that turn longer

I am not sure what you mean, Elrood. I recognise 91 could be attacked and I could even have lost, but I take that small risk. No battle  on the board is certain.
I did not want to lose my fleet, but accept it is a possibility. I recognise by investing in fleet, I have built a monster and it needs feeding (or hiding). The game is won in Rissia, ultimately. Bit I like a  Fleet for the threat it provides (although I have no TT now) and how it defends Wedtern Europe too. I won’t change!

That J1, means Xhina is on the game. I hate that!

@Credulous:

Hi Seb - are you swapping mechs and art for 2 more DDs as well?

M

Yes, my liege!

Sorry for all the edits… I must say playing Allies requires quite an effort on aligning strategies.

While Axis are nicely divided to Europe and Asia, the Allies must really put their heads together to make sure their strategies and moves work out fine. Else they will be picked off by axis one by one.
See how good it was that UK / China and Russia worked together in China against Japan. Would not be possible if they were divided to to different players who don’t plan together…
