G40 Adam514 (Axis) vs axis-dominion (Allies+25)

@axis-dominion:

@Adam514:

In general haha, I haven’t lost as Axis in years… Want to continue in the lobby now?

yah, allies just require so much more coordination, you have to make more decisions on where to stack them, and generally are stuck with slower units as the fast ones are too expensive. america is the only nation that can afford a lot of fast, but it’s too darn preoccupied with naval purchases to be able to mass fast.

Yeah every game I have a dilemma about slow or fast units with UK. And whichever decision I make I find that I had not enough of the other unit type  :lol:.

@axis-dominion:

hmm, that doesn’t sound good if you’re asking me that question lol

it wasn’t looking to great, but i think i still have some options left. i finally made a little progress. also, i have a lot of power concentrated in the mid and med.

what are your thoughts??

can’t right now, as my little girl will wake from her nap and wife will be expecting me to look after her. she gets clingy, so i’ll have to be on and off the computer. besides, the situation is complex and i’m more likely to take too long in the lobby or else rush and make a serious mistake (if i haven’t already lol)

No worries. You didn’t necessarily make mistakes, it’s just that the Allies can’t do much if the Axis play correctly. Do you think your chances in this game are still good?

Greece was a good move, pretty much the only thing that could threaten something and at the same time prevent Moscow from falling, but even if I just stay put Axis are making a decent amount more than the Allies, and there isn’t much you can do about that.

@axis-dominion:

said perfectly lol

and i feel like more often than not, whenever i buy fast with russia in the beginning, i so regret it later on (against a good player of course)

Yeah unless it’s fast for African territories and China Russian mechs and tanks are rarely a good idea, assuming aggressive Germany.
