ABH (Axis) vs ShadowHAwk (Allies +40)

Well my Japanese air force is greatly diminished by I have control of my main objectives.  You made it expensive to push out the infantry from mainland Asia.    Let’s see if my flyers made a smart sacrifice for the long-term goals.

Ouch for the raid in W. Germany.

No, I wasn’t worried about my loss of 6 mechs and a tank.  That isn’t a big deal.  I just worry about your loss of the Atlantic forces.

Sure no problem on OOL.

I don’t anticipate fleeing the battle.  I will keep max defense unless there is a 1-in-a-thousand situation in which case I will ask you for orders.  The game is likely over if your fleet is still partially intact and I have lost my entire air force.

You didn’t see the duplicate Graf Zeppelin builds that Hitler has been working on this year.  He sent in orders for construction while you were enjoying your cruise around the Atlantic.

Anyway, your turn for Anzac/France

Well that worked exactly as I had hoped it would.  I needed that strafe to make sure you didn’t have enough forces to attack Bryansk.  Feel free to have taken an infantry instead of AA for casualties in Tambov.

Yeah, I have made that mistake of not counting on carrier builds.  That has cost me a few times when placing a big Allied fleet off of Japan and having eight more planes than expected join the attack.

You are definitely an uber-aggressive opponent.  It has been a while since I have played against someone with such non-stop attacks.  I would hate to see what you could do with a +60 Allied bid.

Yeah, I would not have traded the German fleet + 4 bombers for the Allied Atlantic fleet.  I need those bombers to continue the war against Russia.  With the high spend for those 2 carriers + destroyer last round it did set back my efforts to push eastward.  I will have to be a bit more conservative with the eastern front for a couple of rounds.

I am curious why you keep sacrificing troops + transports for a short term foothold in Europe.  You need to save up enough troops + reinforcing UK fighters so you are not killed on the following round.  I am getting at least 2:1 on those trades in Normandy and Belgium.

Well that makes up for the earlier Sumatra attack  :-D
