Well I think that’s game unless you somehow miraculously take India and the dice greatly favor you.  Let me know if you are gonna go for it or concede.  Either way its been a great game!

@max334:

I see its a legal win, but its like a technicality. Dont understand the logic

What part is a technicality?  For the axis to win they need control of 6 victory cities on the Pacific side or 8 victory cities on the Europe side.  Do you not understand those victory conditions or do you not agree with them?  Just curious.

@max334:

I said i don’t understand the logic behind it. You could be close to victory in all other respects but an unsuspecting or unalert player could easily miss such a sucker punch. Maybe if i understood the logic behind the victory conditions on the Pacific side it would be easier to swallow

Well its the same concept for the Europe and Pacific side.  Control victory cities.  For the Axis control causes a win condition.  For the Allies control of these cities prevents a win.  The Allied victory conditions involve capturing capitals which is much harder to do so they need to keep control of the victory cities to keep the economic domination thus causing the Axis to concede under the weight of the economic disparity.  You need to stay mindful of that on both sides of the map.  Pouring all of the US income on one side allows one of the axis powers to grow unchallenged.  You had a good Russian strategy to help china.  I think if you had invested more with the US in the pacific it would’ve helped keep Japan form expanding so much.  Had I not lost my German air force in the med so early on you would’ve never gotten the Greece factory.  You also did not have alot of protection for your transport fleets but you got away with it because of my lack of air force.  I think you spread yourself out to much with all your transport landings.  I would’ve tried to land in mass at a spot I could hold.  And then start the ground war.  That would’ve been very tough for Germany.  As it stands now Germany can hold you off indefinitely and eventually they would work there way back to Moscow.  Also the next phase for Japan would’ve been taking all Russian territory to the east thus taking away Russia’s income.  It was a good game, I learned some stuff I hope you did too.  Do you know how to post the result in the league results thread?

@JDOW:

You just have to go to the game results thread and name the participants, sides they played, who won and the link to the game thread.

I understand it is frustrating to lose such a game being up all together all around the world.

As a note: The VC-rule gives the game more depth as it allows all-in moves by the Axis the Allies need to be aware of. In your game you were just off guard because you weren’t aware of the rules.

Typical all-in moves are Japan giving up the Pacific map and support Germans to take Egypt after they got Moscow.
Another scenario is the Germans take India while Japan takes Hawaii or Sydney.

This is comparable the chess when sacrificing material to get a devastating mating attack.

Thanks for the info JDOW.  Max I can post the result for you if you’d like or you can give it a go yourself. Per JDOW’s instructions above.  The hardest part is linking the game thread.  Let me know if you want help.

@max334:

Yes, pls post for me. It’s too humiliating for me to try. You snuck that one in on me. I can’t believe it, … good game though

Okay I will post.  Good game!  Let me know if you want a rematch.  We can switch sides or stay the same.  Have a good one!
