@JDOW said in 2017 LEAGUE TITLE FINAL. JDOW (Allies+13) vs JuanSpain. BM3:
Wow, I am very very happy I made it!
Thanks for the kind words Juan, as usually you have been an extremely strong opponent, great gentlemen, and great sportsman!
I admit, I kind of disagree that resigning without trying to attack sz54 is any kind of present. An attack at sz54 had 83% odds but would have been 100% ill-advised and a 100% route for Japan to a rapid demise. I have set up a counter-attack with 9 bombers, 10 figs, 1 tac, 1 sub and 1 carrier that would smash every unit that would survive the 54 attack at 100% odds and that would have come with a huge TUV gain.
And after that Japan would have been nowhere close to get India, Hawaii or Sidney and I believe a Japanese VC victory would have been impossible even in case the Germans would have tried to rush India.
In my opinion, in case you would have wanted to try a hail mary attack you could have tried it in Europe:
- Italy attacks Turkey and Germans hope for a miracle when attacking Greece at 22% odds.
Or you don’t scramble at sz97 and try an 1/2 attack on my fleet in 99.
sz54 was imo the worst spot on the map for a desperation attack.
In hindsight, you made some decisions in Europe that really surprised me. If you like I could provide you with some of my thoughts on that.
But for now, I will celebrate and drink another glass of Champagne, cheers :-)
Happy new year to you, my friend and all the spectators of this thread.
Best regards,
Tobias
Many thanks! I enjoyed a great night and am now just getting up!
Please send those comments re Europe on a private message, I really appretiate them and will learn frlm them for sure, it will be my second present.
Re the combat, yeah, it was a very remote possibility, something like making around 40 hits overall to you and recieving only 25 defense hits and thus saving 5 carriers, 10 planes, a destroyer, 2 cruisers and 2 damaged battleships. I saw a 16 vs 1 hit once in a large balanced battle against me (vs Mr Roboto 2014 or 15), so not impossible and on other circumstances I would have waited to see that outcome.
All the best in 2019 to everyone!
Keep playing!
Juan
