@Amon-Sul I finally found time to start our 1st L25 game :-)
Any scramble orders?
GLHF!
19L BM3 Owentoo (X) vs FMErwinRommel (A) NoBid

No scramble… I am not seeing how 7 fighters and 2 TAC Bombers from Novgorod have anywhere to land after attacking Western Germany, besides the 2 carriers which can only receive 4 planes…
-
“General rules” in the notes, says that “All air moved must have a way of potentially being picked up or landing” and that players must enforce that rule, because TripleA does not. You have made an illegal move, with 5 too many aircraft…
-
I purchased 3 CVs for Norway factory. If U.S. gets Norway, it usually is the end of Germany. But in this case, its just a last hurrah, Pickett’s last charge.
-
Ah, I didn’t notice your builds… carry on…
-
1 hit bombard and 10 more. OOL please
-
Max defense, take the AA, Bombers, Inf, Mech, then fighters

Oops, forgot to sink Japanese transport. Will edit that in.

Okay, I concede the game. I had my fun taking W. Ger and Den, but was not in a position or enough power for UK to take Berlin. UKP reinforcements to Yunnan alerted you to my intention to attack Kwantung. It was an education. Although, I’m still not sure how you outmaneuvered me so quickly in Gibraltar and the Med and Japan everywhere. I’m going to have to go back to the first few rounds and see what I can learn for the allies in the future and for the Axis in a second game. The kids and grandkids are coming over through the weekend, so give me until next week to set up the second game. It was a pleasure playing against you.

Thanks! I enjoy your comments throughout the game. It was a good game, and a lot of fun.
I think that your initial aggressiveness against Japan hurt you, and even though you sank some carriers in SZ6 early on, you lost several aircraft, and it (your overall aggressiveness against Japan) diverted your attention and resources from threatening Europe sooner. I think in the game, as in the real war, the Allies are best off using a “Europe first” strategy.
Please post the results in the “Post League Game Results Here” thread, as it is the conceding players responsibility to do so.
Enjoy the family in the coming days. I will look forward to your G1 next week!
