@Shin-Ji We both rolled badly in the UK, but luckily for me your bad rolling was slightly worse than my bad rolling!
Yep, that’s game! Well played. Wow. Sealion is a trap! I have to remember that.
(So why have I lost as Allies when Axis did Sealion a few times? AH well).
@Shin-Ji Thanks for the game…I really enjoyed it and not just because I got the win! Was completely different from some of the long grinding games that happen sometimes.
Are you happy to play the 3rd game? Don’t think I can afford to give you a 10 point advantage though I’m afraid. Would you be happy with a level game?
So right up to the end you thought you could win…what was your plan? Because from my point of view once you lost australia you never had a chance of a pacific victory…
My thinking was, individually, your stacks were defeatable. And once I killed them, they were gone. Once I took back India, for example, that was it for the British. Australia would stay weak, so I could circle back to it after taking out the China stack. Meanwhile I had planned on Germany continuing to soak up resources that the USA might otherwise be using against Japan.
Plus, for quite a while there you were getting greedy with RUssia, building mostly expensive fast movers and such. When you started building just lots and lots of cheap units, I was already worried…
Oh, also, I was pretty sure you’d have to leave your whole US fleet open to take back Australia, but my terrible rolls there changed that.
I’ll have to wait a bit on the rematch. I have a lot of work these days, and I want to see if it’s just a passing thing or the new normal. If it passes, I’ll let you know. Till then, I’m going back to one game at a time. This was really fun! You are an excellent player.
@Shin-Ji Thanks! I think I got lucky with my initial US build which was meant to follow up the british success in africa but was used instead as a german fleet killer. It was very touch and go…especially once you had NSW as well!
I wasn’t sure the Russians could keep the germans at the border so was taking advantage of the money to build expensive units while I could!
Good luck with your game…I see you have beaten Trulpen once already which is an achievement…he whipped me as both sides played at the same time! Well played!
