With what did U try to take it?

Amon-Sul

Well, I can play a rematch but 2 things:

I do not know how often will I be able to post. Maybe once a day, maybe once in 2 days, maybe 3 times a day, it depends. When corona virus passes, i wont be able to post as much as now.
I wish to play the axis. Its more interesting then play same sides with same men in short period.

cheers

Amon-Sul

You can have the allies with a bid of 7, the same that I did took.

trulpen

We can perhaps play two games simultaneously then? I really want to get another shot with Axis against you. This game was unbelievably frustrating. :)

no, its too many games for me since I have one already with simon.

i cant play 10 games like U xd

I promised U that i ll play 3 games this season so U get Ur points against me, and I ll keep the promise. With a game with simon and 2 against U its 3 games.

I think we can play maximum 2 games (3 if the score after 2 is 1-1). So if U beat me with allies U ll have a chance to take me with Axis again.

How does that sounds?

Amon-Sul

@trulpen

ouch

I think I played pretty well and that luck followed me. I am content with it.

Amon-Sul

We finish the game with Allies having 258 PUs, UK (with UK Pacific) being the strongest nation (TUV), and almost 1000 TUV difference between Allies and Axis.

Amon-Sul

I must congragulate U and thank U for this great game and Ur sportmanship.

It was a joy playing it. One player had to prevail but I am sure U ll get Ur points too.

This was my returning game, havent played in 2 years, and I think I ve managed pretty well, especially against U as really strong opponent.

Amon-Sul

I must say a didnt realize before how big threat to Middle East and India can those mechanized German units stacked to a pile do.

Also Japan even when seems so strong, if carefull pressured on several sides, can be very weakened with time.

Russia endured much more that I thinked it would.

Playing France was a joy to me.

I had make tactical oversights/mistakes considering China/Siberia when i allow U to destroy my airforce at Kansu, sneak with Japanese tank from there, after I attacked Manchuria with Russia and nullified the Mongolian treaty effect.

U played so focused, offered me no easy takings, I ve got my first Chinese guerrilla in rd 16, ok thats to thank to my agressive China play too, but still.

Amon-Sul

I ve learned during this game that it is true allies have a better ground in close battles since they produce more money and a slight minus after a battle in TUV units destroyed often isnt such a big problem for them.

U can combine that with the defender has to pick to casualties first and it can be a powerful tool.

What are Ur impressions of the game?

I must say Germany, and especially its navy gave, me big troubles

Amon-Sul

We ve played 18 rounds in 17 days. Impressive.

trulpen

I agree with your evaluations.

With normal attrition I think Axis would’ve persevered. Lost about 500 TUV on crap.

Like I said before, it’s not to degrade your effort. You are a very good player and put serious pressure on my position in multiple directions. Still, I feel that with dice rolling more according to probability, there could’ve been more counter-pressure.

Like when I lost 4 mech in Persia against 3 inf and 2 sb. You had 1,33 likely hits and hit 4. One of many examples. I counted on losing 1 or 2 mech and that made the difference of continuing to attack or the need to withdraw. And Japan in China and Pac was just insane on too many occasions to count.

Well I Can say the same just for sea battles. If it went on average, the axis would be broken sooner.

Thats the thing with dice, we must accept it.

The dice server is now pretty good comparing to previous years IMHO.

I was at times thinking to play LL but i didnt start to play that way, since there is no fun as, with dice.

Japan would last longer with better dice, but Japan wouldnt crack Chinese. The pressure in the Asian mainland after taking Korea was to huge IMHO.
