Yes, I think Japan is the most complex in the beginning atleast, with all that air. But it evens out. Both are challenging.
-
And what do U say about Italy?
-
Very fun when they thrive, but is usually tightly kept. Not in this game though. You’ve played them aggressive and well.
-
That ankward start of German turn when U have 4 ICs to repair xd
-
The only two shadows in your setups is holding out on the Russians and lack of land in Asia.
-
Yes, and not so high income as well. That hurts. Which was the point of all that SBR.
-
Don’t think you’ll repair it all, but that’s 21 IPC of damage. A bit on the low side. With mean dice it would’ve been 27-28.
-
I took quite a high risk there when blocking with 2 des. If Italy had succeded breaking the block that whole fleet would now be ocean filling.

Yeah, well, I am a solid, not a perfect player.
And some sacrificies had to be made for greater good.

I had 30 % I think, I simply had to try.

Yes, that was the main point of stacking there. Not so much to put pressure on Finland and Norway. On short sight that’s rather pointless for dear Russia.

What do U mean by holding out on the Russians, U mean playing too defensively against Russia?

At the same time I had a very good alternative of staying in Belarus and preventing intrusion in E Poland. But maybe I didn’t have quite enough for that feat?
-
I am not sure now, hard to tell, should had to go to look the past situation on the map.
i am thinking about my German move now, and buyings, there are more options, and I need to choose one of them xd

Yes, and mainly a lot of investment has gone into fleet and kicking UKs butt, but that means Germany is rather weak on the eastern front. I believe more immediate pressure has to be made against Russia. It’s Germany’s key objective in the early game. Early Sea Lion is a trap.
-
At the same time you killed me with your awkward (or atleast unorthodox) allied opening. It’s a bit too early to conclude this game. Italy is a powerhouse!

So U do not think Sea Lion (even if sucessfull) is a good option?
