Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16)

I am very busy, and its a really hard move so i doubt i ll play today, but i ll try ASAP

That looked like a very strong move by Japan. The Axis are on the ropes, but farmboy is a heavy-weight whose Axis won’t go down without a fierce fight. I am curious to see what he will come up with!

I am glad my strategies are tested here against top rank player, which farmboy definitely is.

This last Japan move of His is one of the best turns i saw ever, maybe the best.

Yeah, its a great game in which U have to surprise a good opponent to make a progress,

And I think we are both enjoying it.

I am glad that somebody else also is.

Yeah, he kept everything together which was key for this turn. Such turns are the reason why it is so hard to make progress against Japan. If Japan wants to protect a territory, they just park a bunch of their abundant planes or fleet there and out of sudden, this territory is an impenetrable fortress

I like to see how the top players use this all around abilities that axis have. It takes a lot of skill, but even when pressured Germany and Japan can move a lot of units in all directions.

I am an allied player fan, axis are my weaker side, so i like to watch and learn from the best.

i am buying a bomber so i added 2 ipc for usa

i ll take crete with usa

send 3 fig there, u have 2 in greece

i count u wont scramble

if u wish we ll do it later

triple a is offering kamikaze shots but against subs and trannies there can be no kamikazes so i ll ignore it

i have the correct map. u went from 1 fig in greece to 2 figs there

@Amon-Sul might be better here to check. I probably won’t with 2 but seeing the wholr board might change that. Also, I might only have 2 but I thought I might have 3. I had edited a fig to Greece on the German turn and am wondering if that got missed. I can’t look at the board right now so am not sure. (On my phone)

and as for the crete scramble for the pace of the game i ll continue, if u want to try it anyway later , let me know

What an orgy of amphibious invasions:D

@JDOW said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

What an orgy of amphibious invasions:D

USA is on 104 IPC,

Japan has 2 trannies,

If i wanted to counter his great Japan move,

I had to be brutal xd

His move is particularly tricky because of the harbour

He can reach India, Sydney, move to all directions, north…

and if i attack him he can repair ships.

I made a mistake last round for not building an airbase in Johston island. Those 4 figs would be my guarantee for a Java stack, and for not allowing him to stack in that pivotal teritorry. Against average players it wouldnt be a problem, but farmboy took the slightest chance to mess my allies up.

But he forced me to think beyond square, and he is pulling the best of me. I believe my response will be strong too.

Great game
