CDS (Axis) vs FlyingBadger (Allies) - PtV

@flyingbadger

I believe you could easily counterattack in places, and or hold your ground much sooner then all the way back in Moscow. Youll see this when you try to play Axis yourself, its not as easy as it looks when you have pressure on more then one or two fronts.

What your main priority should be as Allies is to choose a strategy upfront. So when you start a game as Allies choose wether you want to do a KGF (kill germany first) or KJF (kill japan first). This choice can often be made for you, seeing the purchase of Germany first round (fleet purchase can point to Sea Lion) or when Japan does a first round opening (politics) like I did.

What is also very important to look after are the NO’s (national objectives, they can be found under the little map) You had a turn where you landed in Hawai, but you could have also landed in Johnston Island that same turn. You didnt and which cost you 5 pu’s.

So keep in mind its important to prevent the opponent from reaching there NO, but its also important to get yours back or in possesion.

Attacking sz74.

Ill update you on hits, and await your OOL hits.

@flyingbadger

I hit with my sub. I guess you choose the ac or bb?

@flyingbadger

I continued choosing your ac as sub casualty, seeing I get 3 hits (+ maybe one more as extra dice) I knew the bb would get a hit aswell. So the question remains, what are you other casualties going to be.

So far its ac/hit (sub) and bb/hit… What do you choose for the remainder of 2 hits?

Damn, made a huge mistake in my purchase. Not thinking it all the way trough to Germany. Should have bought a harbor in Southern Persia, so I could send a German transport to capture S.Africa.
