@trulpenplay

Last time as Axis made a fatal error with Us fleet in OPacific (did not even simulated).
This time no particualr error but simply too much freedom for Stalin and noy a well played game… Any suggestion for me ?

@trulpen said in L21 #2 malmessi74 (X+6) vs trulpen (A) P2V:

The fleet build for Germany was premature. It was rather easy for me to take the edge of it by blocking, so it didn’t really pay off enough. If there for instance was a Sea Lion or atleast control of Gibraltar on the table, it might’ve been worth it.
YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT I THINK I REMEMBER SOMEONE TELLING SEALION PLAYED SOON IS NOT GOOD, DO YOU USUALLY PLAY IT AND WHEN ?
SO YOU USE TO PURCH LAND UNITS IN BOTH G1 AND G2 TURN ?

Yunnan is a very important territory for both sides.
COMPLETELY AGREE, SO YOU TRY TO ATTACK CHINA, LEAVE UKPACIFIC IN DEFENSE AND ALSO SPEND ON YOUR JAPANESE FLEET ? IS IT POSSIBLE ?

The fleet maneuvering is always complex and prone to mistakes. I think J was to weak on the ocean. More needs to be invested there in order to keep the USN at bay. Key is to get enough economy to be able to hold all fronts after a sufficient level of expansion. Having control over the ocean is a primary target.
NEVER MANAGED TO DO IT, I CAN TAKE THE 4 MAIN ISLANDS AND GET THE BONUS BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP ALL OF THEM…

J gets even more income here in P2V than in the other versions, but I think they still need only 2-3 mICs on the eastern mainland. Enough to sufficiently reinforce troops without the need of transports, but not too much to drain the naval mobilization. It’s a pretty delicate balance to strike.
YES, I ALWAYS PURCH AN IC IN JAP1 AND THE SECOND IN TURN 2/3, THE THIRD IC REQUIRES LONG GAMES AND I USUALLY GIVE UP EARLIER…

@trulpen said in L21 #2 malmessi74 (X+6) vs trulpen (A) P2V:

With the starting huge air-force J should focus on pumping out carriers. It’s an extremely versatile and strong ship, despite being somewhat nerfed with @1 in defense. The carrier scramble is extremely strong and should be exploited.

Not when the adjacent SZ has trasp only and no scramble is allowed from Ac (my main error in this game) :cry:

@trulpen
Thank you, probably I’ll continue loosing games, but I appreciate your suggestions and the time you spent to post them
