I’m going to resign. No need to waste your time.

I screwed up my own strategy by having the British into the war before the US. I shouldn’t have agreed to low luck. It put my brain into experiment mode, which I like, but makes me more adventurous. The bid going for transports was an experiment and ineffective. Your opening two rounds for Germany are impressive.

For anyone watching at home, Myygame puts you in a dilemma, Sealion or Gibraltar. This gets the Ge navy into the Med t3. Do not scramble t1. That scramble made me ignore 96. This nullified my investment in the Indian ocean. I shouldn’t have attacked Iraq, but gone to Persia. I should have looked at your standings for OOB 40.2. That would have made me really cautious. I should have reduced taranto to a 75 percent chance in order to go after the destroyer. Because of low luck, Myygame knows the odds and results for t1 English navy battles AND taranto. You are not taking out German air force that he is not willing to lose. Very slick, sir. I will be watching to see if you have an equally impressive Allied strategy. Good luck. I’d love to play again.

Hey Crockett,
thanks for the flowers, it was good playing with you.

I think your analysis is quite good. Getting UK into the war early without US and also losing the UK aircraft early has decided this game.

One more thing to add is the technology option you chose. I am not convinced that researching will provide a benefit, even to the US. I think the long range aircraft you got really is a good option (so your roll was good there), because it increases the range significantly. Nevertheless it is a costly option wich is hard to pull off into an advantage, since the downside of it is less troops on the board, something that US needs more desperate than technologies in the beginning.

Anyways, thanks for the game! And yes, I am open to another round if you like, also I need to check first when the next one starts here… I am not sure my time allows two games simultaniously.

Yes. Technology sat before me like a toy box to be opened.

Yes, its hard to resist opening the shiny surprise box ;-)
