@AndrewAAGamer said in L24 OOB AndrewAAGamer (X) vs crockett36 (L+60) Game 2:

Remember you are ATTACKING not DEFENDING. Multinational forces in the same area defend as one but attack as individuals.

Of course, we don’t think that British naval units would just sit by and let the transport be sunk by the enemy. I’m going with it, but I still think it defies logic, reason, good game mechanics, history, etc. I point these things out so that if there is ever an overhaul of the rules, nonsensical things like this can be fixed. And particularly so in a game that is Axis favored by 50-60 by the best of players.

@crockett36 I do not put myself in that category. I do put you in it.

@AndrewAAGamer congratulations! That defensive perimeter in the Pacific and Asia is amazing. I screwed up Moscow. Very disappointing. I’m working hard on doing what I did to you in the East (the pizza dough strategy) in the West. It, however, drained resources from the defense of Moscow. And that is forgetting the main thing.

@AndrewAAGamer I am working with an hypothesis that the inflation of the Japanese economy vs allied economies and the demands I can put on the units on the board would suppress the Japanese so that they cannot win in the pacific and Asia. I can take greater tuv losses and still come out by a nose. I am trying to work the same magic in Europe.

Anytime you want to play again I’m always game.
