swapped purchase as i was 100% planning to buy a dd but then realized as i was placing that i had forgotten. nothing to do with any results obviously, just common sense that i need a dd to replace the one i used to kill your sub.

also, in 93: 2f+2t on ita carriers

let’s call it. i can trap your retreating brits and crush them, but seems like no matter how many big battles i win, allies just keep coming back stronger. def that would not be the case with bm. i think axis are seriously disadvantaged by lack of can opening. i think that was the one huge advantage they had in prev editions, and without that, they are going to need help with ever higher bids.

i’m not sure what else i could’ve done… seems like soon as you swung over to pac japan was doomed… and without that threat allies had all the time in their favor.

i’m genuinely at a loss… won massive battles, italy and germany so powerful and japan was holding out well, yet everything collapsed in a matter of a few turns once you swung over and spammed subs. the sub spamming is def ridiculous as well.

hold off on recording the loss. gonna try another round or two for fun, even tho i’m pretty sure it’s over.

@axis-dominion said in L25 PTV axis-dom (axis+14) vs adam:

let’s call it. i can trap your retreating brits and crush them, but seems like no matter how many big battles i win, allies just keep coming back stronger. def that would not be the case with bm. i think axis are seriously disadvantaged by lack of can opening. i think that was the one huge advantage they had in prev editions, and without that, they are going to need help with ever higher bids.

i’m not sure what else i could’ve done… seems like soon as you swung over to pac japan was doomed… and without that threat allies had all the time in their favor.

i’m genuinely at a loss… won massive battles, italy and germany so powerful and japan was holding out well, yet everything collapsed in a matter of a few turns once you swung over and spammed subs. the sub spamming is def ridiculous as well.

You were very close to winning. Had the UK attack on the smaller Japanese fleet not gone well for me, I would have conceded.

The fleet swinging over works because it relegates the Axis investment in navy to just convoying. The same can and should be done in BM.

I don’t think the sub spam specifically had impact. It could have been any naval unit.

i’m not so sure that any naval unit would’ve had the same impact. i think the way you could just spam and throw them everywhere at japan was overpowering.

also this highlights another problem ptv has introduced compared to prev eds, the fact that allies could swing theatres still and make such a drastic impact whereas axis have a much harder time doing that. previously axis too could swing quickly and i think from that perspective it balanced out. axis in ptv can’t help each other or make impactful swings.
