@666

Greatly enjoyed the game; you had me thinking really hard throughout. Had some good fortunate avoiding AA and return fire on my air.

@666 There have been some known issues with MacOS.
You could try to use a current pre-release version to see whether the problem persists:

@farmboy good luck the rest of the way. I think Adam took me out in the 1st round last year, and now you do the same this year…oh boy

@simon33, is the white flag in order now Simon?

Yes it is. Will post. Really disappointing, thought I had this one but wasn’t expecting to lose Moscow the last time let alone this coming time. Should really have played more carefully, in the Middle East too.

craziest game I have ever been a part of. Thanks for the game.

@aagamerz13 said in PTV 666 (axis) v aagamerz13:

@666 great game lets have a rematch

yes, good game. currently I am playing 3 games, with the playoffs just starting. Once I drop one I will let you know. 3 at a time is my limit.

@ArtofWar1947 the map problem in the south pacific off Malaya is a problem, since the game won’t allow me to park my fleet there. I think the allies have one anyway, so I will throw in the towel here, good game. I will record the result. Feel free to start game 2, maybe when we start fresh with the new version we won’t have this problem?

@666
nah I’m good. You’ve thoroughly outplayed me even though Germany was stopped cold. Well done and thanks for the masterclass!

Thanks for the game!

@JDOW said in Misterblue (allies) v JWW game 2:

Yeah, the Axis have been nicely on schedule after 4 turns. Having India controlled for good with little concessions after J4 is a great achievement. Also, the German progress against the Russians was as fast a possible. After that, things went downhill.

It is challenging for the Germans to fave the India stack in the middle east so early. It is difficult to play Japan in a way to maximize the efforts. The problem is that Japan can play for a forced VC victory but if it fails, the Axis are in trouble. It is not easy to materialize on early grab of India properly. Japan needs to be very dedicated after that and either significantly support the Germans or make the Allies life in the Pacific a nightmare.

In the end, I tend to blame the German naval build G1 which did not materialize well enough. The Axis missed those 30 IPCs to be more compulsive at the German Russian front.

Thanks for the analysis JDow…it is hard to balance how much G navy to buy, typically I do none at all but without know what the allies are going to do in Europe it is a tough decision. Personally, I think my mid JPN game was off, I wasn’t committed to go after the Pacific VC win soon enough and I bumbled around for a few turns. You and Mr.Blue should play.

@666 Thanks for the game! You need to be more aggressive as Axis for sure.

@oysteilo said in Oystello (allies +6) v 666:

@666 not sure exactely what i did wrong here. Definately struggled with making an impact in europe. I worried big time how to save russia after your bombing. Thats what Norway was about.

I think I had some really good dice for Germany in the beginning. I might have learned a few German defensive tactics from Adam and copied them…I might not have had a series of critical blunders too. I think we are evenly matched right now.

@JDOW said in 2020 BM3 - Oystello (allies +6) v 666:

And btw: DON’T put your boats in 114 after G1 but in 113. In this case, UK would not have been in the position to make such a greedy move in UK1, as a G2 sea lion with 1 TT would be on the table in that case, plus a G3 sealion would have become a bigger threat, too.

this makes sense as well, recently I have been bringing two extra G inf onto the R border for a G2 attack into Russia but the G2/G3 sea lion threat might be better at keeping the UK spread out.

Hui, after the first round it looked like the Luftwaffe could win big. But frankly, as said, a win in 110 would have only prolonged the Axis’ misery. I would have stepped into NI the next turn and would have taken Rome for good from there. And the Germans would neither come anywhere near Moscow nor Egypt.
The Germans never recovered from the blow in WGR. After that, their only chance was to either push hard at Egypt or India. But they were too hesitant.
The Japanese surprisingly gave the Allies multiple opportunities to seize the DEI. I was surprised about that space that was given to the Allies.

Anyway, thanks for the games, Jim. Happy to play again next year.

best,
Tobias

@666

I don’t think I realized Germany had so many fast movers to smash through UK 1-2 turns ago in NW Persia… I surrender. Good game.
