@axis-dominion

Joel said he would move but we haven’t been able to coordinate meeting due to Holidays etc.

I will ping him and see if we can set something up soon.

Sorry!

@Midnight_Reaper

you should donate more.

@axis-dominion Yeah I got lucky on that one, definitely planned on the follow up attacks having to handle a greater share. Hope to play you again at some point, but I need to knock some of these other games out first.

gg!

yah i would agree, allies are in a very tough spot and likely no progress can be made in either side at this point.

sure we can rematch.

@aequitas-et-veritas said in L24 bm4 axis-dom (axis) vs aetv (allies+30):

Hi @axis-dominion , I agree with you, I felt the struggle you have with the Easternfront, but wasn’t throwing away my US Pac Navy on purpose.
My thought was that I didn’t think you would Go for a Leveling by Air since you very systematically based your Japanes Power by it with constant buys of Air (wich I will copy in a similar manar in my next games from now on).
Yes i try to entice you to but got the idea that even you would win this battle , that you are about to loose the Mainland. Also i missed a few planes (my fault).
Lesson learned !
I was about to set up another lure in the Pacific, But your Germans looking powerful enough that no matter what, you will overrun me there.
There is so much i can learn from you. Right now it would just not be fair from my side to ask for another game bc i work a lot recently to prep up for my oncoming divorce.
Thank you for the game and for your patience.
You are a wonderful opponent to play against.

that reasoning makes sense, thanks for clarifying. my word choice of ‘throwing’ was a bit too harsh, sorry :) definitely enjoyed this game, tho, and look forward to playing again in the future whenever you feel ready, no rush tho. and so sorry to hear about your divorce situation. hope everything works out for the best!

ok, my bid is:

sub in 98 and tac in malta. pocket 1 for uk pac.

thanks!

@axis-dominion I’ll be up for another in a bit. I need to recover and I owe a couple of games too. I’ve generally gotten a lot better at playing more patient and avoiding trying to force things with sacrifices. But you and Adam always force me to play desperate and these bad habits reemerge.

good game! your luck ran out i guess? ;)

@JDOW said in L24 bm4 axis-dom (axis) vs karl8 (allies+20):

@Karl7 Help me understand this:
Combat - ANZAC
Battle in New Guinea
ANZAC attack with 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 1 infantry
Japanese defend with 1 infantry
ANZAC roll dice for 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 1 infantry in New Guinea, round 2 : 0/3 hits, 1.17 expected hits
Japanese roll dice for 1 infantry in New Guinea, round 2 : 1/1 hits, 0.33 expected hits
1 infantry owned by the ANZAC lost in New Guinea
ANZAC roll dice for 1 artillery and 1 fighter in New Guinea, round 3 : 0/2 hits, 0.83 expected hits
Japanese roll dice for 1 infantry in New Guinea, round 3 : 1/1 hits, 0.33 expected hits
1 artillery owned by the ANZAC lost in New Guinea
1 fighter owned by the ANZAC retreated
Japanese win with 1 infantry remaining. Battle score for attacker is -7
Casualties for ANZAC: 1 artillery and 1 infantry

If this was a game deciding battle and taking NG was crucial for the survival of the US fleet, why didn’t you take the fighter down after round 2 and at least try to win a 1-1 arty vs inf battle?

LOL, yeah I guess so. The answer to your questions is that (1) I am dumb and didn’t do that (2) I was stupefied by the dice and/or (3) I am rusty and have been too long away from you savages

gonna change my purchase real quick:

swap 2 inf for a sub, and 2 arts for a dd

Gratz re AD and well played farmboy.
I really believe you had serious winning chances in this one. The Germans were on the rope and even Japan was slightly behind schedule, until they took Anzac
Even after Anzac got lost I think the Allies still had a good position. But then it slipped away somehow.

Again, well played both and it was fun to watch!

@ghostglider said in 2021 BM4 playoff axis-d vs ghost (+20):

I surrender - thank you for a good game. Well played!

good game!

funny, right at the point when you had just blundered with the russians, i was getting ready to resign lol… situation was getting tough for me in the pac while euro axis wasn’t making enough progress to punish you from 100% US investment in the pac… but then i slept on it, and when i woke up i took another hard look and realized you had blundered by overcommitting your forward russian stack into europe… if you had at least protected moscow enough, then i think i’d be in a very tough spot.

@ksmckay said in bm4 axis-dominion vs farmboy (+19):

@farmboy yeah, not a good attack so in a real game never gonna happen, I would have just liked to see a 2800 ipc battle. odds calc with 2000 sims says 49% after scramble.

I must be missing something in my calc then. Yeah, it would be fun to see.

And sorry I did understand your point. I was adding some commentary reflecting on my own choices here. I held up at Wake for a while because it was a good position from which to deny him a final VC. And because I was hoping to win in Europe I was afraid to leave because I was worried that would give him an opening on Hawaii. But I think should have gone for this a few turns ago.

I do feel like allies need the bombing campaign much more than axis, particularly in Europe. so while the price hike can definitely discourage a German bomber spamming, it can also discourage a more aggressive allied bombing campaign later in the game.

Sure, but I just don’t like how you make me lose confidence. :)
