@BobbaRossa yes I agree, good game bobba! I appreciate the game.

@axis-dominion said in 19L axis-dominion vs majikforce (allies) bm3:

@majikforce if you want, I can go axis again. give you another chance to redeem your allies ;)

LOL! Let’s see if I qualify as insane. Doing the same thing over again expecting a different result. I’m down! Fire it up!

@lebowsky I agree, this is a lost cause. germany will soon corner and destroy your Russian forces in scand. and will overtake the Middle East. hard to stop the euro axis powers at this point. and Japan is strong in its own right. gg

go ahead and start the next one up as axis. we can make it a 2019 if you wish, and go at whatever pace you find comfortable.

@axis-dominion gg

@axis-dominion thanks for the complement. I’ve learned a lot from these two games as well. And in a few days I’ll go back to that turn and see if I think I have a viable alternate strategy.

@axis-dominion:

@BSD:

In a week or so I will be less busy than I am now.  Care to play another about a week from now?

yup, I’m down whenever you’re ready again.

gg!

Okay cool!  My wife just started a big new job and I’m in the process of renewing my license to practice Real Estate, which will be over in about a week, so I will hit you up when I’m finished with that.

@aequitas:

Great game, congrats to your win.

Posted the result allready.

Ready for the rematch AetV Axis plus 3?

Ok good game! And yah fire away, let’s do it

@axis-dominion thanks

Yeah, position strategically lost against a strong opponent of the likes of AD

@simon33:

I think economic victory for the axis was pretty inevitable anyway in this one.

You’ve beaten me four times now. Thought I had you the second time, but I don’t think another victory can count.

ok no problem, maybe later this session if we accumulate more games and you’re ready for another, just let me know.

@Giallo:

i give up well played, no chance for me…

ok gg!

@JDOW:

What ia the total score between you in bm?

this session so far, I am 2 and Adam 3.

other sessions, not even close lol

@Rasmustb:

Hi axis

I have to abort our game. I dont have the time to put in at the moment. Sorry about that

Regards
/Rasmus

no problem, I understand. sorry to hear that. if you ever want to continue this game just let me know.

@axis-dominion:

and start in new thread. better

cool, it will be up in two shakes of a lambs tail

But that being said I did get lucky

But I think the allies need luck or at least set themselves up for defensive opportunities that can cut their way

Ok fair enough, sounds good. yah I’d rather you slow down and give each turn more thought, and more strategy. makes for a better game!

I’ll set it up again later tonight

@Giallo:

@axis-dominion:

@Giallo:

will you set it up

well I was going to, but then your comment about not focusing on the game threw me off. you mean you’ve been playing without any focus? how is that fun, I like to play someone who can be at least a little bit competitive…it’s no fun destroying my opponent. basically a waste of time. so if you’re willing to try to put up a real challenge and really give the game some serious thought, then yes I’d be happy to play you again. otherwise we’re just wasting our time.

I didn’t say that I wasn’t focused. I said I will focus some more :-o So i’ll be on top of it! I might need some more time per round

I completely agree with your assessment. I discussed the same with Adam via messanger. I regret not just going for Egypt. And yah I played too defensively in Europe and neglected my push on the eastern front.

@JDOW:

Great game, thanks Gents.

@AD: Not that it was entirely decisive but I think by skipping Egypt you just put the last nail into the Axis’ coffin. It was obvious that Germans could not get India so sitting in Persia would mean the German army would end up cut off in the middle of nowhere.

If you march into Egypt and wreck Havoc in Africa you at least make sure the income keeps close to even. Also, you might have had enough troops to march down to South Africa which prove to be a game charges in some games.

Also I think it was not advisable to take the entire slow army South as they are - surprise - too slow to really help for the South Africa Blitz.

I think it would have been better to just take a few slowies down for attrition battles to save the valuable fast units and keep the rest to keep the Russians honest and - more important - to keep control over Cauc and Volgo.

Just imagine Germans sitting in Egypt + Africa taking african territories + Cauc and Volog access = 90+ income
Of course the Indians will then join the middle East again but this at least would have kept the critical mass away from Japan.

Maybe all this would have only prolonged your misery :-)

I guess the foundation for the Allied win was laid early when the Germans did not take a breath deep enough that allows them to break through Rostov into the money territories. Although you finally did, supported by your extremely lucky hit and run at Bryansk I believe that was the key issue that bought UK enough time to create this unreal monster army in India. In case the Germans break through 3-4 turns earlier I believe there could have been an entirely different dynamic allowing the Germans to create a real thread an taking India and thus providing Japan with a VC victory.

@Adam514:

With what and block what? There was a sizeable Sealion threat, and blockers can’t be spared simply to prevent TJ.

It was possible to hit Tobruk but that would have allowed one of the SZ106 subs to live because you would have needed the Cruiser to hit SZ96 and also cost a fighter for London defense. Perhaps London would have fallen then.

Interesting.
