@Balladeer:

I resign, well played. I get anoyed every time I open the game and don’t have enough time to calmly play all the moves. Perhaps I’ve still got a slight chance, but I don’t see how I’m going to get near you in income and after losing AES (which I missed completely) putting on serious pressure seems unlikely as well…

I feel I should’ve done something different in UK1, either going Taranto or Tobruk, playing like this seems a bit too passive…

Good luck in other games!

good game man! yah it must be difficult with a newborn in the home, perhaps when you’re not so busy being a new dad we can hit one up again. yah italy is definitely boosted up in this version, so you have to be more creative in figuring out how to deal with italy without losing ground to the traditional big two axis nations.

it’s not so bad, you just have to be more aggressive with axis in bm

@axis-dominion:

i’m going to give you this one, too much total bad luck in just about all my battles. in BM axis needs some luck early on or the game becomes too difficult.

Undrestood.  I was wondering what your strategy was.  Crush russia instantly?

You know I am up for a rerun.

Sounds good. I don’t have as much experience with the Axis in BM, so be merciful!   :lol:

well i don’t like to do the same things over and over again. i like variety so i figured i’d try something different, more risky

yah let’s do another, you take axis this time.

yah i think the biggest difference between an average, weaker play and a really good play is that of taking up as strong a position as possible to set up for next turn. the really good players are always taking whatever space they can get away with, and thereby making it harder for their opponent to do whatever they want. in this game, the first thing i saw wrong is how your anz forces curled up into a ball in nsw round 1, instead of moving up to the more superior positioning in queens. you should not have feared the japanese fleet in 33, they weren’t even a match for your forces if they had grouped up in queens. that’s  just one example, but if you take a closer look at all your movements throughout the game you’ll find other such examples. you don’t wanna lose any ground unless you’re forced to.

Yeah, give me allies.  PM when ready!

K

I thought I was gonna get ground into the dirt eventually. Cant push back the germans, cant clear the med, japan is fine with german bombers clearing blockers.

I felt helpless at this point

yah man, gg, that was fun and very close! your bid made it different and exciting for sure. given the miserable german start, i probably shouldn’t have won except that you gave me a powerful strike in amur. i think that was your big blunder this game (and yah you also got diced, but odds were enormous for me).

this turn i was about to land 3 ftrs in aleutians, place an AB, bring all my navy that could reach there, and build another backing navy in japan to follow up with more transports and naval power. you don’t have a single dd to block and your home islands and lands aren’t defended much. of course you’d likely muster all your navy to guard hawaii, but then i’d start pushing and harassing all over the pac meanwhile continuing to gain even more of asia. would’ve been fun for the axis  :-D

i appreciate the game. we’ll have to do it again some time, after perhaps a week or two break. whenever you’re ready just hit me up.

@Omega1759:

Your win!

If I’m able to win this it would take too long and disrupt work and family time. It took me a while to fall asleep last night because I was still thinking about my turn, better to stop here. By far you are the best player I’ve played and it shows how resilient the Axis can be. I hope this victory pushes you over to the next tier since you deserve it.

Well played!

Bid:

Infantries in Yunnan, Hunan, Kweichow, Sweschwan

Artillery in Buratya, Sakha and Amur

sure let’s flip it around

GG.

I don’t think I’m throwing away that many units, and it’s always worth it if it can help keep the income disparity the way it is.

@regularkid:

NO

wrong game, kid!  :lol:

thanks adam

@regularkid:

alright, i feel a little silly conceding this game after a months-long break, but i think i screwed the pooch on this one. also the dice server isn’t working for me right now.

Good game man. I will report the result!

gg

all set, just had an older/earlier version, titled the same…I’m good now…I’ll get this started.

Yah that’s how it felt to me at least, but I’m also guilty of some bad decisions and moves, biggest I think was my not buying an ita dd to save my fleet. I also took some extra risks that I shouldn’t have, especially with my bomber can openers. I guess I felt I needed to take more risks. It’s hard playing someone like Adam cuz he knows how to lock everything up and make axis progress hard.

lol damnit! that first round of combat gave me some hope.

GG WP :-)

Yea, I actually didn’t do the math on the Chinese forces because I figured that in order to properly crush them, you’d have to move your fleet into a disadvantageous position.  What I forgot was how well the Italian and German stuff can set up a safe zone.

Ah well.  I was probably doomed anyway.

ok thanks for the game!

@JWW:

Sounds good, who knows, by that time my game w/Art could be over….

yea sure, pick your side and let me know
