oops, this is a mistake. plz ignore

I already thought you didn’t like that I gave up… I would like a fig in Russia an inf in Yunnan an inf in Borneo and an art in Kweicho

ah yes, good catch. almost forgot about that one. i’ll submit now and see if it finally takes me over to the next tier.

@Adam514:

You also have the Soulblighter one that is pretty slow paced. If you claim it it looks like you’ll go to tier E  :wink:.

Sounds good, I’ll be waiting!

Thanks. GG AD.  You’re a good player and nice guy. It was fun.

ok gg, i enjoyed it.

curious why so many subs in the pac? it was something interesting to go against, but i felt allies became too off balanced

@Marakanda:

Aight, think that’s gonna do it. You’re in far too good of a position for me to have any realistic hope of coming back and it’s only going to get worse. Well played.

still interested in the rematch, just been really busy with my game against adam. i’ll more likely start the game over the weekend or monday morning.

@axis-dominion:

@Ghostglider:

Including a DD would have been a nice touch :-)
Thank you for a good game.
A rematch with identical bid is fine for me.

Just go ahead and start the game - Good luck!

ok great, i’ll get it up sometime soon, probably by tonight.

Sending UK planes from Egypt to Gibraltar didn’t occur to me at the time. I was more worried about Russia (which I assumed would be their ultimate destination). So partly just force of habit. That would have been a good move though.

In hindsight, I should have just landed in the two or three Chinese territories, used blockers (and convoyed SZ6 too), but just sacrifice the transports. Adding to China’s economy and subtracting from Japans, even for one turn helps compensate for the loss … but I got too ambitious and didn’t plan or calc out retreat options.

@axis-dominion

The legend still lives!

sounds good, so you want same exact bid and bid placement?

@Karl7:

@axis-dominion:

we can rematch, but i need to clear up a couple of my games first, as i picked up one too many. so sometime in the next few weeks i’ll hit you up again.

well tobruk is always risky, imo, which is why i rarely do it. i usually prefer to just try to hold egypt with the extra bid units, and if germany pushes really hard with lots of planes, then russia can counter act that in the north by pushing onto finland and norway (since planes are absent).

@Karl7:

So, can we rematch or we out of games?

I swear if the med had gone my way UK1 the allies would have had the advantage. 22 bid is a good bid.  Just drives me crazy that the Axis from R1 just slowly and steadily just kept going up while the allies scrambled around to no effect.

Cool, if we rematch, just reset this game.  Another prob I have is I don’t take my time.  I know the best players, like yourself, often run the numbers etc, something I don’t carve out the time to do, which I should.  So, if we play again, I’ll slow it up so to give you more of a challenge.

As for tobruk, I’ll go back and look but I thought I had a pretty good advantage. BUT! I didn’t run the numbers.

Nah…I´m telling the grown-ups what you did  :evil:

i have yet to see a massive russian attack on a german stack go well.  I can think of 5 or 6 giant disasters of the same - one of which happened when i attacked hobo.  :roll:

@Adam514:

@axis-dominion:

ok adam, i’m going to just yield right here. congrats, most brilliant play. my first ever loss as axis, but to a great player.

i can hold on stubbornly for a while longer, but to no avail. axis domain is shrinking, with no real hope of recovery short of miracle dice…but then, what kind of win would that be? it just wouldn’t be right, considering your masterful play.

definitely learned a few good lessons here. for one, i love how you wore me out with your pac play. there was a time where japan was so dominant, but i guess i got too comfortable there and allowed you to catch up and then overcome my defenses. i did things all wrong. not enough of an early push on russia allowed your armies to hold at bryansk for a lot longer than it should’ve been, and not being careful with italy was a huge blunder. i guess that’s why i felt i needed to compensate with a more aggressive japanese push, but then it cost me my dominance on the other side. i was probably better off pushing harder for a pac VC win.

Very good game! It was quite a close game, just a bit more axis income in rounds 7-8 and it might have ended in a real stalemate. You have very good axis play, though one thing I think is not cost effective are the number of Japanese factories, but that might be just me.

A win from dicing is indeed not an ideal win, but in a dice game it’s a part of the game.

Yeah Japan with 12 transports was scary round 6 lol, had to make sure you couldn’t move towards NSW or Hawaii with them, hence the switch back to mostly Pac buys with US. Bryansk is indeed critical to get the money for the German war effort, but at the same time you used the money to defend Norway with boats and land units to deadzone the coast, it was a trade. Without Japan intervention in Europe though Germany would have been fried.

Very good and fun game again! Definitely watching my bidding vs you in the future.

yah, i was thinking the same thing about too many factories…i guess i felt i had to keep shortening my supply lines, as i had to keep pushing further and further out. but i agree, way too many.

i look forward to a rematch, but only after a few days of rest :) i need to lick my wounds and also look back and review things a bit

Likewise!

Cool, u got it!

Thanks for the game and good luck with your future adventures.

Thanks man, gg.

Oh, not a national, just my personal, it seems everybody who doesn’t have kids over 4 years old goes on vacation these weeks just before high season starts. And we have great weather these weeks here, so that helps :)

I know.  I had hoped to maintain my foothold in S Europe - but I had forgotten to factor in those 4 MInfs in Italy.  Silly me was thinking, Hey, I can take N italy and I won’t have to worry about those!

Doy

I didn’t move the Russians to E Persia for 2 reasons - one that I’m sure you’d either block them or wipe them out, and the other that I honestly hadn’t considered you just stacking the heck out of India like that.  I was so concerned with everything else you might do with those transports…

You know, this game (and several others) have convinced me that there’s just no way to win as the allies against a solid Axis player without getting your USA fleet down to Austrailia and keeping it alive with blockers, while keeping your transitioning fleet in Hawaii alive with blockers as well.  Nothing else I’ve tried seems to work at all.

It has been an amazing game, and I thank you for it!

sure
