      the intention wasn’t for them to be bought frequently, as in the real war, the carrier became the dominant capital ship and for good reason. however, the cruiser and battleship have some unique properties that make them worthwhile in certain situations but not at the official cost. they’re pretty cool units and deserve to be bought a few times per game vs a few times per never lol

      Yes, the Soviets are my biggest weakness. Or to be more precies: the eastern front.

      I fail to conquer moscow with germany.
      I fail to hold it with the Allies.

      Ok, let me know. Adam just finished one with me so he’s probably up.

      You are right that I should have attacked Germany more. I also didn’t worry enough about some of the national objectives like Carolines and Iwo Jima/Okinawa. The Carolines objective is great because it prevents a landing spot for planes coming from The Philippines.

      I still don’t know that I have the Europe/Pacific balance right as USA.

      Ich hoffe, das ist alles klar.

      Sie haben es geschafft, Italien kurz zu erreichen. Da war ich etwas nachlässig und man hatte gute Würfel, aber angesichts der Spielsituation (und auch weil ich da etwas deutsches Flair hatte) war es richtig auf 60% Quote zu spielen und es hat sich gelohnt. Aber um es zu erobern, musste man seine Flotte mehrere Runden lang dort halten, um sie zu schwächen, und man musste weiterhin britische Landeinheiten opfern. Der Einsatz der Flotte, um Italien über mehrere Runden hinweg weich zu machen, ist eine gute Taktik, aber ich denke, das war ein strategischer Fehler, da Sie letztendlich nicht in der Lage waren, es einzunehmen und zu halten, und es Ihre Flotte und viele Einheiten dazu verpflichtet hat Italien unter Druck setzen und nicht Deutschland. Italiens Rolle im Spiel würde zu diesem Zeitpunkt ziemlich marginal sein. Ich denke, die bessere Wahl war, Italien einfach mit U-Booten zu konvoieren und es ansonsten zu ignorieren und diese Einheiten zu verwenden, um eine Landung anderswo zu unterstützen (wahrscheinlich Griechenland und vorzugsweise von den USA und dann von Großbritannien unterstützt). Und im Idealfall hätte man das einige Runden früher machen können als beim Angriff auf Italien. Wenn Sie Griechenland hätten und es mit alliierter Luft stapeln könnten, wäre es für mich möglicherweise viel schwieriger gewesen, Moskau einzunehmen. Entweder ich ziehe Einheiten weg, um Sie zu vertreiben, oder wenn ich nach Moskau gehe, haben Sie viel verbündete Luft, die bei der Verteidigung helfen kann.

      Möglicherweise haben Sie gelegentlich Blocker benötigt, um Australien zu schützen. Obwohl ich Sidney nicht erreichen konnte, hätten Sie sich auch aus Queensland zurückziehen können. Ich spielte zu diesem Zeitpunkt ziemlich konservativ mit Japan, also wollte ich nicht riskieren, meine Flotte (und Luft) außerhalb der Reichweite Japans zu verlegen, und ich würde es tun müssen, wenn ich es ernst meinte, Sidney zu nehmen. Denken Sie auch daran, dass Neuseeland ein großartiger Standort für US Air ist, wenn Sie Luft benötigen, um sowohl Sidney als auch Hawaii zu erreichen, sodass Sie sie nicht in Queensland schützen mussten. Aber mein Punkt hier ist, dass es sich wahrscheinlich gelohnt hat, Einheiten zu konservieren, anstatt Blocker einzusetzen, um die Flotte auf Hawaii zu schützen. Sie mussten dies vielleicht ein oder zwei Runden lang tun, aber Sie waren an einem Punkt, an dem es wahrscheinlich besser war, die Flotte zu riskieren. Und auch früher im Spiel, bevor ich diesen Vorteil hatte, versuchte ich, den Einsatz von Blockern so weit wie möglich zu vermeiden.

      Ich spiele die Wahrscheinlichkeiten des Spiels in Relation zu meinen Gewinnchancen. Wenn ich mir sicher bin zu gewinnen, spiele ich konservativ und halte dann in manchen Fällen 98 % Quoten für nicht sicher genug. Wenn ich das Spiel verliere, sieht eine Chance von 10 % auf einen entscheidenden Kampf viel verlockender aus, wenn ich mir ziemlich sicher bin, dass ich nie bessere Chancen bekommen werde. Dies gilt insbesondere für Seeschlachten, und die Notwendigkeit, Träger für die Luft unbeschädigt zu halten, wirkt sich ebenfalls darauf aus. Als ich meine Flotte aus Midway zurückzog, lag das daran, dass Ihre Chancen bei etwa 15 % lagen. Normalerweise würde ich mir darüber keine Gedanken machen, aber hier dachte ich, es gäbe keinen Grund, das zu riskieren, da ich mit Deutschland gewinnen würde.

      Das war auch ein Fehler in Englisch. Ich habe vergessen, den Satz zu beenden. Ich wollte damit sagen, dass sie nicht in Position sind, wenn ich woanders angreife. Das heißt, ich versuche, die japanische Flotte zu zwingen, nach Norden oder Süden zu gehen, und dann kann ich in die andere Richtung gehen.

      Allies + 18 ist für mich in Ordnung. Ich kann nicht ganz sicher sein, ob ich im April spielen kann, aber wahrscheinlich. Die Arbeit wird für mich immer anstrengender und ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie viel Zeit ich nach den Playoff-Spielen haben werde. Wenn Sie den Link zum ersten Playoff-Spiel wollten, das hier ist. Der andere hat noch nicht begonnen, da ich auf das Ergebnis von Ghostglider und General Disarray warte.

      @simon33 I do know what you mean. I think you were overly cautious in some places and I think if you had prioritized keeping Egypt more, this game could have gone very differently.

      I don’t think I 've ever done a J4 either. And I began the game thinking I was aiming for a J3. But because I could see you setting up in the Atlantic and committing less US resources to the pacific in the early game, I thought it was worth trying. I don’t think it was the optimal choice but it paid off in terms of getting a Europe side victory.

      But yeah good game! We can have a rematch in the new year.

      @gamerman01 no worries.

      I don’t think I made any major blunders in this game, although I certainly have in other games. But I do think I made a couple of poor choices early. The main one, I think, is that I conceded Gibraltar before I had too and that lost me some time on the Europe map. But I’m still surprised (even with the dice) how quickly I felt that you had the upper hand on both sides of the map. Unless I make a huge blunder, I don’t expect to be in this position this early. It was very interesting (and effective) allied play and not what I normally see or do.

      I’ll look forward to a rematch when you are up for it.

      @farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs AD (L+19):

      @axis-dominion I don’t do Taranto either. But I probably should find some alternatives to GIb. As for Szechwan, I considered it. But I wasn’t fully committed to the Moscow attack during Japan’s turns. One hope I had was that maybe the movement of air to Moscow would give Japan (and maybe even Italy) opportunity to recover and then German was going to move for the mid east before swinging back. But it became clear after the UK turn that Moscow was my only option

      true, getting the allies to curl up defensively in Moscow is usually a great sign the axis are doing things right and have the advantage. however, in this situation Japan was just too far behind to take advantage of that. even india was safe despite all that air that had to evacuate out.

      @farmboy

      E.g. a transport won’t load, or naval units won’t go into a zone they normally can etc… I initially thought it was because of a game that had gone too long but I’m also seeing it in a game that is only in its second round now.

      This might be caused by an outdated TripleA-version where errors like this one sometimes occurred.
      Or your opponent and you maybe don’t play using an identical TripleA-version.

      I can only guess due to a lack of details.

      connection reset by peer: socket write error

      I recommend to use the “Report” feature when the error message pops up. Or maybe address this directly to the developers:

      @farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

      @Amon-Sul yeah. I never had much of a chance to take Moscow because by the time I got close, you already had a ton of allied fighters within reach. It more than make up for the Soviet units in China.

      And different choices with Germany may have improved my chances, but it was Japan’s play that let you get much of that air in range.

      It was Japan play, and it was allied play. My NT dudes really helped.
      Absolutely. And sorry, by referencing Japan’s mistakes, I don’t mean to minimize the cleverness of the strategy or your execution of it. Just trying to think through how I would have to play against it differently. I think I had effectively lost the game by round 4 or 5 unless there was a major dicing or error. And short of dicings or sloppiness, I’m not usually in such bad shape as axis, or in such good shape as allies that early, so I have to think through what I could do differently in response. And I want to play against it again to see if different choices can shift the outcome. Of course, I realize that different choices on my part will lead to different counters on your part. So it might just mean I lose in a different way. But figuring these things out is part of the fun.

      @simon33 said in farmboy (X) vs Simon (A+10) Game 2:

      Sorry, forgot to post this one.

      A major boo boo here was taking back Caucasus with USSR. Was hoping for you to get a hit and give USA a walk in. Probably a feeble plan. Wonder how much difference that would make. Still a reasonable showing I guess with only a +10 bid.

      Yeah. It was very close. You had the Pacific, just not in time to save the game in Europe. I think you might have been able to spend a bit more on Europe relative to the Pacific once you got the advantage there. And I think you could have given up India in order to focus on saving Moscow. I didn’t do a careful calculation of what you could have done, but I thought you might have had enough air to discourage a Moscow attack for another turn or two if you hadn’t also been worrying about Calcutta.

      Thanks for the game!

      @DizzKneeLand33 thanks! It was a fun game. And your allied bomber strategy was quite an interesting and challenging one to play against. One tentative suggestion is that if you spent a bit more on US Navy in the Pacific so that they could grab islands, and on having some presence in the Atlantic, I think this might have been more dangerous.
