@Amon-Sul yeah, I think so too. Germany had a tough time (Pressure from West and few options in the East) Italy had a little room, but could not do a lot (except controlling the med and strenghten Germany).
But Japan performed at it’s best (capturing AND holding India gave them lots of room to get the last needed VC (in additon they had lots of Tt do do so). The Soviets joint to late into the Pac war, so Japan had nothing to be afraid of…
Killing the US/ANZ fleet did the rest, to do whatever they want.

@fasthard said in L26 BM4 Playoffs QF fasthard(X) vs axis-dominion(L+18):

@axis-dominion that worked as expected ;-)
At least luck didn’t decide here anything ;-).
I surrender!
Caongrats aund thanks a lot for the game. I feel that I learnt more in round one than in all the other games as the axis with J1.

The Italian fleet blunder was stupid and lead me to this all in move to India.

Good luck for the next rounds in the Playoffs.
I’ll follow your games.

thank you, that was a great game! that all-in move did kinda take me by surprise, usually i look out for those kinds of neutral crush surprise moves, but i didn’t think you had enough to pull it off, and i guess it turned out i was right… altho! i must say getting lucky in that big kazakh battle really helped ensure that. i wasn’t expecting that to be a won battle, i was more just trying to reduce down your forces there to weaken a potential 2nd wave, but it turned out to be more than that, which i happily welcomed!

@fasthard give up. good game.

@simon33 thx, and thx for the game! cya next time

@fasthard Good game!

@BombsAway hi there, are the ANZAG fig on the ANZ or US CV? Thx

@fasthard any time your ready let me no.
we ca go as slow as you want. some players play one time a week. i’m playing 2 of them. i don’t claim any games that are not finished.

GG - thank you for the great game!

You had me really nervous there… I knew you were going to make a run for NSW and I was safe if I kept my planes and brought them back – so when you came for Caroline it had me sweating, as I didn’t expect you’d do that 😂

Early game was rough taking a beating on the British fleet in the Atlantic without you losing any planes. Ended up working out in the long run though.

@dawgoneit US Fighter in eastern us. US destroyer in sz just off the eastern US. UK Destroyer in sz above that

@fasthard that’s right. I never really recovered from sz95.

@Avner sure, didn’t even think about Poland, although it might be the easiest, next to Leningrad, Berlin, Stalingrad or Russia…
I think Germany was to gready to go to Stalingrad while the soviets were/got to strong. Japans Cost for a early calcutta with the airbase was toll big I think. Then the other airbase in China to kill the Chinese and threaten India again… That escalated quickly and the US navy grow and grow…
Thanks for playing and enjoy the Gold medal! :-D

@Adam514 Thanks for the game and thanks a lot for your feedback. I’ll try to apply it. Cya soon ;-)!

@Amon-Sul totally agree, the india bombing and attack was a little bit despreate but i wanted to get rid of the yunnan stack (at least for 1 round). In order to that I lost one aircraft more than I calculated (i also wanted scramble options at the Phillies and def in FIC as well, so I thought I could stand in 42. But as the attacker you have the choice to remain or retreat. So you challenged it and got the reward.
I also agree to the europe side. I wanted to threaten a possible 2 carrier taranto attack UK1 with 3 new fighter and got carried away sinking the UK fleet in 92. All the money spent and lost there was missing at the russian boarder at costs of a strong italy. But it’s imo to difficult to secure the italian navy and the main land against US+UK. They got lots of money but can’t use it as efficient as germany could.
Therefore your win is totally ok. Next time I might not build 3 extra planes with germany (as I was wanted to do… ;-))
