@stickybomb And likewise, would appreciate any feedback you have for me. I feel as if my Allied play is very lacking in the midgame (5-10) where I dont pull the trigger anywhere and just build up. Stronger allied players make me feel pressure as soon as round 3… I need to improve!
Yeah, I’m trying to up my aggression in A&A as I can be too passive, but the risk/reward for that air attack was poor and it was a bad decision. Japan can lose a few planes but needs a large air force otherwise it is really limited.
I know what you mean about the Allies, better players make you feel under pressure really early which then makes you buy more defensively with Germany and Italy. I have tended to waste Allied troops in small landings to grab objectivs but I feel it maybe be better to build up a little and make or threaten a large landing and plan on staying there.
A couple of comments, but I’m not very experienced so they may not be too helpful. I thought you used the bid well and gained control of the Med very quickly. Not seen many other people but a battleship, especially early on. I was able to bomb Moscow on G3 as the Russian fighters were elsewhere (although they had already done good work in China). Russia fell back in good order and withstood the attack on Moscow whilst also helping the Chinese. You poured most of your early US money into the Pacific and I beleive that it is better for the US to do that than divide it’s IPCs between boards, but it did mean that on US4 you only had 2 transports ready to move across the Atlantic. You were very proactive with the US fleet and caused Japan a lot of trouble and reduced it’s income.
A rematch in the future would be great, just get in touch whenever you are free. Good luck to you too!
