@crockett36 Well that makes sense. If you were inviting Sea Lion I certainly walked into that. I think your experiments were good ones, but agree that too many in one game is “A Bridge Too Far” – If I can steal that phrase. One thing is for sure, with multiple experiments going on I had a hard time figuring out your tactics and how to respond.

RE: Guam Solo vs crockett36 G40.2 oobposted in Play Boardgames
@crockett36 The primary thought I have regarding your game strategy would be tied to the Sea Lion invasion. I could be wrong, so correct me if so, but my guess is that losing London hurt your grand strategy. I recall in the A&A forums your discourse on the game being largely about economics and the ability to wage war through maintaining the economic ability to do so. There wasn’t really anything, or enough, purchased on UK1 for the defense of London. When I saw the air base purchase and focus on the middle east UK1 that is when I really thought about Sea Lion. My G1 purchases kept me flexible for either an all out Barbarossa or Sea Lion.
I respect so much your input in the “Allied Playbook” topic of the A&A forums that I carved out notes from it. You wrote in there the order of strategic defensive objectives: 1. London, 2. Atlantic, 3. Moscow, 4. Egypt, 5. India, 6. Pacific. Did my J1 concentration of forces in Kwangsi give away that I was going “all-in” for Calcutta and entice you to think of Egypt and the middle east early? You did say the airbase was an experiment though, so maybe you planned that before we started. In a sense, your UK1 purchases reprioritized your defensive objectives. After London’s fall I kept an eye on how much you could attempt to recapture London with and tried to re-enforce it enough to make it cost something. I remember sacrificing some of my navy as blockers to keep you out of London and give me more time to build it up. In the end, I think I kept you out of London long enough that UK Europe was not able to invest into the middle east which helped Japan vs. Indian Navy and also in taking Moscow. And the battle to liberate London left the Allies fairly depleted for D-Day for a couple of rounds. It would have helped you if the battle to liberate London didn’t cost so many units. But that is what happened to me vs. the Indian navy and it set me back a couple rounds.
You wrote in your essays - Destroy the ability to wage war - (for the allies) the radical dashing of the economic ambitions of the Axis (would lead) to capitulation. It’s hard to know what the ambitions are turn one, but a defensive London purchase on UK1 deters my Axis ambition and probably removes one place of battle. As the Axis I like having the option of Sea Lion or Barbarossa. You also talk about choosing the place of battle. Would your principle apply here if the UK1 purchase can help determine the place of the battle by eliminating an Axis Sea Lion choice?
Also, you mentioned in this thread earlier that you lost the advantage in pieces in Eurasia, and maybe this is in part to the mobility experiment. We were trading pieces pretty heavily on the eastern front. Three tactical air purchases can be 11 infantry. 3 units verses 11 units - so that had to play some role in the end too. But maybe the infantry, taking longer to get to the battle, would’ve allowed me to catch my breath as well and reorganize. Anyways, I think economically the game favored me for most of it. Even when you retook London Japan was already growing fairly large.
I’m really curious how tournament play goes. Do you see a fair bit of experiments or gambits? Or is play fairly standard (orthodox as you put it)? When we reverse sides and play I’d like to try my hand against whatever you consider the most optimal Axis game strategy - without giving way to predictability of course. Thanks!

When do you want to start our next game? At least this time we can use the updated version of Triple A.

@crockett36 I think the Indian navy achieved what you wanted. In hindsight though, it may have been smarter for me to ignore and go straight for Calcutta. It dawned on me afterwards that the Indian Navy is powerful in defense only. In attack it would have to go in parts, each of which too weak without the whole.

RE: Guam Solo vs crockett36 G40.2 oobposted in Play Boardgames
The aggressive Russians were both invigorating and scary. I early and high number of battle attritions on the Eastern front were not something I was used to. Because you kept purchasing mobil units you were right back putting pressure on the front. I didn’t feel like I ever had a chance to breath. If there was no sea lion do you think the tactic of only buying fast movers would fair better?
Why did you park the Indian Navy out in the Indian Ocean and not at Calcutta? With a scramble I would have had to allocate planes to cove an invasion and the sea battle already cost me too many planes as it happened.
One of my biggest questions is your opening move for UK. Your Med ships took a defensive posture and you bought an airbase – rather than attacking my Italian battleship. Was this done to help with India? I’ve always thought a UK1 needed to be for defense of Sea Lion. I’m curious about your tactical thinking–although I can see you were driven partly by experimentation. What do you consider the most optimal UK1 purchase?

RE: Guam Solo vs crockett36 G40.2 oobposted in Play Boardgames
@crockett36 Moscow fell to the Japanese. I took a crack at Hawaii too, a little premature and you held it. I went ahead and finished the round. If you are ready to call it and talk strategy I’d love that. Thank for a great game. How do you want to proceed? Do you want to just just post questions and dialogue here?
I can start by asking about your defense of Calcutta. That was really the main reason I first asked to play you. If you recall, I was curious about counter moves to a Japanese full run at India using a tactic I saw Gargantua use in YG’s tournament. That being the air and navy base purchased on J2 and placed in Kwangsi. With the full Japanese forces assembled in Kwangsi they could strike India J3. The airbase allows the JAF to reach Calcutta providing it landed in Yunan. The Naval base there gave the +1 to the fleet to land jointly. You countered with a preemptive attack on Yunan with UK, as well as the allied navy you pieced together. However, you parked that allied fleet in the Indian Ocean and not as a defensive force to a Calcutta landing. I thought they were both excellent. I didn’t expect the preemptive strike because I anticipated you would keep US out as long as possible. But maybe seeing Seal Lion affected this. The fleet was too tempting to strike. In the end it delayed me. My normal purchase routine would be to buy minor IC’s for Japan. The first minor IC wasn’t purchased until round 3 when I saw the delay. I felt that gave India at least 2 turns or more. I had to build more tanks to make up for the loss of aircraft in the fleet battle. The tank purchases were also a switch in land tactics because you had placed a lot of AA guns in Calcutta and I was already thinning out due to the fleet battle losses. Anyways, that’s how I saw it in this particular theater and might be a good start for our discussion?
I want to say it again - thank you for the great game and all the time you gave it. I learned from it. You are a high level player and I feel I fortunate for how the game went.
