Of course there are exceptions to these rules, (Like if Japan is TERRIBLE at the game)  but in general as the U.S. if you have what they have, you are better off, and have got somewhere to start from.

OK, I’m going to post this one as a forfit.

I’m going to call this one since it’s been nearly a month of no replies.

You have defaulted the game by not posting for 9 days.

@Jeff28:

I think you are improving, keep up the good work.

–Jeff

That doesn’t help if my opponents also improve.  The Kwangsi Air Base + Naval Base pretty much makes Japan unbeatable in the time you have available as the Allies to avoid losing in Europe.  Unless somebody can convince me that Russia can hold out past round 7 against a German player determined to take them down, this game is un-winnable for the Allies at reasonable bids.  You need at least 2 UK subs in the Med, possibly +2 Chinese Inf in Yunnan and the ANZAC Inf in Guinea.  Basically you need over 20 bid to handle a fair fight.  The alternative is to make sure the guy likely to make the most mistakes is the Axis.

@Jeff28:

If you retake paris Germany would get another 19 ipcs, right?

The IPC bonus is only for the first time you capture a capitol.

There is never a bonus for capital captures except for the Russian NO regarding Berlin.�  Jeff28 is right, if France somehow recaptures Paris F1, then they will collect income at the end of their turn which will just be harvested again by Germany on G2.�  It may feel like you’re getting some kind of bonus for sacking Paris, but you’re just collecting their starting income that they never get a chance to spend.

Not true. There is a German NO (bonus) for controlling Moscow, 5 IPC’s.

You misread my comment.  I was replying to a person who seemed to claim that you get a bonus the first time you capture an enemy capital.  That has nothing to do with the NOs for holding a territory.

Well played. Maybe I’ll try the rematch soon as I wrap a couple other games up.

–Jeff

i look forward to the rematch

Thanks to you too!

Good game and good luck.

Yeah first post in the post results thread.

–Jeff

I thought that’s what you wanted  :lol:

Also, I think you posted the result in the wrong forum.

Thanks,
–Jeff

Thank you djensen…I hope you had a good Christmas!
Have a great New Year!

OK jeff.  have fun!

Ok, no response so I’m going to call it.

Let me know if you want a rematch.

–Jeff

didn’t have time to read all of it, but one thing that has probably not been mentioned;

when germany is capable of taking moscow, then, it is time to retreat, if you alow his stack to kill you in moscow, and then turn south, it is hard to defend cairo, if you retreat from moscow, and force him to keep his stack there, then that stack will not turn south. at this point you will prolly only collect like 8 ipc anyways, while your army should be worth at least 250 IPC, prolly like 300, do not let him kill it for half the number of IPC, then it is far better to let him get moscow, and keep retreating, forcing him to either build a completly new army to attack cairo over land, or to alow you back into moscow at some point.
