@ArtofWar1947
I appreciate the compliment on the Europe side - it’s my stronger side in all versions. Both for axis and the allies.
The pac side is my biggest weak point, and the force projection is so much different than the normal map, I had no idea what to do. I understand you point on the planning - I was putting a solid 2 hours into this game each turn, and my head would spin looking at Japan.
I appreciate your input. Happy hunting. Look forward to another game with you in the future.
L24 PTV ArtofWar (Ax+10) v Mainah (Al)
ArtofWar (X) trounces Mainah. A game between Madrid Real and the Boston 50+ Soccer league would have been a closer match.

@ArtofWar1947 said in L24 PTV ArtofWar (Ax+10) v Mainah (Al):
Scramble to SZ 35 or the Carolines?
Damn. Not sure what I was thinking - other than I have been mentally over-whelmed in this game since J2. When you posted J3, I knew I would lose, but thought I’d play out a few rounds so I could learn. Somehow in my head I thought I would prep for a hail-mary next round, but instead made a colossal mistake, plain and simple, and I don’t see the point in continuing. From here, I just lose, with no true lessons to be learned.
I thank you for the game. I have already spent some time analyzing it and have more to do. Much to learn. This map is soo much different from OOB/BM4, and each time I play it, my opponent shows some other angle that I didn’t know existed. I think I will need to clear my game schedule, and play just 1-2 PTV games very carefully and slowly, when I do decide to play this map again. Later in the season.

@WindowWasher
No worries.
Take time to take care of yourself. I am not one to bump.
@GeneralDisarray
I know it’s hard to to give a real analysis due to the dice results, but if you don’t mind sharing your expertise - what of the concept of hitting 95 instead of the normal taranto?
The cat is out of the bag and a corpse now, so I don’t think anything you write will undermine your position in this game.
@GeneralDisarray
Got to think hard about the next few rounds
Not ashamed to say I poured myself a stiff one after that battle. You don’t plan for a 4 in 10000 result.
@GeneralDisarray
I got to ask - why did you not attack malta?
Hit the wrong button for your sub, but it didn’t matter in the combat results. I edited it back in. Sorry for that.
