Sorry, couple of edits, was rushing to get this done. Meant to move the US CV to the channel to receive the 2 new fighters, but shift clicked the whole lot into the Med by mistake. As alsways, your choice whether to accept the edit.

Also, thought I had forgotten to pck up some UK infantry on a transport, but it was fine so undid that edit.

@martin thanks, good luck to you too and I’d love doing a rematch at some point.

Sorry haven’t been active in the league in a while, forgot about the posting thing haha

@martin Thanks for the games Martin, I’m sure we will have a chance to have more this year.

My feeling is that Germany capturing Moscow is a priority.

I’d study some games by strong players to see what they do with Japan who can be very formidable.

I’ve given up on Germany going to Persia instead of Moscow but stronger players might be able to pull it off.

Good luck in the playoffs!

Good game

Thanks for the game.

I think your g1 opening has room for improvement. Sbr on Ukraine is not advised.

Not enough units were killed.

Still, i think in general the strat has something going for it. It is similar to the cobra kai idea of siredblood i think.

Wrong name - please ignore

You are right - I think it is about time to give up. Japan is no monster and Yunnan out of reach - it cannot threaten to win in the Pacific. With the Western Axis falling, the US can use all of its economic power to fight Japan. Japan can just be happy that Russia cannot build a factory in the East…

Congratulations - well and patiently played! I will post the result.

@Martin Yes Japan went too far… If you had combine Germany and Japan at the same time it could have worked. But you need all the boats in the Pacific. If you capture India, then you can entertain a Japan trip in Africa!

You were close and Germany is really strong, It’s almost impossible for the allies to beat Germany, as you have 2 major complex + Italy. But when Japan crumbles, Germany cannot do everything lol…

It was fun, I am glad I won the rematch and I will be ready for another game in the new year if you are intested.

Hope all goes well in Germany :blush:

posted your win. Another?

@martin Hi Martin, I’d be happy to play again sometime although I’d want to re-bid to see who plays what.

Danke. Das lief mies, auch mit den Bombern. Ich bin gespannt, wie du die Allierten spielst. Ich mache nochmal 2 Spiele gegen FB BM+16. Ich würde gerne das Rückspiel aufsetzen. Lass uns telefonieren… LG Harry

@Martin Same as this game please!

Yeah, there just needs to be enough to stop an easy invasion, if it costs Germany a lot of planes then it’s a Pyrrhic victory and Russia will be hard to attack. Japan needs to not attack the US either to delay the US trying to retake England. It’s expensive to keep defending too, whereas once Russia is conquered the allies don’t take it back. Sealion might be a bad idea of the Italians get mauled on turn 1 as they then can’t take advantage of the lack of UK purchasing.

Hallo Harry,

also komme ich am Freitag den 13. (oh oh…) zu Dir und fahre am Dienstag den 17. Januar wieder zurück.

FlyingBadger hat mir aufgetragen, Dich davon zu überzeugen, dass Du gegen ihn aufgeben sollst, weil die Lage aussichtslos ist!

Eine schlechte Nachricht habe ich jedoch:

Well it took the threat of 18 transports full of GIs with square jaws and amazing teeth to force the surrender. Also all those double Germany-Japan turns must have been tiring! It was nice to have a different type of game. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

I think with a few different dice rolls then the Axis would have been able to take Persia or India and then roll up the other from there. Then the economic tables would have been turned on the Allies.

Do you want a rematch? Switch sides? You may of course take some R&R first.

Thanks for gracefully closing the issue!!

Also thank you for your fair play, especially when I screwed it up in the beginning, not knowing the rule that Germany cannot move into ex-Russian territory when not at war with the communists! It was very kind to let me re-do the move, even with Italy!
