Hi, no worries!

@Omega1759:

Sorry for neglecting my game, tough week!

ok no problem! thanks for letting me know.

Just a reminder, if you could post the result.

Thanks again for the game. Let me know when you wanna rematch.

Now, I just have to wait for ME1945!

@simon33:

@Omega1759:

Pretty good rolling for you in 109

Not enough.

You win again. Rematch for this one? Same bid/placements.

Good game. I’ll wait a bit to take another game. You only want to redo your game as Allies?

Thank you for your Response.

You confirmed thoughts of mine. I posted allready the result in the Forum.

All in on our parallel game! :-)

@aequitas:

OK I guess that is it,
That game went off in my face too.

I concede.

GG

Wow, big deal. GG. This was gutsy move.

I think your play has good potential and with small tweaks you’ll get up in the rankings to tier 1 and beyond. The key with the allies is patience and forcing small battles with decent odds. Waiting for large battles to be in your favor is usually not good for the allies.

You kept your fleet in a single bulk and it is not easy to break it apart.
I figured sending small groups would be a waste of resources, since I faced the problem of logistic and dividing US income for both Theatres. That was the most challenging part for me.

I think I did good with Russia and made it a little bit tweaking for you to get a safe Hand on it. But with the vast amount you received and Japans help, you finally were able to built up the Kriegsmarine wich is never a good sign though.

I would love to Play another one in a few weeks against you.
What are you saying?

Thank you for your time I had fun and a great Challenge!

Haha, well if you want to play again, I’ll stop the advice there.  :-D

The timing for this battle and surrender was actually good because my personal computer fried up. I can’t play until I get a replacement.

Regarding the logistical difficulties, you have seen in this game logistics problems more than offset the favorable income differential the Allies had.

My thought was to go hard on the continent with a slow infantry push combined with a strong airforce and naval presence that would make it very expensive for the US to really have an impact on the continent.

Each time the Axis build a fighter you need: 1) Navy to defend your transports, 2) Troops to land, 3) more transports to carry the troops. So effectively it can cost 25-30 IPCs for the US to counter that German fighter on the continent. That’s the case because in the end the goal is to land, grab territory and hold it.

Good game!

Shows how resilient the Axis can be, Infantry and Subs!

It’s true that StuckToJo you’ve been victim of this tactic more than a few times!  :-D

@StuckTojo:

Naw, I’ve pretty much just been letting you have some fun the last round. We can call it quits.

Good game.

I’ll post the results. Let me know if you’d like a re-match, or if you’d like a break.

Good game, I’ll take another break!

You’re welcome. Good playing, by the way.

@StuckTojo:

Results are posted. Good game.

Good game! I feel sorry for the Japs!

All set, it’s ready.

@StuckTojo:

@Omega1759:

Good game.

Ok, let’s switch sides at 14?

Infantry in Yunnan, Artillery in Amur, Artillery in Siberia and Infantry in Hunan.

OK.

Can you start the game? I don’t know how.

It’s ready!

Income advantage:

Allies have 166 IPCs on hand, Axis only 109

TUV: The value of the units on the board is 1946 for the Allies vs. 1634. This is after Japan’s turn which is always the gloomy point for the Allies.

All the allies ships are alive and safe in the Pacific.

ok now it’s been 2 months and you have completely disappeared.  just like your idol cow.  or my primary theory is that you actually ARE cow since your disappearance corresponded with his.

i’ll just post the win.  if you ever come back i’m happy to continue tearing you to shreds.

@Imperious:

For a few days, then we clobbered them. Italy not so much.

The terrain of ITALY is very difficult do not forget…  AND  the forces deployed there were serverly short of supplies and new troops due to the build up for OverLord.

What is the meaning of liberating this thread!
