my first impression is, I dont encourage J1… but maybe i do. i havent seen a J1 Hawaii move in a decade or so, so I need some time to consider. Are you Magnus Carlsen??? Trying to outplay me from day one 1 by doing odd moves???

sorry for the delay, its comimg up in a min or two

I have it more or less sorted out. But wont move right now, more like saturday morning my time

Overall that went well, but looks like I better stay away from Hunnan. 3 out of 3 hits on defence!

It would be nice, if your cruiser didnt hit and my BB stayed undamaged, It will be interesting to see if you go for the about 50:50 battle after I move my Anzac cruiser…

The med is a pain as you can see and pointed out. You have the middle east if you choose too. (for now)

I am happy your BB in 110 missed it makes life easier of gibraltar…

(I think it is important to keep that japanese cruiser of malaya alive after a J1 to avoid the FIC counter). It slows Japan down a bit
And of course there is also sea lion to worry about… :(

Pretty lame on tech here, but it will change… i need every unit i can field, not just one place, but everywhere

I am sad that the game only went on for 3 rounds.

Yes, Taranto was bad for you, no doubt. I have done the same thing as you saving the carrier and landing the planes there. I think you shouldnt do that. Even in this situation Germany is only supposed to lose two or three planes i they bring in everything. Is it worth it? I dont think so. But Taranto itself is not a bad move

I am curious about your three mistakes in the pacific? Can you share? Well, moving the fleet next to Japan require big balls I think as you are completely out of position for the money islands. I think you planned on landing in Korea. Maybe that move is a mistake? What are the other two?

Again, I am sorry the game is so over so fast. But as always you are a gentleman to play against

@AndrewAAGamer said in OOB playoff oysteilo (axis) vs. AndrewAAGamer (allies +59):

1. Should have bought 2 mech for India UK1 to assist in reinforcing Yunnan on UK2.
2. Should have stayed in Yunnan on C2 using all the Russians to assist in defense. As it was I wanted the Russians to go to Iraq which was a blunder.
3. Since I was gong for Korea I should have brought the 3 ANZAC fighters to Hawaii to land on Korea.

Fair ponts. Personally i think the Yunnan bid of +23 is the strongest bid you can do for +23. It is a no brainer to me. It should prevent J1, which is important. If you do the bid and still J1 I think Japan is in real danger of losing control of China especially with a 3 transport build. So I agree, it is VERY important to be aggressive with India if this is done. The retreat to India UK2 ws probably not your strongest move. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

agreed, not a great start for the axis here and a 60 bid would be hard for sure, but you have something to pull out of your sleeve. I am sure

It helps a little if you tick “show map blends” under view (i think)

I am away for a few days now

I am having a hard time vs farmboy in the other game where more or less everything is below average dice.

I guess the french inf bid paid off this time. Its a silly bid but fun to do.

I think it works better in BM if you want to avoid vichy

Watch out, I will even roll tech for china from now 👍

even after 10 years or so “new” situations keep poping up. Thats what I like about this game!

loging in again helped, thanks!

NM, I don’t think I want to do tokens, actually. Benefits the allies too much, having more powers in play.

I am not sure I understand either way?

you mean the tokens stay after unsuccessfull research? No, I dont want that

lets see if we can develope some techs here

its possible i missed a couple of planes in my calc. Dont recall about a 90% chance on this. i hate this map

Coming up in a day or two

@GovZ said in GovZ (Allies +41) vs. oysteilo:

Not really - I just decided the attack on your ships was way to dicey to risk. I ended up taking the safe option across the board.

I judged it that way when I did Japan. That you woudnt do it. Nevertheless, it is a great question to ask!
