Alright, lets roll!
(as you mailed me, scramble 1 fig in Sco, no figs in England)
You’re right, I did want you to go for Sea Lion! We never played it out and I thought it would be a good occasion with the US in the game earlier. The plan was to hold the centre (Russia, UK Pacific and ANZAC), do max damage with the UK to slow Euro-Axis down, and wait for the cavalry. The first part went according to plan, the second didn’t, and my US play was poor.
Your opening was quite risky, but it’s a gamble and, as we said, the Axis must take a gamble at some point. If it doesn’t go well things go pretty downhill but hey, that’s why I’m counting the Japan re-roll as a win :wink:
Yes, you’re right, this is taking too long. I should have positioned my US buy better, I can’t take Hawaii this turn, then another turn positioning the fleet to invade Europe, then slogging to the VCs… The USSR will survive for another 3/4 turns, but I don’t have the pacience to play it out for the final rolls. Hawaii has been the problem the whole game, I should have defended it better and freed the US for Europe… I think I would have pulled it off, you’re nowhere near of taking Russia so I’d have the time. You did play very well in the Pacific though, particularly the economic warfare… I thought with the US coming in sooner you wouldn’t keep up, but you did. Oh well, lots to think about. But let’s not start another game now, this killed my productivity last week!
Damn…

It goes without saying that I was lucky with the extra ac, cc and fig I got out of the Hawaii battle (on average I would win with a few subs and planes).
Forgot to place the dd on the west coast, corrected map.
