I didn’t notice that you could get those two fighters in West USA into the SZ6 battle. Might have done things differently then.

@taamvan:

Just played Game 103, not feeling Malaya. Its not usually taken on J2, more likely J3 and then only placing factory on J4 and units J5, too slow. J2-J3 anywhere else.

Japan and UK money is perfectly balanced so that if they are running an MiC (or 2) they don’t have $$ for the other stuff they want and need.

Actually just tried it for the first time. I had only one IC, in FIC and needed more troops to take down India but no more for China. Seems to be working in this case.

simon33

Full scramble SZ6. Kamikaze 3 each on the carriers.

OOL SZ6: dent CV.
If US CVs are both undamaged then lose DD, Max D thereafter.
IF US CVs are both damaged or sunk, then lose CV first.

OOL SZ37: dent BB & CV, lose CV, Max D.

@Arthur:

Despite being spotted a 20-25 PU bid, the Allies till only win 40% of the time in League play. I would hardly call that balanced. Bids might have to approach 30 PUs to gain true balance. I often win as Axis with an economic focus, avoiding the big battles in India and Moscow. When the Axis has more income than the Allies, a win is usually assured.

In spite of you 3-peating me, I would say that small moves at the start make a very large difference.

Some standard moves/inactions I find quite incomprehensible. Not landing on Sumatra or buying an Indian fighter UK1 are my two faves. Majority of my games as Allies don’t see Calcutta fall. Although I have much more trouble holding on to Moscow than most.

I’m not convinced that the convention wisdom is fully evolved. I guess that means this game has life in it yet even for experienced players. Says something pretty solid about it.

Tech superior USSR doesn’t help much when Moscow falls early!

Axis have 8 victory cities in Europe and I won’t be able to take one back this turn. I concede this one.

I think where I went wrong here from the history is all those troops caught in Kiev. History repeating. Perhaps I should have sacrificed them by attempting to return to Moscow via Bryansk. Need to keep tabs on those heavy armour buys in the early rounds. They really affect Barbarossa.
