@simon33:

Allies win.

I thought you were going to hit SZ113 by buying two CVs. That’s why I mobilised some of the TTs in an exposed position. I guess I haven’t gotten across the nuances of a Sea Lion then.

oh yeah, I considered it, but thought better to make a stand.  I got lucky in the 2nd round.

Done!

let’s switch sides if that’s ok?

Can you PM me your email address I can set it up…

@simon33:

I’ll give you 3 IPCs for Axis if you’re still up.

I am still up :lol:

3 ipc’s it is.
Will set up the game in about Six hours.
Still at work right now.

@ShadowHAwk:

@thespaceman:

But remember any destroyers built in japans turn are attacked in the US turn. Only 3 scrambles can join battle. Destroyers must be taken as casualties because subs cant hit planes. Once no destroyers left planes cannot attack.� �

Us can also add in planes flying out of Aleutian islands or russia in order to keep the seas clear of destroyers.

Unless you’re talking about bombers, they can’t fly out of the Aleutians. You can fly off CVs though.

Still, if the USA are dominant enough to pull this off, I feel like it’s a missed opportunity to not take Korea. Unless there’s tonne of units on it I suppose.

You build the destroyers slightly out of range, now the subs stay out of the convoy zones or you just kill them.
If you place only 1 sub in SZ6 i can ignore it if you place 2 then ill sink them at maby the cost of 1 destroyer

1. The deal with the subs vs destroyers. Its not going to be 1 or 2. If US commits to building 2-4 per round then by turn 3-5 when the attack goes in its going to be 5,10 or even 15 subs. 1-2 subs is a minor nuisance for Japan and can easily be defeated. 10 subs is another story.

2. If Japan is using its mainland factories to relieve its home Islands then this has already achieved the purpose of the blockade which is to shut off Japanese production of ground units and shift their focus north away from Anzac and UK Pac. It also has stopped transports shuttling troops between Japan and China.

3. The Korea factory as opposed to taking money islands allows US + Russia working together to start to rebuild China. Once China can start to regrow its units safely in the north Japan is now under attack from 5 directions

1. UK-Pac in Burma/Yunnan
2. China
3. Russia from west and north
4. US from North East
5. Anzac from South East.

Japan no longer has a safe area and the mainland factories will soon be under attack.

ok

game on its way

Yeah, I realized I made the mistake of not moving the carriers.

Of course I accept the surrender.

Thanks for the game.

@Ichabod:

@simon33:

Strikes me that the factory downgrade when you lose and regain a major is harsh and arguably unfair.

What if factories are limited to the production value of the territory if not on original soil, but also limited by the type of factory? .

Do you mean this restriction (of producing only the value number of the territory) only to apply for the countries that capture the major, like Japan capturing India, or the US landing on W. Germany just to reduce the factory to a minor?

I would think this would be another way to add some balance. Forward factories next to Russia only producing 2 units for Germany…ect.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.

I’m happy to go again in 2018.

I actually think that Allies will significantly have the advantage in BM if Allied play can improve like I think it can, not just a slight advantage. I just haven’t proved it yet.

Not only that, but 10 inf + planes is normally nowhere near enough to defend Moscow from Germany’s mobile force.

that’s it, well played ill post it!

A second unit to SZ96 is normally wise. You want to sink that transport.

Also, that tank would have been more useful reinforcing Egypt UK2 rather than attacking TransJordan. Attacking TJ is something I probably would have done, but with 1 inf only and take the 1 in 9 risk that the defenders roll 2 hits on the first round.

That works…will start this weekend!  Good game!

Thanks for the game. I was wondering what the Allies were planning for the last couple of turns or perhaps just hoping that I’d throw away my winning position?

Thanks for the game.

That’s the problem with the Spanish beachhead. Japan goes wild! You need a huge amount of USA’s income to keep it going.
