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.

I thought you should have attacked W India the turn before. I also think you could have lost a bomber in the attack on India but then I would have just been able to retake it.

Anyway, I’m not really sure why I haven’t had more success with this plan. I think I just haven’t sorted out the nuances. The naval base on Iceland allows you to sail around a blocker in SZ124, but two blockers can still stop the advance. You also need to be careful that they can’t sink your fleet in SZ123. Besides those two problems, I think the plan is great!

Happy to play again when you’re up for it.

Bump #1

Not sure if I was clear before. I absolutely agree that I won this on the basis of very lucky dice rolls at key moments.

And sorry about NW Persia. Didn’t realize I couldn’t do that.

Again, thanks for the game.

It’s hard when Egypt falls early.

20 finished games will probably take a couple months.

If you want to start a rematch when I get closer to that, I’d be willing to play again.

Axis dice didn’t do you any favors in this match.

Thanks for the game.

Duplicate. Please delete.

I figured if Italy sent everything in range on a suicide mission, they might weaken Paris enough for the Germans to have a chance at sacking it.

But I acknowledge, even if that worked, Axis will still have lost the initiative.

Sorry that turned out to be such a short match.  :|

Your tactics were pretty good if it’s your first outing against a G1. A lot of people don’t buy the extra fighters as USSR, but normally I would J3 DOW in the Pacific but I was overly aggressive there I think, particularly with failing to take Yunnan J1.

You had enough to either stop me from getting on Iraq or to retake it pretty quickly.

sure, so it wont count for the leauge we wont post it? same sides are fine so we can try some stuff out

I concede.

thought i had one more turn with britain, but i was wrong. GG

want to play another?

posting vic for you

@simon33:

Sorry about the delay. I’ve been wondering what to do about this game. Japan appears to have been defeated. Germany has been slowed, in part due to miscalculations on my part. While I will get on Moscow shortly, the Mid East is too strong. With India about to come west, I cannot see how I can win.

I concede.

I thought about a sea lion when I saw the IC placed in Egypt. I think I probably should have done it but I wanted to stick to the plan. Not the best move there.
