Yeah thanks. Good attack. Perhaps I shouldn’t have exposed myself to dice on the defence in Bryansk.

Cool, the new game is up!

Oh right yeah.

Fighter Scotland. Sub SZ98

2 to UK Pac bank.

Yeah, but not if the assault is from SZ114.

Ok, posted. Sorry, looks like I forgot about that.

One thing I learnt from this game is that you can be better off holding off on the Moscow assault to retake Norway. Flying fighters to Moscow is a real problem for Germany.

In my opinion, you actually spent far too much effort trying to reconquer Norway. If you had poured those resources into killing Moscow, especially after my serious blunder on R3 (or 4 if it was 4), you probably would have won. True, you would have lost Finland, but it would have taken me several turns to push you out of Leningrad. By that time you could have destroyed the Russian resistance. Go back at any point and add the mechs and artillery you had in Finland to your attack on Moscow – you would have easily won the battle. Then you would have been fighting a two front war instead of a three front war.

Yeah, I thought I had enough to retake Norway but you kept reinforcing more than I expected. Same problem in Moscow.

No, the axis concede to the might of the allies.

Re: DOW. I see that you did that round 3! I never attacked Siberia? I wonder why not. Perhaps I just forgot.

I edited the XML.

@simon33:

Yeah, I guess so. And in Game I you went after them pretty hard with Russia. I don’t think I’ve seen that strategy being so aggressively pursued before. Seems to work.

If you can keep Japan at bay, it’s a big deal. Big difference in USA spend between strong Japan and weak Japan.

I view the early Soviet involvement against Japan as an investment (more help on USA Atlantic, from UK Pacific and more less likelihood of getting Soviet income chopped up)

New game is set up here:

Ha! I think I have it!

USA1 buys a CV for New York, USA2 moves it to SZ123 but leaves the fighters on Iceland. USSR3 two planes leave Leningrad, kill the blocker and land on the USN’s CV. If the USSR Barents Sea sub is still alive that can join also.

Requires trimming my USA1 purchases to 1inf 1TT 2DD 1ftr 1CV.

scramble in sz110 or sz111?

Not sure how recycling of dice works with the league rules. I’d rather not raise eyebrows.

Yeah, GG.

I’ll switch. I do better as Allies apparently.

I’m ready for a rematch. Same sides or switch?

Congrats on your promotion to tier 2 BTW.

Yeah, ok.

I’ll take a sub in SZ98.

thanks for the game!

I think this game has eluded me. I concede.

BTW, I don’t really think the attack on SZ33 was that much of a Hail Mary. It was about a 50/50 battle IIRC, which just didn’t come off. I don’t really think there was any way of me winning the game without succeeding in taking down the TT(s) in that attack though.

@simon33:

Oh this game is toast for me. You’re about to get on Rome and Berlin won’t be too far behind, meanwhile Japan can’t win. I’ll post the result.

Good game.  You had bad luck in there UK. But then you had some awesome luck later…. would’ve been different game it that luck was reversed.

You can be allies, ill set it up
