Thank you for a good game.

Go again? I prefer same sides.

Oh and thanks for the game.

looks like i got distracted with india during usa/UK. good game. I will post it

@simon33

cool, GG.

@simon33 Ok, I can understand that rationale.

I think you can learn/improve something from every game played irrespective of a win or lose so it’s not played in vain.

@soulblighter 2 more objectives for japan*

As for leaving Normandy and Southern France empty, I guess an adjustment might be in order. Too much USA income from just dropping 1 inf on Normandy and N Italy can be attacked by too many planes which can land on Sth France. So maybe take SF only. That gives you 3/5 of the income anyway.

@simon33 Ok, I see.

Ok, you can start the game. If we do same bid I will do subs SZ106, 111 and 91. 1 IPC to UK Pac.

Otherwise let’s bid in the chat.

I do have one bit of feedback. USA rarely left Hawaii in the Pacific. I think they could have done more to slow down Japan. I don’t know if I left too many major gaps but at least liberating the Solomon Islands would have helped ANZAC and denied me an objective.

Also a few more subs in SZ97 would have disrupted Italy more than they were. They were never that strong but they could get some income past the 3 subs.

Thanks for the game!

Hm, I looked into that game now. There was a problem with your aggressive Soviet tactics :) That Scandinavian gambit had to break one time.

When you want to play again, I have time, the only game I am playing now is actually against 666.

@simon33

Didn’t happen, even with 2.7.

Thank you for a good game

Regarding not taking Normandy and Sth France, I still think that is positive so long as Paris is defended. I didn’t do the latter.

Oh and thanks for the game

Thanks for the game. I’m a bit surprised you gave up here, you have a bunch of planes which could fly into London so I think with a determined effort I probably couldn’t take it. I guess you are thinking that you can’t defend Egypt, which is probably about right.

Had to b line for Russia. Appreciate the game hope to play in the future.

Yeah that little detail is pretty important. In this game it cost you the Burma road when otherwise you probably would have had it for 5rounds or so

Result posted. Not ready for another game - a few things on right now.

@simon33 said in ArtOfWar1947 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis) PtV:

I think if you had have held on to Moscow, which I took at about the time you reclaimed London, this game may have been somewhat more competitive. I lost a big chunk of the IJN quite early off the Gilberts. I should have been able to defend London better than that. So we both made mistakes, although losing London early and cheaply was probably the most critical one.

////I agree. The Ally problem was that without the UK, it was hard to put pressure on Germany in the west and give Russia some relief.
No doubt that losing the UK early was a critical/game-costing blunder.

As for the correct bid, I think it is quite tough for the allies with a +6(TT) or +5(marine) bid to Japan when combined with a properly executed J1 attack. Conversely, it is really difficult for the Axis with a +4 or lower bid to the Axis. So in my mind, the map is fundamentally broken as is.
////Do you want to try Axis+4?
