@simon33 yup

I did feel very confident about this game until I lost Berlin. Even though Japan was a bit behind schedule, I liked Italy’s strength.

Perhaps I need a bit of a break from playing. Starting to seem like work a bit.

Good Game. Been a long time since we’ve played.

Japan lives or dies by its navy

I think you’re right but you also can’t ignore the land. So like all things A&A there’s a balance that you need to get right.

Thanks for the game.

?

You posted in the “Find League Opponents” thread, this thread was created in the league sub forum.

I guess it isn’t a problem because my rating would have reduced with this result.

You weren’t close to a Pacific victory, I wasn’t worried. Leaving Anzac able to take the DEI and keep their tp was a big mistake though.

Yeah this was closer than our other games.

Yeah, that London thing was a close call to even go for. Totally unplanned. Watching the security of London is something I’ve improved as I’ve played more, especially when multiple TTs are around. But there is always the possibility of a mid game unexpected sea lion. I think the 2017 championship game was decided this way.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the game. Happy to go again whenever you’re available.

Yes, the DD block is annoying and slows Japan down another turn. Nothing she can do about it.

But by threatening a Soviet move into Korea as you have done here, you make it virtually certain to not occur. 1 transport is needed to attack Korea but the others can reinforce with troops from Tokyo, if they aren’t attacking elsewhere of course.

I think I can thank the dice a fair bit for this. You weren’t able to do your normal neuter Japan strategy because the Chinese failed to kill the inf in Hunan and also Taranto failed. My Barbarossa faltered - can’t use that strat again. Still, Japan saw what it needed to do and it did it, successfully. So that part I can feel good about.

All those US fighters were just on static defense in Sydney. Seemed a negative strategy for that part. Perhaps necessary?

At the moment the us lost their fleet these fighters get static indeed…

You win, gg.

@simon33 could stretch it out a couple more turns. but it’ll be your game in the end anyways.
another?

I don’t know, not sure how competitive this game was.

@simon33

You are correct. I was thinking of the other game I was playing at the time.

And I meant to add, thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

I don’t think I’m going to try that strategy of moving into the Med too soon. Japan was left really, really weak. Perhaps strat bombing on India, perhaps collecting the extra 8IPC J1 from leaving FIC French could have made a difference. I guess building but never using an IC on Malaya was bad. As was not really defending the North.

Perhaps a problem is that the German fleet got way too far from Gibraltar.

As I’ve done too often I gave up Norway too easily. If I had no transports nearby, should have had some troops within reach.

Thanks for the game. Let me know if you want to go again.

@simon33 thanks for the game
