@Karl7 Not keen to play allies without a significant bid in my favour. At our level the Axis absolutely have the edge. I think players should stop giving bids to the Axis!

I’ve set up the new game, here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/33361/karl7-allies-vs-simon33-axis-bm3-game-ii

Scrambles?

It definitely is.

I reckon we take a break.

Thanks for a good game. Yeah Japan got under a lot of pressure. And the russians didn’t get hurt for using all their eastern troops against Japan as well as some fast movers.
Best regards

OK, the league playoff semi-final match with Adam vs JuanSpain is set up with a Axis+9 bid. These are obviously high tier players. What is your thought on THAT?

Wow! Didn’t notice THAT! Looks like going to the Allies though. Adam514 is a really hard player to play. Just playing Adam, you’re wondering how on earth you’re going to win. I suspect maybe JuanSpain just got a bit carried away with trying something different here.

Gonna call it a game, well played Simon! We both made some mistakes…

I just wonder how this game would have gone had you kept your US fleet with the ANZAC fleet, and prevented the ANZAC crush? Wasn’t long after that that I took Moscow. So maybe I would have gotten Moscow anyway. Or maybe USA had to take its focus off Europe? I would guess the former, but Germany was seeming pretty weak. Perhaps I still would have taken Calcutta on the same highly delayed schedule.

Either way, the ANZAC crush consumed USA in the Pacific for a few turns and I didn’t have to fight around Indonesia at all.

Anyway, great game. I think with Germany busting through NW Persia, the Allies days are numbered.

Was stupid, didn’t think it trough. I had to invest too much in the pacific…

@simon33 No worries, the last few weeks have been pretty hectic for me. Sounds good. Feel free to start it up whenever.

I think the G4 DOW was a big factor there.

Haha GG!

Sure rematch, same orders for same opening.

Sure, can go again. I will be somewhat slow over the next days

@simon33 I mostly agree. I’m counting the 2 IPCs from west India, too – if you can take and hold India, you can probably also get west india.

@simon33 Sorry I have been on vacation. Also, I have found a couple other games right away so I think I am going to focus on those for now. I appreciate the willingness to play on but I do not think i will have the time right now for this game. I would love a rematch in the future though. Thanks again for playing.

Ok. If you change your mind I’ll be happy to pick it up.

Perhaps if we swap sides, and straight up?

One other thing, you might have given me faith in the allies again. A lot of my wins are from taking Moscow G7 but I think the allies are generally playing sub optimally - no scramble, falling back from Bryansk when they shouldn’t, no allied fighter reinforcement of Moscow. They’re probably the main things.

and technically, I didn’t need the AB in normandy, as my bomber would’ve reached the tps in 99 regardless.

also, as you took india and had the Chinese falling back in retreat, you should’ve bought more ships and pushed at me harder in the ocean and islands. you didn’t need to completely squash the Chinese, just keep them away from the coast. I feel you overbought on the land forces, as a pac win was the only feasible route for you, so lots of land units ended up being redundant, as I had no credible threat to the asian VCs.

Hmm, I miscounted then.

I don’t think I’ve ever won with 6VCs in the Pacific. It’s something of a weakness in my game, I think. I really struggle with the idea of buying less than 3 inf in each Asian IC. You don’t want to lose any of them.

I definitely agree about defending The Philippines. I don’t see the worry about the Korean IC. 2 subs would have been better value perhaps.

@simon33 that win is a long time in coming…good game. you are a strong opponent Simon.

@simon33
Nice suggestion about stopping the early crush. I think this should work!
