Yeah, thanks for the game. Was interesting.

I think you should have unloaded at least one of your US CVs in SZ39. I might not have moved my fleet to SZ42 then.

Thanks for the game! Was a nail biter for me.

I’m going to concede this (I’m also conceding the other matches I currently have ongoing). Pretty busy right now and can’t easily fit these games in. Thanks for your patience and for giving me a game - I appreciate it! I’ll make the post in the thread.

bump #3.

@simon33 said in JWW (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM3:

Yep, ok. Let me know your placements.

UK DD in z110

@simon33:

Oh quite. It seems that 32bit Windows doesn’t allow Java to use more than 1100MB or so.

Painful.

Yes, 32-bit Windows has some RAM limitations/restrictions.

Merry christmas!

Thanks for the game. Things went largely to plan for the axis in this one (except uk7). I’m still confused as to what the allies can do when dice don’t interrupt the axis’ plans. Perhaps fly some UK planes to Bryansk to block the taking of that G5? If that would work, Germany would be slowed.

@simon33
not sure what I was thinking with the transports… I failed in both theaters of war. thanks for the game

I think USSR helping China is probably optimal. I guess the degree of help is a debatable point.

Still playing?

Thanks for the game.

Just checked the odds, and even if the lone tank retreats, there’s only about a 5% chance of not killing the infantry in that battle for Normandy. Some may say that’s too much. Hmm.

I agree. Even holding Persia will be almost impossible.

same thing, could you just fight with china and see what you get

Sure we can play another one. You want axis again or shall I try it this time?

Thanks for the game.

I’m really not sure where the allies can go if the axis do the critical things perfectly. MrRoboto has an interesting strategy though - might force me to invest in a third factory for Japan.

@MrRoboto:

Shall we play another?

Ok. I’m assuming you are still up for playing the allies.

I’ve set it up here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=42563.0

Scrambles?

bump #4

Sorry about that, MrRoboto. Can you fix that Desert_Admiral?

A major setback losing Rome. I didn’t expect that attack, but it worked.

GG!

Want a rematch?

@simon33:

@axis-dominion:

so you want me to be axis with +4?

I guess that’s only fair. Could be a short game.

BTW, would you have made that attack on SZ41?

probably not, at least not anymore, after I had similar odds/tuv against BSD recently, and also lost that battle big, which ultimately led to my loss (an otherwise fairly easy allied win as I had great momentum and income and advantage). made me rethink going in for big naval battles that are only like 80ish or 90ish odds, especially if I am not desperate to do so. and now seeing what happened to you, I will almost certainly not take the big risk, so long as I’m not desperate.
