scramble in scotland

Scrambles?

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!

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.
