@arnalley I just recently moved to Eastern Kentucky and am looking for a group to play with! I typically play G40 but have played Anniversary and 1914 as well - will send you a pm as well.

@crockett36 Wow this was one of my best opening German turns ever! I think every battle went better than expected except for France (which was still fine). I hope Japan doesn’t pay for Germany’s good luck!!!

@victoryfirst I think the issue is that Russia only has one good place to bottleneck which is Bryansk. Not sure what the solution is, but that is my observed problem.

@crockett36 Japan’s turn was not as devastating - land battles went well, but the western allies put up a stiff defense at sea!

@crockett36 Haha you are right, the Anzac destroyer also thwarted my 50/50 gambit!

@crockett36 Germans luck not as strong - was hoping to keep both bombers alive!

I moved the Japanese Sub off Malaya in the edit mode as I accidently clicked to go on and it would not let me once I was in the placement phase. If any issue please let me know and edit it back.

@crockett36 from my understanding you just need to post on the League results thread? Not sure if I need to do anything.

@crockett36 I graciously accept your surrender - happy to start another, will send you a PM for the details.

Well played - was fun!

@tincanofthesea indeed - this greatly increased the “bid” if you will lol

@martin no worries - rest of my week is busy as well, we can take it a little slower :)

@pejon_88 glad to hear the subs are being a pest :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Full scramble both and the sub in 110 fights!

@jkeller And with that you formally win (informally it was like 4 rounds ago).

Very well played - I thought my early take of Berlin and the early holding of Shan State would be enough, but the Axis gained economic superiority and it was a slow bleed out from there.

I look forward to our next match :)

I thought I had this game in the bag up until mid game where your conservative positioning lead to the eventual economic advantage needed for victory. Very well played :)
