@leemorrison This will be the thread where we can post turns back and fourth for the league
L21 Amon-Sul (Axis) vs Pejon_88 (Allies + 16)
-
i had a lot of not satisfied results while doing the Taranto thing with UK before on rd 1. I dislike that strategy cus its severely depends on the dice.
-
but here is different . u re ready to gamble as a part of a broader strategy. u had nice odds with usa to take my shan,
all i am sayin, considering sz 37 thing, its still a big risk.
that type of battle can go + - 150 from the original TUV prediction
-
ok i am finishing the german move soon
cheers

Russia can go
and as for the (potential) sz 37 battle
U have some general OOL
or shell we go round by round?
-
the air in sz 99 on Italian AC still
-
Some dilemmas for Russia. Eager too see the move.
And then we go for Japan.
-
@amon-sul Indeed! Was quite nervous when doing UK hehe.
-
@amon-sul You mean in other previous games?
-
@amon-sul Yup, I thought the risk of severely crippling Japan was worth it. Got 3 bombers out of the way and considering the new cost of 14IPC, they are rarely replaced now I feel. Japan is down to 15 planes in total and have to decide on SZ37. Problem with non-100% battles is that it can in most cases be one or two hits in either direction that is the difference from being a 50-50% battle instead, so it is quite safe to call it a 50-50% battle when counting luck, if you follow my train of thought. It usually deters people from attacking in those situations and since I put myself in a nice position I gambled. Right or wrong, I don’t know :)
-
@amon-sul Will play Soviet now so you have plenty of time to plan Japan. I hope to be quite fast in response to a potential attack and OOL. Only certain thing I can say right now is damaging the ACs and BB.
-
@amon-sul Yes, going to open the map now :)
-
@pejon_88 My defense dice are seriously lagging behind… I can on the top of my head tell you all defending tanks have missed, at least 3 of them that I can remember. Quite frustrating.
-
@pejon_88 I did a no-brainer miss with one UK inf in NCM. Was supposed to move to Mozambique and not Rhodesia. Will change during Soviets.

@pejon_88 said in L21 Amon-Sul (Axis) vs Pejon_88 (Allies + 16):
@amon-sul You mean in other previous games?
Yeah, the Taranto thing was my standard move before with Allies, but then I got diced a, few times, and saw the other good players dont go for it so often so i abandoned it as my standard uk 1 move. It doesnt mean i ll never play it, but Definitely not almost always as i used too
-
It started very badly for U,
Russia lost the battle against Italy,
2 unusually strong countries in this game met in rare head to head battle.
The Italians showed their strength.
But all other battles went very smoothly for U.
-
Will U be able to be online today some where between 12 and 14 hours CET?

@amon-sul said in L21 Amon-Sul (Axis) vs Pejon_88 (Allies + 16):
Ah U mean 1 inf in each terittory because of the Guerillas threat. ok. But to move to India and Russia?
Mechs are of course great for J as well. Big areas to cover. But you don’t want to end up using them for garrison. Also, with the inf-train you have 2 steps to Calcutta and 3 steps to Moscow. From Berlin it’s 5 steps to Moscow and 6 steps to Stalingrad/Caucasus.
The range and flexibility is simply more worth to G than J, and that’s because J usually needs to garrison China and has to have those inf in place anyway. In OOB mechs are a far superior unit on land also for J.

@amon-sul I will not sit by the computer, but look at my phone regularly.
