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.

  • '23 '22

    @amon-sul Indeed! Was quite nervous when doing UK hehe.

  • '23 '22

    @amon-sul You mean in other previous games?

  • '23 '22

    @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 :)

  • '23 '22

    @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.

  • '23 '22

    @amon-sul Yes, going to open the map now :)

  • '23 '22

    @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.

  • '23 '22

    @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.


  • @Pejon_88

    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.
