Slight edit, swapping mech and armor between India, Burma
-
@gamerman01 I thought I didn’t want to lose my German air force or having 3 planes left. Also, even if I’d lost you probably would’ve been left with 2-3 ships -> 1-2 German planes lost and Italian navy had a chance to make a difference while alive.
-
@gamerman01 Ouch, yes! That was a major swing in the Axis favor!! +5TUV for the Allies turned into -50 :O
-
@gamerman01 Yes, If I don’t recall wrong, you wanted to lose one fig in SZ95 to avoid going to SZ93 with the AC?
-
@gamerman01 No I understand completely! It’s important to put your thoughts “on paper” after such a big/important battle! Like when I almost lost Japan versus Pacifiersboard the other week!
-
@gamerman01 Ok, am I good to go?

Great memory, that sounds right. Dice went in my favor when the German air attacked then. But at a glance, it looks like that’s why I lost Egypt. Carrier to 92, Germans don’t destroy carrier, fighters go to Egypt? Just at a glance.
-
@pejon_88 Oh yeah, only that tiny edit so that I can threaten Malaya
-
@gamerman01 Oh right I lost 5 planes in SZ93 in this game. Now I get it. Yeah that was hard!
-
I hated to spend a destroyer on 41, but could comfortably hold India and Burma that way. Might not be able to slip a blocker in, in the future, so probably a good idea to use it now.
I definitely considered just holing up in India, but thought this is better. Hate to use a precious Indian Ocean destroyer when it’s not directly protecting India from an overwhelming attack, but I suppose a great player can usually stop the block or make it insignificant anyway.
Like most, I usually go USA to Queensland, but I might be falling in love with the North route. Until you show it’s weak. -
@gamerman01 Understand.
Btw can’t see the combat hit differentials on UK3, but Axis hit your BB, killed one inf and then I think above average in SZ97 too!
-
@pejon_88 Right! Maybe we’ll both be more dialed in now that I’m down to 2 games.

I went with a bit risky BB on DD in 39, and it became interesting so I was just glad to win.
97 was bad.
I had great luck in Yunnan, which could be tricky or even really bad for you, so we’ll see. -
@gamerman01 I think Burma is the right move here. You have to threaten Japan a lot now! Will also see what to make of the US going to Iwo Jima. At first glance and a quick calculation just after US3 the best approach would be to stack and build in SZ6 since no NB on IJ yet. Wasn’t sure about the two US subs going to SZ6, must be some kind of trap ;)

Now it’s a good thing I spent the destroyer and stayed in Burma since I got lucky with all 3 infantry remaining.
But anyway, the Italians are a big problem. I’ve had them blow up on me in a previous game a long time ago, but consolation is they only have a battleship and no transports right now.
-
@gamerman01 Yes agreed! Heavy downside of course being UK EU not having any navy at the moment and US having to re-consider their priorities + a German navy.
-
@gamerman01 Sorry, except the newly built DD and sub.
-
@pejon_88 Right, I meant at the end of UK3
Don’t even remember why I went with 2 subs, I guess I really wanted to make you send a destroyer. Almost wondered why I didn’t attack with them, but now I know it’s because only after surviving with a DD do I know they won’t be needed at Iwo
I’ll have to check on the camp in Zone 6 possibility I had
-
Oh, I don’t even need to check. Probably didn’t want to be sitting in Z6 with no naval base
