[gamerman01]

Thanks for that, you are very gracious. Sounds like we need that game 3 we were planning on.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Yes, that has been my new approach playing the Axis. Pushing as much as I can, but more importantly defend against an Allied landing. We’ll see if I play too defensively, but in our game I would think not since I grabbed Egypt early on. Also, my Japanese fleet is superior, which is of course important to not lose money islands or similar at this point in the game.

@gamerman01 but in our game I would think not since I grabbed Egypt early on.

That is the story of the game as we established before. I can’t blame the dice for Z95 - with no scramble I needed a destroyer or cruiser to hit me to free up the carrier, and of course that’s when you miss me!!
But the Germans have to do the super dicey airstrike of British fleet in the Med, often, and that could have been the end of it right there, but you lost 5 planes instead of the expected 3-4. UNFORTUNATELY for me!? unless I somehow pull out of the 11 round dive. LOL still a great game, many hours of thinking hard.
