L23 - PtV - Mr_Stucifer (X+5) vs Gorshak (L)

[Gorshak]

@mr_stucifer

for sure not in the next couple of rounds:
Indian transport would have captured Borneo, ANZAC fighter from India would have sunk 3 Japanese transports and landed in Borneo.

IPC wise it would have been rather equal - but Japan’s expansion speed would be slowed down for 1-2 turns.

[Stucifer]

@Gorshak Oh, that would have been quite sneaky! I’ve been on both sides of gambits such as that in the past. I didn’t even see that possibility! 😛

@Gorshak Planned to just do a one-round combat. I took British infantry/aa gun casualties first since those are easier to replace locally than the American units.

Unfortunately dice were against me slightly, so it was a poor trade, might have been a bad move. But I did reduce American amphibious power for threatening France/Germany for another round.

Fall Blau failed.
The advance of the German Army Group South to Stalingrad the Caucasus oil fields came to a crushing end.

The Red Army freed Stalingrad from the German occupation force in operation Uranus while the main German force in the Caucasus was annihilated by the RAF. Apparently the Germans did not expect such an attack as their air defense was not very effective.

@Gorshak Yeah, did not anticipate the air attack in Northern Caucasus. Or see that the Queensland fighter could land on the CV from SZ 66. A worthwhile sacrifice by the Americans to keep their ANZAC comrades from certain destruction.

@Gorshak No sense dragging this out, more I look at the board the more I see how hopeless it is 😅 Good game sir

Congratulations, @Gorshak

This is your 3rd win and you are now officially ranked and will qualify for the playoffs.

However, unfortunately your PPG dropped despite winning…

Good Game!

Italy is pretty beaten, but Germany is still strong and Japan is owning the Pacific. Economically the Allies were leading, but I was still worried about Japan conquering Australia, Hawaii and/or India. That is why I shifted focus on the Pacific in the last 2 turns.

Thank you.

I also agree with many of your points regarding the league system (i will answer there too). By chance I was recently looking at the league system as this is my first season playing here.

I also wondered that you could lower your score by winning a game or that high ranked players sometimes dont want to play beginners as that would lower their points regardless of the outcome of the game.
