L24 PTV: Nikola1975 (Axis +12) vs. Stucifer (Allies)

@nikola1975 Yes I got pretty lucky in the sub battle, expected you to still have 1-2 convoying there. In hindsight I think you could have put your entire fleet in 112 and captured Eire with 1 infantry in case I tried shenanigans and you took a hit on a carrier.

@Stucifer I am getting a feeling that dice does not like the Emperor. That battleship last time, now Malaya and the whole of South-eastern Asia. You might get lucky with low chance attack, try it :)
Good job with the Soviets, though.

@Stucifer Bah. This is not fun anymore - the income difference is too big for few rounds now and I can’t see how to overturn it. You are defending all key points very well, and threatening to take some additional income in new round.
I will surrender. Very well played. It might have been too easy for you, this one?
Looking back what I did wrong:
-
The Iceland adventure to chase that battleship was probably the first big mistake in Europe - the fleet went too far away, it was basically shut off from the game for some time, allowing Allies to kill the Italian.
-
Not enough focus in Barbarossa.
-
Taking Guinea island seemed like like a good idea, but again, I was too far, and it was too easy for Americans to disrupt that income, while Pacific UK managed to build defense. Japan seemed ok for some time, but lost too much time there, while not really threatening Australia.
- Few wrong “small” decisions on battles, which just made the situation worse.
What do you think?

@nikola1975 I agree with all of those points.
-
Iceland the battle went well for you but gave me breathing room as the UK to put more money into Egypt without worrying about a Sealion. I almost didn’t scramble the fighters because losing those ships doesn’t put me any further behind than I usually am as the UK in the Atlantic with a German naval build on round 1.
-
Definitely put Italy to the screws and kept my income as UK to the point I was barely putting resources into the Med as the US. I think if you don’t do Sealion you are probably best off with Germany focusing on either supporting Italy getting its NOs in the Med or with Italy focusing on getting some income in Russia that can’t be convoyed and supporting Germany with a strong mechanized can-opener force, going for the Southern Caucasus hard.
I also prefer to push hard to Leningrad early and often build a 2nd transport in the Baltic to shuck 4 infantry in each round. This has the added benefit of making Norway a less tantalizing target to the Allies. It also lets me exert pressure on Moscow early while pivoting mechanized to Stalingrad, ideally forcing the USSR to retreat and only trade it by round 5 or 6. Italy if supporting can rush through to capture Southern Caucasus and at that point I should be around 80+ with Germany. -
Guinea/Solomons is a good NO to suffocate the ANZAC but you have to have really good fleet positioning to keep the flies away. Priority is always the money islands for me, but denying ANZAC or UK is pretty high too. I really like the Wake Island hold as the US if I can get away with it.
The Phillipines/SZ36 seems underrated in a lot of games I see as the primary staging area for your main fleet.
I like SZ37 and use it a lot but it, doesn’t have the reach to SZ55. From 36, you are forcing the Allies to use either 2 blockers or not hold 55. 36 also supports amphib attacks on Wake, Marshall, Gilbert, all of Indonesia, Queensland, and Malaya, while being able to retreat to SZ 6/7 to defend the Home Islands if necessary.
Generally I think attacking the USSR as Japan isn’t worth it, I almost always empty out Manchuria Korea and push south. If the soviets attack me, they don’t get the infantry, and I can use a couple subs between 5 & 6 to stifle any extra income they’d be getting. Eventually my economy is going from the big money in Indonesia that I can shuck some forces into Manchuria & Korea to retake that income and eventually chase them off the coast just by having a large air force and a bunch of transports for my Phillipines/FIC shuck in SZ 7.

@Stucifer Great points. Makes me want play a rematch 😀

I was worried about that armour stack coming through Ukraine for a while, but the lack of power up north let me shift everything down to Stalingrad. I think that is one of the clearest strategic errors in hindsight. 2nd was not taking Crete both to give Germans the NO and also to force a reaction from UK. For your bid as Italy if you are going to go Med I think a destroyer in 99 and an infantry in Tobruk is a better spend. Or a mech + armor between Albania and Northern Italy for a hard Barbarossa.
Although I would really stress bidding more units to Germany or Japan is more effective use of your money. If UK decides to roll the dice on the Toranto attack, even with the 3 plane scramble you are hard pressed to not lose those units as Italy, and if you do any naval buildup will be very slow and tedious. I like to try and feel the UK strategy out, let them risk the attack in 99 and take advantage of the board position that opens up elsewhere.
