@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

Good choice - surely I will take my first hit(s) here? And probably lose the submarine

Man that was a very lucky G1 as you can see…
Should probably play it safe on J1 to avoid giving it right back… -
Not trying to be insulting to the rest of the fine Yankees playing in this tournament, but I would daresay the US could hardly do better than the pairing in this round. I love the brave choice of foregoing 6 IPC with the Germans, as well.
-
Heh - brave to forgo 6 IPC’s maybe, but I think it’s more of a chicken route…. Too chicken to give you a counterattack option
Your bid of a DD did about as well as mine vs. Zhukov. Definitely messed with my G1 though, so was probably still a success. With a little luck you take down a sub and a couple of fighters, while sparing the battleship… I think it will become one of my favorite placements (DD to 12)
Not sure I follow you on the “pairing in this round”… Are you saying it’s too bad one of us has to lose, or…?
I saw team Europe are pretty pleased with themselves…
-
Well, team Europe has 3 of probably the 5-10 best players on the scene (as much as you may not get along with one in particular :)). It’s too bad one of us is going down here.

Well at least I like Func and respect Yoshi… :-)
Hmmmm… maybe I should be throwing this game and trying to win G40 instead so I don’t have to play him again!
Looks like my “favorite” European player just took yet another very early exit in a tournament! :-)
He’s a legend in his own mind. -
IMO, Yoshi is as good as anyone on the planet. Maybe you don’t like Dutch, but he crushes like few others. I would say he’s the worst of their bunch, but hey that’s saying something quite impressive. Dutch has amassed quite a few impressive victories through the years. Aside from Yamamot0, he might be the best on AAA.
