Cmd Jen (Axis) vs Botider (Allies) Alpha+3 Gm 1
-
A) I’ve been trying to convince Larry and Krieghund that it’s a glaring hole in the rules. But they don’t care, you can attack any Russian territory with Japan so long as it does not border Mongolia and Mongolia won’t care. (Though, I thought the whole premise was that Mongolia would be worried about a Japanese hegemony…but whatever.)
B) Why are the Mongolians not worried about a German hegemony??? As I demonstrated, tanks can easily get around the Russians and sneak out some IPC in the far east. If Japan cant get it, it’s still a good way to sap Russian strength, right?
C) I feel, and I have no proof of this, that Larry wanted Japan to not ignore China (as I long advocated before the rule change) and instead get bogged down in the tarbaby known as China (way too much effort, no where CLOSE too enough reward. Maybe up Chihar to 2 IPC so you can put a complex there and we’d have something worth going for.) I went in this game, because I knew Germany was going for the Mongolian border so Japan could ignore the need to sap Russian strength.
But that’s how I feel. IF you want to wrack the pieces back and start over, maybe switch sides if you want, I’d be glad for another game - unless you want to continue this one now that you own the Atlantic and the Suez Canal.

oh, let’s keep going. the scenario is pretty fascinating regardless of how we got here. i want to see if i can hold off the japanese… get il duce off the couch and tell him rome is in danger! ;)

why did you take all of the ship bombardments against egypt in the second round? should the last three dice not count? shoot,… if i’d just hit something in the first round there i probably would held that. 8-)
-
eh, sorry. Well, one of the infantry and the bomber hit, so egypt was cleared anyway (both bomber and fictious battleship both hit…)
