@Daaras Hope all is well, USA/China/UK are up.
Allies (+16) vs. Axis (darkskies) Coop

With low luck the opening rolls are less important. The main one is the sinking of the BB which costs a fighter on a hit. I need the cruiser for blocking the British fleet from retaking FIC. Either way, there are 6 loaded transports + >20 planes that can hit India somewhere between J3-J5. India will only have ~20 infantry + 3AA + 3 planes. Japan will lose a few planes, but at an income of ~80 PUs will be able to rebuild quickly. It is a rough start for the Allies in the Pacific when Japan is aggressive.
It appears that I forgot to Non-com move my 3Inf+art from Kiangsu to Anhwe. Could I trouble you to make that move before China goes? It is so hard to remember all of the intricate moves required for a great J1!

Back a little earlier than expected.
I’ll move your units to Ahnwe, no problem. IF I can think about it during my turn ;-).

Little deliberation:
I think I will have to redo the first allied turns (USA, CHI, UK). I don’t know how you see this situation, but I see Germany air-blitzing both Egypt AND Tobruk now, wich will deliver Egypt into the Italian lap. Nothing the UK can do about that. I could hope for a little luck costing Germany 4 aircraft for the Blitz, but I don’t want to base my/any strategy on luck. besides, I don’t think loosing 4air will give Germany enough problems in Russia, ultimately. So -> Game over.The UK can prevent this by also taking out Ethiopia. As I said, I don’t want to base my strategy on luck, so that’s going to cost somewhere else. If you want to rule out game-loosing luck with the UK in Africa (with LL anyway), they need 1 or two FTR from London to assist in #97 to free up forces that can attack Ethiopia, or they need the TRS from India attacking Ethiopia. Or even a bit of both…
I am no big fan of using and loosing both the London FTR only to replace it with 2 new FTR since it leaves London wide open for SL. We know in our playtest that SL is not going to happen, but in a normal game you don’t know that. Testing a strategy that does not consider a certain option defeats the purpose of the testing…
Weakening India comes with a well-known price as well, but Egypt must be held and therefore Ethiopia must be attacked as well. If the choice is India or Egypt, India must be weakened. If the choice is building 9INF in London (because the two FTR end up in #97 and will be lost permanently) or loose Egypt, 9INF it is then. What is your say in all this?Anyway, therefore I want to roll back to US1. Ethiopia must be taken, even if this weakens India and/or means that London can only produce 9INF because they fly-and-loose their 2FTR into #97… I hope I can do it with only the 2FTR from London and leave India in the position it is in right now, but I remember you did it in our previous playtest with only those ‘2 from London’ and the attack in Ethiopia could easily have gone wrong -> problems for Egypt, and I don’t want that.
-
Just for the record (no need to discuss this), I just want to mention it. But feel free to respond if anything useful can be said:
I am trying out the 100% agressive options for the UK in Africa. I am usually much more conservative (defensive) around Egypt and I know the merits of that already, but maybe that is due to the fact that I usually play bidless, I don’t know.
So far I must conclude that the agressive UK approach still looks dangerous for the allies, even with this +20 bid because it will leave Egypt practically empty!
I definately see ways for the UK to prevent disaster (a long term occupation of Egypt by Italy) but I also see a lot of danger from Germany and Italy still, so I’ll have to see a couple of turns after the roll back. A lot still depends too much on the outcome of the opening battles. -
Let’s keep playing the way it is now. I will skip the potential Egypt attack for another round, giving you enough time to rearrange your Attacking Ethiopia and Tobruk is a good strategy for UK1 and prevents Italy from ever recovering in Africa.
Please do put more forces in London next round. I could SL this round with a high chance of winning, using just my single transport. I really don’t want to be testing out that strategy in this game. Nevertheless, it would be unfair for the UK of having the advantage of not needing as many PUs spent in London.

@Arthur:
Let’s keep playing the way it is now. I will skip the potential Egypt attack for another round, giving you enough time to rearrange your
Okay, that’s another way of doing it. If you want that I’ll go along with it. I hope you do know that it takes 2 rounds for UK to deal with ‘Ethiopia’ (who are now in Sudan) from how it is now. 2INF + 1STR have a high chance of failure against 2INF + 1ART.
@Arthur:
Attacking Ethiopia and Tobruk is a good strategy for UK1 and prevents Italy from ever recovering in Africa.
Maybe. IIRC, you took Ethiopia with 60% chance of success. I don’t mean to criticise you, but that’s not the way I want to play it :|. If that 40% chance of failure hits UK, that attack will backfire. Also, if the lone Italian DD in #96 scores a hit, you must loose a FTR (loose the CA and Italy can invade next to Egypt with Germany landing the Luftwaffe in it, after airblitzing Egypt itself), which is a critical unit for attack AND defense in the area.
If the UK is to be aggressive in Africa (in addition to the Med itself), then they must achieve all of the following UK1:
-take out #96 and #97, and the CA must be left in #96 as blocker;
-take out Tobruk 100%
-take out Etiopia 100%
Maybe my personal style is flawed, but I don’t like to loose the game because of a 60% chance to winning in Ethiopia (or wherever else) backfired. Both Tobruk and Ethiopia need to be attacks with >>90% winchance if you ask me.
After the first turn it becomes a bit of trying to predict tealeafs so I’ll dot do that now.@Arthur:
Please do put more forces in London next round. I could SL this round with a high chance of winning, using just my single transport. I really don’t want to be testing out that strategy in this game. Nevertheless, it would be unfair for the UK of having the advantage of not needing as many PUs spent in London.
I know. I was in the same position our previous game. You had 15-18 units in/in range of London and it is the same for me now. It is one of the things London must accept if they are aggressive in the Med + Africa, I said that earlier too.
My Germans had the same options early as you have now:
-Attack London with a 60% - 100% chance of taking it (depending on the success of the Italian STR) and loosing 8-10 aircraft in the Process.
-Fly south with the Luftwaffe for threat projection there and ~GE3, fly east to subdue Russia.I choose the second option because I knew that with at least 8 airlosses and 1 surviving land unit in London SL is considered a trap by most players. Germany cannot push deep into Russia anytime soon, so Russia will produce angrily. With the USA also coming from US4, Germany will likely be in trouble. At least, that is my quick consideration. If you wish to go for London instead of Russia, go ahead and try. Allows us to get that out of the way as well ;-).
As it is right now, London is fine, but as soon as Germany has all its Luftwaffe in range and/or builds transports, London will react. Don’t forget that the FTR in Canada will be back soon, and aircraft in Gibraltar are also in range of London. if Germany moves in Position to prep for SL, I will have 19 units in London + whatever they still can produce. Which, on a sidenote, is more than you had in our previous playthrough. I don’t mind that, but like I said, London has to deal with the facts if it wants to be agressive and likewise Germany must deal with the decision about going after London OR Moscow. We know that going after Moscow will make Germany very strong because that option worked well for me. But will going after London make Germany so strong as well?? -
Little correction/addition for clarification:
I was planning on building 2TRS off Canada, for another +4 emergency land units shipping into London (or wherever), whenever need be. That would bring the total number of land units for London (or in range thereof) at 20 -not 19 I said earlier- before the USA comes in.You don’t think 20 land units is enough? You seemed to be happy with max 18 units in or in range, so why would I need >20 then?
It is no problem for me, maybe you got some new in-retrospective-insight? I for one assumed you played on the same assumption that I am making now: Germany won’t attack london if that means loosing 60-70% (odds from last German turn) of their total aircraft which they all need if they want to push Russia back. Or maybe you didn’t think I would build some more TRS off Canada?Or what am I missing :wink:?

Please help me out a little while I do the rest of the allies… My eyes are tired and the screen is not so clear anymore. I may have seen it correct the first time after all.
As far as I can see the Japanese have ~10% chance to kill the USN @ Carolines. That is totally acceptable to me but I may have missed a plane somewhere… I think Japan can only get there with 2DD, 3FTR, 3TAC and 2STR. Max. But like I said my eyes are tired (cry).
Don’t forget the ANZAC CA that will also be present before Japan can attack.Thanx. And yes, 50-60 for Japan is indeed not bad!
PS. I knew you couldn’t get Java, because I studied on that ;-).

I should have had my fleet off of FIC. Oh well, I don’t see a way to attack the US fleet on J3. I will just have to chase them off next turn by placing the units in a more suitable location.
