Allies (+16) vs. Axis (darkskies) Coop

[ItIsILeClerc]

@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??

[ItIsILeClerc]

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:?

I tried hard to find a way to take Java this turn, but couldn’t.  It is going to take me another turn before I’m in position for Japan to do some serious destruction, but their economy is starting to come along.  They should be getting around 60 PUs by the end of next turn… not bad at all.

I was too fast with the USA, I must reconsider their CM.

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 ;-).

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

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.

If Japan wants to protect their TRSs, they will be spread. The IJN goes where the transports go (Sumatra, Malaya, Celebes).
In other words: if japan wants to develop some sort of income, they cannot keep the IJN at FIC. But maybe they can leave just enough ships off FIC to do it, IDK. Allies do however have a few planes nearby as well, so spreading the IJN should be done with great care.

And again. I wonder if there’s something wrong or if it is just false alarm.

Anyway. I’m sorry for the messy UK in Africa. This very offensive playstyle is new to me and I am also not very experienced in playing with bids. But your play with the UK inspired me to try the agressive approach myself as well. I won’t win a beauty contest this time but one more game as the UK and I’ll know the drill. Without a bid however, I doubt it can be done without suffering too much in another theatre.

I can see that it can work great, wonders even, but I also see that only a little mistake (such as for example not taking Ethiopia, or allowing that attack to fail) can be a game-loosing backfire. My positioning of everything back into Egypt was also not right, but I thought it didn’t really matter where I put my stuff now since we agreed on no attack on it for one more turn. So on second thought the attack on Libya was not a bad thing to do after all :lol:.

No matter how exactly the problem is solved tactically, the most important thing of the strategy is to put an IC into Egypt asap. Maybe 1 turn later but definately no later than that. In theory, this should give the UK 18-27 extra units to defend with once Germany arrives but hopefully they can also mean something for the defense of Russia… We’ll see. Thanks for the good sportsmanship!
