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

[ItIsILeClerc]

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.

The attack on Libya was undone. I miscounted the range for the RAF. I thought I could attack and base them all in Egypt, but that was not the case, so: long live the edit function!

Made a classical mistake: FTR flown into Canada cannot fly back to London in 1 turn…

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!

Indeed the German economy is! Nothing fancy the allies can do (or could have done) about that.
Fighting for Leningrad means loosing Moscow way too soon. The way A&A is balanced -if we can even speak of balance- ensures at least 6 turns of unopposed axis expansion in Europe that the allies can not do anything about. Not even if the USA went 100% for Europe for 6 complete turns without being punished by Japan.

Not much that the Allies can do against the German advance.  You did slow down my attack on India for a few turns.  I decided it was best to scare off the American fleet, keeping them away from the money islands.  I need the Japanese economy to stay in the 60+ range.

The time is indeed not right for an American offensive now. Tactical retreat to consolidate. MacArthur says he’ll be back!

@Arthur:

You did slow down my attack on India for a few turns. I decided it was best to scare off the American fleet, keeping them away from the money islands. I need the Japanese economy to stay in the 60+ range.

Like I told you ;-).
Previous game I think I made some tactical mistakes with Japan (other than loosing that IC, which I feel you should have warned me about), but no strategical ones. Then again, the game is still young and in our previous game Japan has been at ~60 untill J5 as well. We will have to see what happens.

It is hard to be patient as the Allies.  I will let you know if you make any major tactical blunders (15+ PUs).  I don’t want to win or lose in the Pacific simply because someone doesn’t realize that their fleet is in harm.  I thought that the factory attack last game was quite small since it cost me 10 PUs to destroy a 12 PU factory.

[ItIsILeClerc]

It is no big deal because I was able to have Japan cornered in the Pacific myself anyway ;-).
Then again, that move interrupted the supply of 3 land units per turn in a critical area where 3 units more or less could mean the collapse or survival for Japan.

If a mistake is easy enough to repair with a simple edit I’ll notify on beforehand. If it is not that simple, I’ll allow a rollback (and ask if you want one) anytime.
