Give your Pacific AA gunners a medal after that game. 7/18. :oops:
And with Iraq and Sumatra you also had two 1-3% results this turn ;)
Japan paid their debts for Java!

They consider this even now on their all time money high,  :mrgreen:
Japan had a rough time but the willpower of the empire couldn’t be broken yet.

Sorry, I confess I haven’t even sat down to study this move yet, but thinking about it a little this morning I’m pretty sure I’m resigning now
I’ll take a look and give a little analysis

[gamerman01]

Yeah, time to quit

Here’s what I think about this game
G1
110 1 sub lost (and no hit to battleship)
106 perfect
0/3 AAA at Paris, Germans lose only 5 infantry
Yugo is a perfect 4 hits with 0 German lost and able to retreat

G2
97 airstrike against DD, CA, CV, 2 FTR - zero losses for the Germans.  This is a top 1% result in a critical battle.  If I had received a top 1% result in the first round and you retreat, that would be you losing 5 planes and I would have some units actually survive, according to the A&A.org calculator

I couldn’t recover from these.  I seriously thought about resigning before even playing R2 because the Allies should not be able to recover from this perfect G1 and G2.  But you can’t really do that when you owe it to everyone to still try to win.  Unfortunately, in my view, you prolonged my misery tremendously by not being aggressive enough against India around rounds 5 and 6.  You sent a couple transports to the north that could have been used to focus on India, could have done some other things to easily crush India before I could get reinforcements going.  This game took me an awful lot of hours in a losing effort that could never recover from that G1 and G2, especially against the most careful player in the league.

That said, I really don’t feel like a sore loser and am not upset at all - I mean the above in a matter of fact way, and it is what I truly think.  I won 7 playoff games in a row, and you’re gonna get a bad dice start once in awhile.  You are definitely good enough to win in this situation, and you are the only player to defeat Adam all year, so are definitely worthy to face the great veteran ZHUKOV in the finals for the 2015 league championship!

[JDOW]

Wow. My initial statement is: I learned from the best! That made me patient enough to understand the whole dynamics of the game and that an Axis win is NOT a race against the clock as many players think.

I said during the match: In case I lose I cannot blame the dice. And it would be ridiculous to believe I could just beat the back to back league champion without any support of the dice with a 25 bid which is the highest you ever got if I remember correctly.
Although the dice evened out through the whole match (which somehow supported to prolong the misery you mentioned) I admit that the early great German dice made the dice axis-friendly alltogether.

It is a bit ironic because you said after UK1 that the G1 dice are forgotten because your UK dice were stunning, too, so were almost all UK turns and most US turns! But great dice in UK1 even backfired given the G2 dice as a regular UK1 would have been less costly for you as you take air down in order to keep as much in 97 as possible.

With this advantage I was very comfortable after 5 turns to turn the position into an economic victory but I did not experience yet at this point what the best Allies Player in the league is capable of.
In hindsight I would have pushed more towards India but I was sure that my J11ish plan to stack Burma with the Caro troops would work and I got surprised by your big defense move, although it had a price, too. I was wondering where the game would have gone without that Caro-thing that went great for the Allies but that still might not have been horrible for Japan compared to a non-battle situation.

Congratulations on a great game!

This game clearly shows the difficulty of holding off the Axis in a long game, and the importance of a strong German air force.

And the irrelevance of an extra hit on TrJ with a battleship bombardment in round 17  :wink:
