@wittmann:

Morning. I hope you had a great Easter. We did.
Please remember that I am away from the 1st until the 8th. I should be able to play a little these next two days, but will not be able to play the day I land next week, as I will have lots of restaurant work to do, before I open that evening.

Indeed I did, thanks for asking.

Sure, no problem, I’m in no hurry to finish :)

I have no offensive capability anywhere on the map; you have done a fine job of containing me. Am still mystified as to how. I thought I had done a good well of robbing you of  bits and bobs of income from the start. Apparently, I was mistaken.

Hmm, interesting, I felt there wasn’t that much pressure on me, especially on the Western front, Russia was never in trouble, as it could hold in Bryansk and pressure on Egypt was also kind of low. You did a good job amassing income in the Med, but I think you need a better shot at at Russia or be capable of seriously pressuring / taking / swapping Egypt.

Secondly I think that I got away a little easy in the Pacific. There is no need to surround me with destroyers all game long, just move the fleet to Sz 36, buy 1 harbour and defend Japan / Kiangsu with enough units to stop me from taking it. Make sure you can get the Indonesian Isles (just invest in transports and units to move there, no matter what happens). Swapping those islands back and forth while getting 14ish extra income each turn is huge.
I feel you were too cautious with Japan, a bit on the water, a bit on the land, a bit on air, but no decisive choice to go either India, Russia, Indonesian isles or ANZAC. A bit of everything, but nothing really well…

Also I don’t understand why there’s no warship in Sz 5 :-)

[regularkid]

FYI, jap warship in sz 5 won’t stop lend lease from flowing there unless Japan is at war with Russia.

[Witt]

I did know that, thank you, Regularkid.

Still not sure how I did not have the strength to break into Russia proper. Earlier today, I looked back at the game, to see if I did really not buy enough units for Russia. Perhaps you are right. You have been able to  buy 11 a turn and I have not. I should have concentrated on the East.  Was the Med and Italy’s 25-30 Invome each turn that seduced me, I suppose.
I have always said the Allies did not have the income to compete and now that has been addressed, I can’t play the Axis. Funny! (Always said, I was not the best anyway.)
You are (and I knew this) a better player. Is not a problem. Am baffled by my poor situation, is all.
Goodnight.

just think of all the fun you’ll have trying to unlock the riddle of how to change history (it can be done) :)

No, I got Archangel and you ain’t blocking the Sz…

[Witt]

Ignore me: is that you sank my Sub in 125 and you got 3 more than the last few turns.
I am sorry to prolong the agony. The game is beyond me; I could concede.
But I like playing, so humour me, please.
