[Amon-Sul]

U were better.

I resign

[Adam514]

Thanks for the game!

[Amon-Sul]

Would U like to play same sides, or switched one?

And I would like to plead U to tell me:

1. what was good in my play
2. what should be better
3. what was bad.

I am sure that the attack on Manchuria with my Russian guys, pretty much sealed my fate in the Pacific.

[Adam514]

Let’s switch sides.

The Russian attack wasn’t necessarily a bad move, but of course declaring early isn’t that useful, maybe you should wait for the right moment to attack the Japanese with Russia.

I’ll mainly say the mistakes I think you made:

1. You buy too many AA guns, you rarely need more AA guns than what you start with, and it reduces you offensive capability as well.
2. Don’t move out of Moscow if Germany only has about 70% on it, your Russian stack would have done way more damage if the Germans indeed attacked (which they wouldn’t have at 70% odds).
3. You bought too much defence in London on UK1.
4. Greece is not worth losing a transport except in cases like a G1DOW.
5. You buy way too much offence as Russia, which never was enough to prevent Germany from advancing. You should start by building nearly max inf as Russia until the threat on Moscow has passed.
6. Use the limited US production on the Pacific side to build a big navy if you suspect that Japan is making a late JDOW.

I think that’s about it, I can’t think of anything else.

1. As for USSR, I agree. But in the Pacific I think they helped a lot.
2. Ok. tactical issue.
3. I agree.
4. I agree.
5. Yeah, I thought I would throw U back with my offensive guys, but the Germans were too many.
6. I thought U were planning to attack at J3, and that U changed Ur mind because of the Soviets. But I agree, I must use the 3 units per territory at maximum at Los Angeles.

Ok, I`ll create new game. Germany goes.

Thanks :)
