TripleA doesn’t require it, but the rulebook does:

SBR attacks first,
Naval battles supporting amphibious assault and the ensuing assault second,
All other battles after that…

So Kenya was supposed to be rolled before Hunnan

Just for future reference
Myself included, many players don’t realize this rule is actually in the rulebook, and yes it does sometimes make a difference, potentially a huge difference, so all must observe the rule…

@AndrewAAGamer It was a good game. I was interested to see how the Russian /Chinese defense played out. I was able to force the Russian and Chinese back, but I never got any traction in Moscow.

Greece was a problem, and perhaps, I should have just ignored it until I built more ground forces in the area. However, the bid for Russia supplemented them with enough units that I never had an advantage there regardless of the Greece fiasco. In fact, I felt you had pulled back too quickly and let the Germans gain some territory that could have been more dearly fought over, which counteracted the early loss of material in Greece.

But that leads to my main “learning point” of this game, a winning strategy for the Allies is just to build up and defend. You never really fought for anything in the Europe side, just built up forces in Normandy and eventually spilled over to Holland. More dramatically, this was followed in the Pacific side, you never even threatened for the DEI or even took back Aleutians until I went for India on T9. Just build carriers and fighters and some transports that just stayed as a single force.

Normally, I would have thought that was a losing strat against Japan, but because China was so strong, I never established my hegemony over Asia. Sure, at the end, Japan was a land force, but it didn’t matter because the IJN was unable to defend against the US fleet. From T6-T14, the Japanese never spent less than 19 IPCs on land forces except 2 turns, and spent more than 1/3 of the iPCs on land forces + transports on over half the turns. Yet, did not remove the Chinese from the map.

Equally surprising strat was to ignore Europe with the US for so long. Just buying a small fleet to hold Normandy and 3 inf each turn. I would have thought the Germans would have made more progress since they had a small West force to counter with. But Russia wasn’t falling so nope.

The bottomline is I don’t see how to defeat this strategy with this bid. There was nowhere to attack at advantage. The NO for Russia does not seem to be stoppable. I tried a couple of times to get the Japanese over but without severely dispersing my forces, that was not going to happen. So Russia will hold, and then it’s just build and wait for the remaining forces.

Kinda demoralized right now, so I’ll go beat up on some other competition and maybe try again after the scars have healed.
