I acknowledge far too uneven luck (so far) when its to my advantage.

Cow · Nov 10, 2013, 10:47 PM

I would concede if your japan play was better. lol. It is the only thing that is keeping me in this game. The fact that the pacific is looking good. Japan never got to blow up yet.

lexgreat · Nov 10, 2013, 10:48 PM

And how tempted have you been to attack the Italian BB with two figs? Somehow I think you are the type who fancied his chances :)

lexgreat · Nov 10, 2013, 10:50 PM

As for my Japan play, I certainly will ask after the game for any comments on what you would have done at certain stages. Tough to grow when 18 inf on one side, Chinese/Russian stack on the other and Brits in the south. Looking forward to suggestions how to cope!

Cow · Nov 10, 2013, 10:58 PM

Well I could have been more conservative and did africa only battles instead of middle east.

That would give up the NOs there which is the problem. Allies start global in a losing position and it puts the pressure on the allies to make things happen.

When you play the maps individually europe half and pacific half… the game is pretty even… but the pressure on the axis to make things happen. In global the allies have to play desperately. That is just how it is.

Cow · Nov 10, 2013, 11:01 PM

To be honest, I did not expect the pacific to look like this at this moment, otherwise I may have done things differently in Europe. I still have an income advantage, but that is only because Japan did not get all the islands or deny the burma road from China or get siberia. I am sure you will pick something to work at soon.

I am just going to shove everything at you and hope for the best lol.

Cow · Nov 10, 2013, 11:11 PM

I still really wanted to play the allies for fun. Winning a tournament like this is rough to begin with, luck is needed. It is not like anyone is bad.

Just some minor adjustments to your Japan and you will be fine.

Cow · Nov 10, 2013, 11:15 PM

Besides, I think I will win garg’s tournament anyway, :)

They gave me the axis!

Nice game alex.

lexgreat · Nov 11, 2013, 7:26 AM

Winning is not everything. I acknowledge you had more than a fair share of bad luck. Life is tough for Japan and I dont know how it ends, but I offer you this: Take Malaya with one inf remaining, lose the art and the fighter. Hope its not hypocritical, its no reroll of course but its still an honest offer.
