Here is russia 1. I could not use the Forum connection, but since there is no combat, should not be a problem.
Hope we can fix things tomorrow.
Allies (+16) vs. Axis (darkskies) Coop
-
I will buy for the UK as if I didn’t know that you were doing DS. For Russia, I like an aggressive first turn buy of artillery so that I have more counterpunch on R2 and R3. It is going to get bloody soon.
-
one of the characteristics of bm’s version of the all-bomber strat is that he gets italy big fast, and it’s italy that allows his bombers to reach ever farther into the atlantic (via control of gib), mid east, and africa. my current thinking on how to counter this strat is to strike down italy as fast as possible (call it a KIF), so as to defeat germany’s primary ally very early on. my thinking is to first ensure absolute control of egypt, and then to flood the med with subs and the threat of many planes. make the med as hostile as possible for the trannies, and do whatever you can to keep control of gib.
i will be doing that in my game vs bm, so keep an eye on the game if you’re curious how that works out.
i’m noticing that more and more players are trying out this bomber stacking idea…it’s caught a lot of attention and attraction lately. i would differentiate between the “all-bomber” strat that bm is into, and the “mass-bomber” strat that others are doing, which is a slower build-up of the bombers. my guess is that others aren’t as confident about just going all bombers as bm is. i think the all bomber variant is more powerful, so far from my experience and observations, but the mass bomber approach is also hard to play against.
-
I definitely will be crushing the Italian navy on the first two rounds. It is critical for the Allied success to limit the Italian income for many rounds. Hence my spend of 16 PUs all in the Med region. I will be much more aggressive against Italy compared with the last game.
-
We’ll see how things go, but it’s too late for me to do Japan’s turn now.
Your Russian buy is exactly what I normally would buy against a standard German opening. Since I saw you preparing for a G2 in our previous playtest, I produced more defensively to turn your G2 advance pattern into a G3 one. With success, I might add, since Germany was not able to advance deeper into Russia than eastern Poland. Russia would eventually have been forced to retreat further for sure, at which point Russian ART-production would have returned to normal.
I think there’s a good chance you 'll defeat the DS, ABH. Keep in mind though that if you do, you’ll just proove that DS is just another strategy that can be defeated with JF. All I am interested in at this moment. Though I wouldn’t go as far as to ‘accidentally’ make a crucial mistake…
-
Yup, I thought you would do G3 based on the Yugoslavia move. I was considering that for the last game after you spent heavily in the Atlantic. I like to rush as much as possible to Iraq when I am playing the Axis, though.
I will be gone this weekend and might take a while to respond.

I love how aggressive the UK can be in Africa if they have the extra money from the bid. It prevents Italy from doing much for the first three rounds. In the Pacific, I needed to capture FIC to prevent you from using those troops for additional destruction and to prevent Japan from building a dreaded airbase/factory combination on J2.

Sure, if you’re lucky enough to pull off some of the risky battles. Some of them goes wrong and the whole thing can backfire early. Not a risk I like to take for my games. Especially not in a playtest for strategy.
Anyway, never mind. Note that I forgot to move into Gibraltar, so I corrected that with an edit.
-
I did have an overwhelming British attack against Italy in Africa that resulted in complete disaster due to poor dice rolling. It took a long time to recover. Still, I am willing to take risks as the Allies since their economic advantage allows them to overcome occasional bad dice rolls.
No problem on Gibraltar. I figured that you were going to do it, with subsequent reinforcement from German planes.
-
Yeah, you’re right about that.
I have seen my share of major dicing as well, btw. Imagine failing in France GE1… I can laugh about it now, but not at that time. Luckily it is only 1 turn in, so easy to start over.Somehow I forgot to move into Gib, yes. I tend to plan, then move and do battle, and see that I forgot that 1 move that didn’t need combat. Happen quite a bit in TripleA with me. True that German planes. That’s the plan.
The save contains the other italian edit I Pm’ed you about: 2FTR land in Libya instead. That should protect Italy from a smartass french rolling a ‘1’ before Uncle Adolf can fly in :P.

No problem, I will use that save when I do my french turn.
