@JuanSpain:

Good defenses vs my bombers titpically, I should have a dozen more in the map I believe. I wanted to see a battle with over 100 TUV here, but will have to accept that 85.

Well… may be the only thing missing in the game was an attack to neutrals… so could not finish it without trying it…

The last 3 extra hits vs my bombers in this battle here in Gib bother a lot because they allow you to put your fleet in 91 again.

@JDOW:

To be fair, did you also not forgot about such battles?

Battle in South West Africa
                Germans attack with 10 bombers
                British defend with 2 artilleries and 3 infantry
                Germans win with 10 bombers remaining. Battle score for attacker is 17
                Casualties for British: 2 artilleries and 3 infantry

However, even with 12 bombers more on the map I cannot imagine how the Axis should ever be able to hold 8 VCs on the Europe map. It seems just impossible. Not 2%, imo 0%. :(

In my opinion the last 10-15 rounds just demonstrate that it takes a tremendous amount of time for the Allies to fight the Germans down because of the disadvantage of the spread attacking power and complicated resupply chains. So its hard for the Allies to make progress in Europe but they have way too much defense power to prevent that the Germans come even close to ever hold 8 VC.
They will not even be able to put the Allies in the sudden death situation where they have to liberate one city in order to avoid a VC win.

Yeah, sometimes not, it was just a rough calc of the 40 rounds. Overall Marti has been fair, because he gave me a 30% win in the first game, and now it would have been unfair winning the game for the best of 3 with his help, he gave you some in return, which will provide a fair winner of the 3 matches overall.

What I tried with Germany was avoiding your armies to come together because you have more troops than I even in europe during all the game. Avoiding enemy concurrence is something which I think is key in any military strategy, except may be in the most modern war. But of course after 40 rounds of economic disadvantage for me, you have much more troops on the map and in the end nothing can be done except getting more time and wait for a mistake.

Shorebombarded by mistake, I have extra hits, hope you don´t mind the edit for the retreat.

No complaints about Marti in Shan State  :-D

But a bit late.

In 91 you can put it of course, now it doesn´t really matter, but with 3 bombers more average would be very favourable to me.

@Adam514:

Ahh I see, I forgot to put the DDs in 91. Oh well.

Good defense anyway.

I have to leave for holadays, time to resign I think. Not bad achieving a 48 battle in round 40, Spain under my control and Germany with 11 factories in the globe.

Very good game Sir!

You are the fair winner.
