too busy to play I’m guessing

@koala

Thank you for the game! You played very well, and kept it competitive throughout. Even at the end, I was concerned about a blunder on the Europe a side, so just played conservatively and turtled up in Berlin.

A few thoughts from my side:

Not taking the Philippines on J1 was more due to my inexperience playing Axis, and wanting more margin on the other battles. Probably I would not do it again that way.

Agree the Persia (and Iraq) factories could have been helpful earlier on. Either to supply Moscow with fighters or to help bolster India.

Surprising how the blundering of 2 transports is really felt later in the game. I made a similar blunder in a recent game, and I also felt it turned out to be a pivotal mistake that led to me losing that game. You had Italy in a lot of financial distress due to the sub convoying.

I was not surprised you went for Tokyo, but I was surprised you went for it after not taking Korea with Russia so you could bring in the extra bomber. I adjusted my Japan fleet movement to go to Philippines assuming you would NOT go for it with odds I believe ever so slightly in my favor. Once you committed, I think it would have been worthwhile for you to go all the way. If you could not take it with US, Anzac would have a follow up attempt as well. The loss of income to Japan would have been felt, and could have been interesting to see what Anzac would do with 60+ extra income!

I do feel this was a mistake made on my part by (a) not taking Guam much earlier, and (b) getting too greedy trying to deny China access to artillery by holding Yunnan with help from Japanese planes. If I had left the planes on FIC with the airbase, just flying back a few fighters to Tokyo would have made the threat there manageable. You picked the exact right time to strike!

Once you took Rome, it became a strong base of operations for UK and US. I’ve usually gone north to break into Europe with the Allies, but taking Rome was very effective, especially with the bomber fleet.

It’s possible you may have been able to defend India if you were less aggressive attacking Germany/Italy. I never ran the scenario, but landing the Russian planes, all the British planes that were in Rome, and the US bombers could have enabled India to survive at least a couple extra turns, though not positive on that.

Overall, very well played, and enjoyed the game, thank you!
