I just woke up and actually saw that option only after having made the battle rather quickly. Nevermind. I’d likely have lost that bomber with no hit on the des. 😉

Seems I really mess up Europe here…

I think buying so much German fleet to only leave it in the Baltic was indeed an error. Even so, I went really hard after Germany it’s not that surprising that they are doing badly.

Not convinced of my strategy though. Japan has twice the units and TUV of Germany while USA are struggling. Japan has more than 1/4 of the TUV in the game. My dice in China have not been nice but I’m not convinced I can blame that.

Actually I haven’t bought so much navy. Much less than I wanted. And because of your prosperous Scandinavian expedition with Russia, I was committed to keep it in the Baltic Sea in order to protect my transports. Maybe an alternative was to take control of sz112, but that would mean a lot less ground units towards Moscow.

Japan is a real monster now.

1CV+4TT is much more than most people would buy as Germany. It’s reduced the amount of troops that you’ve been able to throw at USSR. Buying another CV was an interesting decision. It did require me to bring my 2US CVs back to SZ110 rather than sweeping into SZ99 which was my plan. Perhaps the idea was to protect Denmark, which would not be unreasonable.

A point where the Allies took a major advance in Europe was when you attacked Normandy and won but failed to take the territory. I suspected it might go that way. Losing planes might have made the battle less likely to succeed.

Actually I don’t fully agree about less troops towards Moscow. The main point of those transports is to shuffle troops to Leningrad while sustaining a threat of a timed Sea Lion, but yes, it’s 28 IPC less fast movers. Likely isn’t the best of strategy.

simon33

I’m trying that theory in another game. I don’t think I like it much. Reducing the number of mechanised units makes it hard to make inroads into USSR. Perhaps it would work better with a G1 buy of 1CV 1TT 1inf 1art. Which does also still allow the G2 landing on Scotland if you want to go Sea Lion.

That’s an interesting part of the opening. You almost never want an early Sea Lion. Unless you get it for free, but investing in it gives Russia too much momentum. The threat of Sea Lion is pretty nice though. UK has to relate to it and respond accordingly to make it a bit of a struggle.

Bugger. You’ll have me in 2 turns. I can’t defend or reclaim Hawaii.

This game and a few others show me that you can’t go too hardcore KGF.

I’ll post your result. Rematch? Not that satisfied with the how I got my one win on you. I prefer same sides but I’m willing to switch too.

Same sides is fine with me. And that is that I go with Axis again? Maybe adjust the bid?

Oh, and I’m not sure if I’ve hit the limit of recordable games now?
