Failed taking Hawaii. I resign. Would like to have a rematch. BM3. Me as Axis. You as Allies with a bid of 4?

With what did U try to take it?

Well, I can play a rematch but 2 things:

1. I do not know how often will I be able to post. Maybe once a day, maybe once in 2 days, maybe 3 times a day, it depends. When corona virus passes, i wont be able to post as much as now.

2. I wish to play the axis. Its more interesting then play same sides with same men in short period.

cheers

You can have the allies with a bid of 7, the same that I did took.

We can perhaps play two games simultaneously then? I really want to get another shot with Axis against you. This game was unbelievably frustrating. :)

no, its too many games for me since I have one already with simon.

i cant play 10 games like U xd

I promised U that i ll play 3 games this season so U get Ur points against me, and I ll keep the promise. With a game with simon and 2 against U its 3 games.

I think we can play maximum 2 games (3 if the score after 2 is 1-1). So if U beat me with allies U ll have a chance to take me with Axis again.

How does that sounds?

@trulpen

ouch

I think I played pretty well and that luck followed me. I am content with it.

We finish the game with Allies having 258 PUs, UK (with UK Pacific) being the strongest nation (TUV), and almost 1000 TUV difference between Allies and Axis.

I must congragulate U and thank U for this great game and Ur sportmanship.

It was a joy playing it. One player had to prevail but I am sure U ll get Ur points too.

This was my returning game, havent played in 2 years, and I think I ve managed pretty well, especially against U as really strong opponent.

I must say a didnt realize before how big threat to Middle East and India can those mechanized German units stacked to a pile do.

Also Japan even when seems so strong, if carefull pressured on several sides, can be very weakened with time.

Russia endured much more that I thinked it would.

Playing France was a joy to me.

I had make tactical oversights/mistakes considering China/Siberia when i allow U to destroy my airforce at Kansu, sneak with Japanese tank from there, after I attacked Manchuria with Russia and nullified the Mongolian treaty effect.

U played so focused, offered me no easy takings, I ve got my first Chinese guerrilla in rd 16, ok thats to thank to my agressive China play too, but still.

I ve learned during this game that it is true allies have a better ground in close battles since they produce more money and a slight minus after a battle in TUV units destroyed often isnt such a big problem for them.

U can combine that with the defender has to pick to casualties first and it can be a powerful tool.

What are Ur impressions of the game?

I must say Germany, and especially its navy gave, me big troubles

We ve played 18 rounds in 17 days. Impressive.

I agree with your evaluations.

Do U have some of Ur own?
