Thanks. I was ready to build an AB in NT and pull anzac figs there, and block W India with AnZAC tac.

I think i played a very good game from the start.

I was able to surprise U and to block U on all sides.

As for the rematch, i would like to play the axis, I was strongly defeated last time in our game, I think I have the place for improvement.

Where would U like Ur 16 IpC bid?

Grats Amon!
Taking down Farmboy’s Axis is a big accomplishment. I assume you may have caught him on the wrong foot with your aggressive anti-Japan strategy in the beginning. Like I caught you on the wrong foot when I DOWed with Japan in turn 2 nevertheless.
This Allied strategy has to rely on avoiding Germany becoming an unstoppable juggernaut which seemed to have worked in this game.

But brace yourself. This will not be easy to repeat. In case of a rematch, Farmboy will come up with something against your strategy, I am certain about that:D

Well i played a focused and strong game from the beginning, also had some slight help with the dice in the beginning, but I think the win was well deserved.

But, Farmboy is as myself more of an allied dude.

Nonethelles he is high tier E, so this big win is realy important for me.

I personally think that there is a (big) space in contesting Japan early on and I wont stop persuading this strategies in the future.

Japan starts the game with lack of money, small ships (dds, tranies, subs), ACs and (even) land units.

Once Yunan superfortress is established it id hard for Japan to come back in to the game.

If the allies secure Moscow, it is more or less the open road to victory.

@farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

The challenge of Amon’s approach is that he also puts a lot of allied air in china and the mid east very early which meant that I never really had a chance to take advantage of the units he pulled away from Moscow.

I am not sure i quite get this.

Oh, I suppose U mean about my allied figs going to Moscow?

@farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

@Amon-Sul yeah. I never had much of a chance to take Moscow because by the time I got close, you already had a ton of allied fighters within reach. It more than make up for the Soviet units in China.

And different choices with Germany may have improved my chances, but it was Japan’s play that let you get much of that air in range.

Yep, NW Persia (later Iraq) and Yunnan - India.

My dream is a Yunnan airbase :)

And it is great when U can strike sz 97 from Moscow with British planes. U can reach Yunnan too.

It was Japan play, and it was allied play. My NT dudes really helped.
