Alright, I know this game is far from over yet, but I can already tell I will not be on the winning side. The TUV is almost the same, and my production is a bit higher, but you will break into Africa, which is a tricky area for me to defend. The Western Front has been a stalemate for some time, but with a lot of angry Austro-Hungarians coming, I have to retreat a little bit :) I can probably put up a defensive line and hold out a couple of turns, but eventually, the CP will have too much stuff and I will get pushed back further, which leads to you having more income, more units can be brought in, etc…
So yeah, basically I was a bit too slow as the Allies in my opinion. I should have stacked Italy up a bit earlier than the Americans, I realized it too late :)
You played very well as the CP. I thought if Russia survived for a long enough time, I could expect an Allied victory, but this wasn’t the case. You hold out very well as Germany, and after Italy fell, the strong Austria-Hungarians came in and I had no chance whatsoever to break through your lines. You did an excellent job of spending the correct amount of resources in each theater. If you had spent a little more on the Russian front, the Western Front would have maybe collapsed. If you had spent a little more on the Western Front, Russia would probably have survived a bit longer, giving the Allies more time.
So, here is it officially, I’ll raise the white flag and there is after years of fighting finally peace in Europe :)
Things I will do differently in a next game as the Allies (would you like to play another? I do!):
-
Making sure Italy doesn’t fall
-
Spend more resources for India (I didn’t like how India was boxed in like that lol :)
-
Be decisive with the Americans (I was not sure what is best to do with them. First I invaded Greece, after that failed I stacked up the Western Front and when Italy was about to fall, I stacked up Rome but I was too late xD)
I still think the Triple Entente has the advantage, as if Italy survived and I kept Africa secure, I would probably have had an income advantage. It seems like there are too many enemy units for the CP. There is a threat here, I have to take this out, I want to defend against this, I have to take that but I don’t have enough units and so on.
Let me know your thoughts on this game. I really liked playing this game against a human opponent and I would also like to play another. Are you going to make some videos about this game in the future? I would love to watch them!
