I assume you do not want to scramble in 112, but this is a too important battle for me to decide… so pls confirm.

@trulpen l22-1-trulpen-vs-myygames-45-oob_UK18.tsvg

I had pretty bad dice, but the allies are steamrolling europe I’d say. The axis has a hard time there, the fuehrer is hiding in his bunker in berlin.

@trulpen

Thank you for the game, it was a good learning for me!

I think actually the battles that turned the tide were my attacks on japanese and german fleets, where I did 1-2 punches with US and UK. Those battles did provide the allies a lot of freedom, and would I not have been able to destroy those fleets it would have been way more difficult.

Regarding the Low Lock component iof the game… I see that you are not quite satisfied with it and I am wondering why. I like it so much because the battle results become much more reliable. But I also understand that it is changing the way that battles are approached; If you have full uncertainty in a ballte because of the dices, you will probably not do marginal attacks as for example the attacks I did in the last allied turn in europe, or also the attacks on your japanese fleets that I was mentioning above. I think if you have the dice uncertainty you will probably want to have a higher security in your attacks and have more overwhelming forces to do it. Nevertheless, even with a higher number in the attack you can get diced and your attack might fail because of bad luck. And that is actually why I do like LL: I cannot stand the perspective of doing a sound attack on my opponent and then, after several rounds of play where I prepared the forces to do this attack, calculated results and did it with a good chance of success… just lose the battle (and probably the whole game) because of MARTI being in a bad mood. If I do the important battles I also want it to be somehow limited chance for desaster.

Again, thank you for the game. I think I learned also a lot from our last game in 2021, and actually the strategy you are employing for the axis is a great one and has lots of possibilities and options that may lead to axis victory. I think the early move I did, with taking the british AC to India and building a second one seems to be a viable strategy to limit japan in such a J3 scenario. The threat of occupying Java as I did poses a difficult situation that J must deal with, and also allows US to put some bucks in the atlantik.

Let me know if you have any comments to that!

Whish you the best!
