Pejon_88 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM Game III

If you go J1 and don’t get Calcutta it is pretty problematic. At least if I had kept the pressure on, you probably would have kept that huge airforce there. Don’t quite know why I didn’t think about that.

I think I might try a J3 next time. As you say, China getting strong is a bit of a problem.

@pejon_88 said in Pejon_88 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM Game III:

@simon33 yes and then I had to choose between Moscow or Calcutta pretty much and I think Moscow is more important.

Guess if I had thought about it from the point of view of what you should do rather than what you would do I would have reached the same conclusion.

Didn’t notice your turn post!

@pejon_88 I don’t understand, why are you moving out of Bryansk? Is it on purpose leaving the Italian stuff there for me to waste resources? Just wanted to double-check?

Didn’t have enough to hold Volgograd, Novosibirsk and Archangel with Bryansk.
