Oh it’s hopeless.

At least this game I felt like I had a chance at a couple of points. I think it was a fool’s paradise though.

Will post.

@Adam514 said in Adam514 (Allies+25) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM4 Game II:

@simon33 Thanks for the game!

You too.

I think I should study your allied moves a bit, although no one else really does a J1. Against no other player do I have to sacrifice a transport for the money islands but I think I needed to here.

You’re a great player even as the allies Adam. One thing I think you could have done better is your bid. Why a sub in 98 with no Taranto? 2 subs would have been better spent in 106 and 111 IMO, although I still prefer the ftr Malta+sub 98 for a CV-less Taranto. Main downside is you sacrifice the Scottish fighter to do that.

Interesting, yeah it is pretty bad if SZ96 fails.

And that also is the reason for the sub in 91, to deter an attack there which is always an option as Germany. Both of those subs can attack 96 of course.
