L23 - PtV - Mr_Stucifer (X+5) vs Gorshak (L)

  • 2024 2023

    @Gorshak True, but looking ahead, I do not see a route to anything other than prolonging my defeat.

    For Japan- Sniping those 3 transports makes it so I cannot land in Queensland and hope to it this round. Reinforcements are 2 turns away if I try.

    UK’s air force makes holding Burma this round also highly unlikely, I would need to build an airbase to scramble defenders. Even if I hold it, India will be unassailable for 2 more rounds, depending on buys.

    The opening moves against USSR were a gambit I thought might serve to make it easier on Germany to take Stalingrad and Caucasus, but my follow-through with Germany was poor.

    Congratulations, @Gorshak

    This is your 3rd win and you are now officially ranked and will qualify for the playoffs.

    However, unfortunately your PPG dropped despite winning…

    😅😅😅😅

    Thank you.

    I also agree with many of your points regarding the league system (i will answer there too). By chance I was recently looking at the league system as this is my first season playing here.

    I also wondered that you could lower your score by winning a game or that high ranked players sometimes dont want to play beginners as that would lower their points regardless of the outcome of the game.

    Maybe Japan should have finished off the Russian factory earlier, so that it could get income from the siberian territorries.

    Anyway it was a good game. I enjoyed it :)

    @Gorshak Yeah, I wondered about that too, in the end I think it draws too much energy from breaking China at Yunnan and holding the Money Islands. The IPCs are pretty meager in comparison to the investment needed. I love the addition of the factory there, but I think it’s in Japan’s interest to leave the USSR be and make them attack you first.

    I would welcome a rematch, don’t want to hurt your rating too much by winning against me again though 😛😛
