Thank you for condolences
 
All that thinking I did, and I overlooked that I couldn’t take the sub.

Right, it was a plane hit with no allied destroyer, sub can’t be lost.

So lose the destroyer, and if your sub survives the defense, I will submerge the sub

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Yeah, I am not a big fan of the Green Skies strategy. The main problem with the Green Skies strategy is it doesn’t put boots on the ground or ships on the sea.

As you saw, while you had a big punch on offense in the Pacific, your Allied fleet was too small to go toe-to-toe with the Japanese fleet. In our game, even with Japan waiting till J3 for a DOW, the US fleet was never able to stand their ground against the Jap fleet. Because of this you were never able to take and hold a Money Island which is imperative for an Allied win. Sure the Japanese fleet had to be carful to not be destroyed but the US had the same problem and could not advance.

In Europe, by the time you sent US bombers there, the battle for Moscow was already determined. Sure, you did a great job of strategic bombing German territory but with Moscow dead and no US ground forces presence coming Germany had the game in the bag.

In essence, you lost on both sides of the board. That just should not happen; especially with a J3 DOW. The lack of ground and sea units is what cost you… more than what you gained by having a ton of US bombers flying all over the place.
