Ive got alot to learn in this PTV map. I am getting utterly destroyed everywhere I turn. give me a bit to see if I can turn this around at all. I have definitely learned alot and know where alot of my problems are. thats the only way to learn is to get beat this badly.

nikola1975

@MuddSlinger Of course, the only way forward is to play.

I want to give some advice, in a most positive way.

The winner of this game is decided for a few rounds already, of course. The economy is something that has turned the scale and there is no way to turn this around, even with some extraordinary luck (the battle at Hawaii was almost unbelievable :)
Despite this, you might find it useful to keep playing for a few more rounds, maybe you will notice something. Of course, it might be better to start a new game and try something you have already noticed.
In the last few turns, you were already getting better. I think you did not put enough emphasis on bonuses, for example letting Americans take bonus for the Philippines in the beginning, same goes for the Midway/Guam/Wake combo.
Australia was a good move, but it limited the further expansion of Japan. The southern fleet was too far, you could not join fleets, and you missed a lot of money from bonuses in the Pacific by taking this. Also, you allowed the Chinese to grow.
Germans did start strong with tanks and mechs, but in the end it is not possible to take Moscow this way. I was beaten in a live game last week, where German streamlined to Moscow with a combo of Stukas and tanks, and it was almost unstoppable (I made some mistakes). However, he did not allow the Allies to have a free dance in the Atlantic. You need to at least try to slow them down on that side.

Having said all that, keep in mind that I am not a master of this game, but I did play quite a few (looking at the Excel table of results, it says 40!, and I played at least 10 live games - I should be better by now). I am just giving a few things I noticed. I might add something else after we finish the game.

So, you can surrender if you are playing to win - in that case, we could play another one if you like playing me; I think you will start much better now as you are improving as we play. On the other hand, we can keep it going for a few more rounds.

MuddSlinger

Thanks for all that advice. I take it all int he most positive way. let me play 1 round and Ill see then if anything comes of it. I definitely see all the things you have pointed out and I do need to change some things from the beginning. this definitely will be your win, but I will gather a bit more info on 1 more round. thanks Nikola. and yes, I am always down to play with you

I will concede. you have decimated me on every front. the allies can really build up quick in this game. Along with alot of mistakes I have made from the start of the game and all throughout. I definitely learned alot here. Great game to you and congrats on the victory. time for me to really study this board and come up with better strats and tactics for this new map

MuddSlinger

I will try my best to improve greatly so I dont get embarrassed like this again. lmao

nikola1975

@MuddSlinger Thanks. I did not play here for long time, so this is my first win after 18 months :) Post the result in the forum, so I can have my official return to the League.

If you wish to play again, let me know, you can try Axis with higher handicap, or we can turn around.

MuddSlinger

yeah, I think axis+3 was to low for my first game. lol…

nikola1975

@MuddSlinger I see there are bids of 9-12 being offered. It changed a lot in these 2 years, obviously there are better strategies for the Allies.
