@axis-dominion I think I am at my max of 3 games rolling atm. Would love to pick one up with you when one of my games finish though.

sounds great!

@artofwar1947 Thanks for the game!

@adam514 Yeah, thanks for the game. I agree it was the most competitive game I’ve played with you. With the multitude of mistakes I made this game, you didn’t mention losing Australia early, I am wondering why. Perhaps Japan doing a Pearl Harbour J2 was not such a big advantage for them? Until I lost that US fleet near the Solomons I was pretty happy with how I was doing this game.

I think it’s the first time someone offered Pearl Harbour, and so that left me more open than usual on the mainland and you go hard on the mainland with Russia as well. I’d make a factory on J2 if that happens again.

@avner Thanks for the game!

result posted. Would have needed to block Smolensk. Maybe that is what I was thinking. Could have lost scrambled planes if Italy attacked.

Fleet? Possibly I was thinking to build an airbase or otherwise prevent the Italian landing.

@regularkid Well played Joe, it was a pleasure! Axis would have been in a tough spot with worse dice in Russia/Western Germany.

@simon33 Good game!

Sorry didn’t work out as you had expected.

No you’re not. Don’t LIE :) lol.

Your victory has been posted gentlemen! We wish Adam-Dominion the best in the rest of the tournament.

@Sovietishcat Good game!

@666 Good game!

We can start another in a couple of weeks, make sure your map is updated before then. Can’t start now, currently swamped with work.

ok, let me know when you are ready.

hrmm. yep. i think i had thought about that and then forgot. But that was definitely the right play.

Share all your mixed feelings! Japan got nerfed though. It lost a couple of aircraft and infantry, China’s territory layout makes Japan’s air no longer reach everywhere from the coast, and the Russians have a factory in Siberia and can decide to put pressure in the North. Islands are indeed easier to protect with the scramble rules and touching multiple sea zones, but the Japanese fleet can’t be everywhere to defend. By buying fleet instead of bases, and probably a couple transports less (though they were effective in their threat projection), the US would have had a strong enough navy to prevent Japan from splitting its fleet, or even outright deadzoning its ability to move to Carolines.

I think the price to prevent canopens is still quite hefty. At least now you have an option to prevent canopen.

It’s always a grind between high level players if the game is balanced.

Just a tiny Germany buff of 1 more mech, and we might need to buff J1DOW, but more playtesting is required.

Thanks for the feedback!

@oysteilo Good game!

@farmboy oh yah. I know all about overblocking. Adam has helped me to become a more efficient player, for sure. What I love about this game is, even after five years of play, I am always discovering and learning new things.

@Adam514 @666 Please discard testing, my mistake.

@ksmckay Yeah let’s see what happens in the playoffs first.

@Adam514 said in Adam514 (Axis) vs axis-dominion (Allies +9) BM3:

@simon33 You’re forgetting the German bomber in the Pac which severely limits the options of the smaller US fleet, can’t block without wasting many ships.

Good point that does explain why you can’t stack the Caroline’s but it doesn’t explain why kiangsu wasn’t attacked. There would have been a real loss of momentum for Japan in that instance. In fact, if the German bomber had moved up to Tokyo g10, the midway stack would have been off.

Perhaps enough Monday morning quarterback there though.

@farmboy Good game! It was close for a while, I had to strategize as the Axis to gain the advantage, which doesn’t happen often :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: . You played well, it was one of my closer Axis games.

Japan would indeed be in trouble, but it’s still way too healthy when you consider the Europe situation.

Thanks for the game!

@VonAlba Thanks for the game!
