Alpha+1 game session Europe situation after seventeen rounds 01/03/11

I did read it.  I'm not trying to make fun or or be demeaning in anyway.  I was just confused.  You have the USSR as only making 3 IPC yet they have a TON of troops in Moscow.  If you keep falling back and lose ground to the Germans, you don't have enough IPC's to buy that much stuff.  That is my only question.  It just looked like a lot of things didn't make sense is all.

Sorry about the post.

I think they came from either the original Pacific or Guadalcana

What failed miserably however, was the advent of movement counters that were supposed to follow your aircraft pieces.  What a waste of time and resources.  In 500 games I've never seen them used.

I always use them to mark how many movement points are left on my air move after combat.

Why?  Does it "Really" help you?  Tell me this, what happens if you don't use those pieces?

    I reckon my friend playing the Soviets saw the end coming and decided to turtle up in Moscow. All those units were purchased on previous turns. That is why I as the axis attacked once and then retreated instead of trading expensive tanks for infantry. I decided just to wait for more infantry to come up. I still had the Chinese and Americans to deal with. I guess that I have some kind of phobia about trading tanks for infantry.

       I will tell you Gar. I somtimes have a senior movement when a lot of planes come from different territories and I forget which plane has what movement left. I do use some homemade markers now and then.

Japan in my thoughts remains a little weak despite European axis.. these images seem to confirm my impressions.. and reading the incomes i have a proof of what i been saying in the Larry's forum..

Transports, boots and or a factory on the ground, would go a LONG way for Japan's success.  My thoughts are similar to yours, especially since all the advantage of a J1 attack are now removed - especially in global.

It's that, or more ships (subs and destroyers) to keep the american navy at bay.

Japan has too many fighters.  I would trade 5 japanese fighters for 12 or 15 extra infantry starting in China, any day.

Wow that was too many pieces left on the board. Like holy crap. How much % does the Axis win without VC to aid them?

     I do not know the answer to that. We may be the only ones on this forum who play without VCs.
