@trihero:
I usually have problems being too aggressive against Germany and too conservative against Japan haha.
Your aggression against Germany was well warranted with my play. But, when we play again, might I suggst you pressure Japan just a bit…
Had I even done something as minor as put all of my G2 build in Germany, you would have faced a Russia that was down to Russia/Evenk/Novo on R3, and that is just too weak of a position for Russia if faced with a competant German player (which I was NOT). Allowing me to advance to Sinkiang, India, and Yakut without loss, had I built 3 trannies in J1, would have been devastating if I had not blundered so badly as Germany in G1. If you are going to pull back, at least leave 1 INF to tie up some of Japan’s offensive fire-power, and to reduce the forces reaching Russia by a few INF along the way. A 6 INF Yakut stack would have slowed Japan significantly…
And I do believe that if ANYONE had any doubt about the idiocy of the “minor victory” we put THAT to bed with this game :-)
