No matter the scramble move.

I think I’ve made a mistake not trying to make up for Kiangsu to have a chance in this game (this option would be very difficult, I know). I thought you have to keep all your capitals.
Anyway you have played a very strong game with the axis.
I’ll post the result and start the reversing sides game.

Cheers

sure

let’s go with sub in 111
art in anglo
art in sczech

Jeg spiller gerne igen.

Rusland gik langt frem, men det var nu et kalkuleret sats. USA skulle bare have holdt sig til Asien og meget begrænset til Europa, vil jeg mene  :-)

I oevrigt er vi clearet til flere spil i den forstand, at spillene foerst taeller, naar vi naar op paa X spil.

I was hoping that move would make you not go to Egypt, but then you did anyway… so then I was scrambling to figure it all out…  :-D

GG, and Merry Christmas to you too, Shin Ji!  Very interesting game, and a lot of fun.

Let me know if you’d like a rematch – if so just PM me a new bid, and I’ll be around later (or tomorrow depending on the timing) to respond.

Thanks!

@UnknownSoldier:

Just wanted to say sorry for disappearing. My computer crashed and I did not have access to play and understand calling the game. Have a Merry Christmas!

Glad to hear it’s ok and you’re back, merry christmas to you as well!

Again?!  LOL

Okay, Bid of 17:

1 inf New Guinea
1 inf Alexandria
1 inf Kenya
1 inf AES
1 art British Somaliland
1 IPC UK (London)

I’ll keep an eye out for your new thread – good luck in rematch #1!  :)

Can you PM me your e-mailadress?

I know.  I had hoped to maintain my foothold in S Europe - but I had forgotten to factor in those 4 MInfs in Italy.  Silly me was thinking, Hey, I can take N italy and I won’t have to worry about those!

Doy

I didn’t move the Russians to E Persia for 2 reasons - one that I’m sure you’d either block them or wipe them out, and the other that I honestly hadn’t considered you just stacking the heck out of India like that.  I was so concerned with everything else you might do with those transports…

You know, this game (and several others) have convinced me that there’s just no way to win as the allies against a solid Axis player without getting your USA fleet down to Austrailia and keeping it alive with blockers, while keeping your transitioning fleet in Hawaii alive with blockers as well.  Nothing else I’ve tried seems to work at all.

It has been an amazing game, and I thank you for it!

Hey all, work has been insane, and I’m leaving town this weekend.  Games will resume on Monday.  Sorry for the delay. I’m still around

you too! :)

gg, It was a crazy race for Egypt. After I lost the pacific I decided to throw Japan under the bus.  Its been a pleasure playing with you.  Hopefully we can play again in the future.

Interesting game. The Japan push to Moscow was dangerous.

GG

Northwest Persia is a bottleneck for Germany. Once UK has Egypt, Iraq and Persia locked down it’s extremely difficult for Germany to squeeze through.
I’ve always felt that once Germany takes Russia they should start building naval and transports  in the med. while building up for the big push through NW Persia.
Then they can threaten allied supply lines while preparing for an amphibious assault on Egypt/Trans Jordan.
This was a good game…if you wouldn’t have had such bad dice on your first assault on UK you would have won it.

SS in 98
Transport off S.Africa
INF in Sudan

Good luck!

thanks for the game, can you post it?

Oh, I was def aware of that possibility.  Even your bombers in Bryansk could reach.  That’s why I left the French there.
