you were on fire! you got so many hits, definitely a good round for you

[gamerman01]

Until you got to Celebes, Borneo, and Kiangsu
Yeah, still a defender’s game though

yah true, i guess i should’ve mentioned the sea battles were awesome for you

[axis-dominion]

japan feels whole again…finally

[axis-dominion]

curious, did you expect this move? or were you certain i was going to slam india?

[gamerman01]

@axis-dominion:

japan feels whole again…finally

Japan is in big trouble

how so? i guess maybe i missed it then

[gamerman01]

@axis-dominion:

I thought it was a tough call, but I knew that to hit India there would be disastrous for you, even if you rolled up a bit.  I was expecting both.  You made a great move.  If we were on 20 minute time limits per turn, I don’t think I could keep up with you.  But we’re not.  You need to slow down a little bit, man
Another big US/UK turn.  We’ll see if I get to it tonight or tomorrow or not

[gamerman01]

@axis-dominion:

I think your logistical play is great, especially in recent rounds.  I think Japan has too many fronts and the UK/ANZ/USA have too much money for Japan to keep up indefinitely.  I don’t think Japan will be able to expand much, though 3 dead USA bombers to really lucky dice help a lot

[gamerman01]

And Russia is a major, major problem and I don’t see a solution
I’m interested to see how long your Axis will survive

[gamerman01]

I’ll say something else positive -
The amount of air you purchase and your skill at using them are both unusual.  Gives you a better chance to catch opponent off guard, but if you don’t do that or make big gains, time is not your friend

thanks, i appreciate the compliment. i know i made a couple positional mistakes early on with japan, but yah i do feel i’m making better moves now, but i’m also thinking them through more thoroughly.

yah i understand allied income is far superior for now and prob will continue if you keep doing what you’re doing, but it’s not without its significant costs in tuv and lack of true gains/conquests. and yes of course that bomber loss last round was a big deal for japan, no question about that. changes a lot, as your strat depends on at least some bomber presence.

[axis-dominion]

japan so far has been on the defense and reacting a lot, especially since you put more focus on it and you keep darting at me with all those tps. japan is really just trying to put out one major crisis after another…that chinese income stack you had for a while really worried me, but now that threat is simply gone. likewise your bombers are gone, so another threat down. soon your convoy should be gone as well, so yet another threat down.

of course japan still has quite a bit of work cut out for it, and it’s not out of the hot oil yet, i get that, but i do feel it has made some significant progress last couple rounds.

as for russia, yah it’s big, but not out of control. euro axis have some decent income and some other things going for them in egypt, so it’s not all that bad i think, not great but not bad i think.

[axis-dominion]

also one of my major objectives was to blow out your transport capability in the indian ocean, to give euro axis some ability to hopefully expand out…it wasn’t an easy decision and cost me a plane in the process. we’ll see if it pays off any.

uh oh

True.  I need to replace them immediately

They’ll be back, also ASAP  :-)
Good analysis, but good luck taming the bear
