france does nothing

[Colt45554]

I concede.

Among many errors, I regret not getting Japan’s air in position to cover German advance at the right time. I am now losing the arms race in Mid East and nothing indicates that that will change.

Learned a lot, had a lot of fun.

Congrats on your victory and masterful play  :-)

Thanks! I think you played a very strong game. I also think you should start playing in the league section. Your strength is definately tier 1 or highter. I think you are right, Japan air to land on German advances would maybe allow you to break trhrough in the middle east in time, but it is not so easy to do when southwest asia is allied controlled. Right now it is a stalemate in the middle east and that is to my advantage. However, you will probably be able to hold this position for several rounds, but that does not change anything. Pacific must eventually aid China on the mainland too, due to my incompetence of not blocking you!

Your crete position is nice, very difficult for me to deal with. Maybe I should have put focus on taking this out….

A couple of other things. I think you should have bought a minor in Rostov way before your caucasus minor. This would also have helped you. I am also curious on how it would go if you had attacked turkey as this gives some more options in order to do hit and runs in the middle east. Probably would not work well, but I am not sure. I remember I looked at it and saw some good things for you.

And bombing raids are soooooooooooooooo dainfull

[Colt45554]

I considered Turkey but decided you could either counter-attack or you’d have huge force in Spain and once that happens, it’s over.

Yeah, your bombing campaign was just too much. Did you regret taking Iraq as Russia or would you do it again?

As for Iraq, I always take it with Russia.  In this game I was buying mechs for China and lost too many there,that’s why I lost Russia too early I think. You get Russia at too low cost. I would also take more Italian areas but became pointless. I think buying infs for Russia and taking Iraq makes Russia a fortress. Will be very difficult to take with a few fighters!
