@Adam514:

About the early India grab,you also bought an AA instead of inf/art which made the stacking of Burma significantly easier. Declaring with UK and leaving that stack in Burma was a mistake in my opinion.

Yeah. I think I underestimated how much you could land in Burma and assumed I still had enough to take it. The AA seemed to make sense since it was a better defensive unit against your air.

Hey farmboy, I have followed this game and you showed great fighting spirit. I guess you meanwhile have realized that it is too late to turn the tide but as long as you enjoy the game, keep going :-)

Regarding the unprovoked DOW in round 2. I guess this has cost you the game. Frankly, unprovoked with Anzac in round 2 is a horrible idea, unless you either prevent Japan from loading units with that trick (move UK DD in NCM into Japanese fleet and declare war with Anzac then) or if you KILL Japanese units during the DOW. Just collecting some bucks is definitely not worth it.

In your case, IF you want to do unprovoked you need to do it with UK and attack Yunnan then PLUS you need to stack Burma so that Japan cannot take it (Bring Anzac ground and air to Burma). If you can accomplish this, you can do unprovoked with UK, if not, do not do unprovoked.

Your Chinese dudes also partly played into Japan hands. It is usually not a good idea to offer few units in Sze exposing them to rather cheap airstrikes.
Either stack Sze full or leave the units in Shensi. You added Chinese units to Sikang after Chi 1. This does not make any sense. Either put them to Sze, and if not, put everything to Shenshi.

I hope this helps and best regards,
Tobias

thanks for the feedback Tobias. I’ll have to go back and look at those moments again. On the ANZAC DOW Probably I was expecting a J3 DOW and figured I should get the jump on it to get the money. Will rethink that next time.

One thing I’d be interested in feedback on (from you or Adam or others) as well is on the G4/J4 Dows. I’m curious how much of that was planned and how much of that was a reaction to how the game played to that point. I also expected the later Dows to favour me (especially in the Pacific). That clearly didn’t pan out. Was that a function of me failing to capitalize on it (and especially messing up my India/ANZAC/China play) or are there other advantages to the later DOWs or other mistakes I made that were more consequential.

And I tend to enjoy games that I am losing more in so far as I find desperate playing more fun. Although its even more fun when that desperate playing can turn a game around.
