18L axis-dominion (+6) vs oysteilo (allies) bm3

[oysteilo]

nah

this is bullshit. I surrender

[oysteilo]

I have been making 50-80 bucks more than you every round and still I can’t gain TUV. I feel I have not been wasting units, but somehow I must have been (except last round or so)

Maybe it was wrong to stay in india, but honestly I dont see much more than that

Any feedback on my errors is appreciated

well done!

[axis-dominion]

wow, you surrender, really?! you were having a pretty good game overall, definitely super high income, tight grip on Japan, the med, excellent convoys, etc. I thought for sure this would be one of my more challenging games to try to win. admittedly G was very powerful, but still, US alone is over 100 income!

staying in india actually worked out well for you… my results weren’t great at all, which allowed your china to blow up.

well, feel free to change your mind on the surrender. but if you insist, then we should start a new game. you can choose which side.

I think you are a solid opponent. I hadn’t played you in a long, long time. I must say you’ve improved so much!

you think this is premature??? If you REALLY do I will consider it. There is no momentum. USA will be minus 15 next round, maybe UK will be a buck up, Russia will be down minus 15 or so and germany will be up +10 or so

dont you think?

[oysteilo]

lets have some experts look at the situation and give their take then, ok with that?

Sure thing. Let them have at it.

If I am gonna continue it wont be for another few days, A lot of holidays in norway, half day tomorrow, may 17 is independence day from the evil swedes and danes, friday i take off and monday is also off. Will be able to play

[oysteilo]

I’ll call on JDOW and ADAM

[oysteilo]

@oysteilo:

I’ll call on JDOW and ADAM

JDOW and ADAM:

Can you “call” this game? I am convinced this is a brutal loss for the allies. axis-d think i should continue

[oysteilo]

I assue I can restart Soviet this round

[Adam514]

It doesn’t look like Egypt can be saved, and Allies don’t have anything to pressure Germany who can then take 6 turns or so building slow then fast units to take Moscow.

It’s not that premature.

[JDOW]

With China fallen (tough to reclaim by the Germans given the partisan rules), USA at 101 income, 97 convoyed, +400 IPC before Japan (and probably 450-500 IPC edge after UK) I admit, I would not surrender at this time.

The Axis have the advantage but before Egypt has fallen for sure I would continue.

However I would redo the Russian turn. Reclaim and stack as many territories as you can.
And fight for Egypt.

@oysteilo:

Yes of course. If you decide to continue, you may resume from start of Russian turn.

Interesting game. Looks still unclear to me who has the upper hand here.

Don’t understand why you say this. This game is lost big time by the allies. They have nothing here long-term.  In two rounds income is equal and all momentum on axis hands.

[oysteilo]

If you think you can squeeze out a win here I am more than ok to hand it over to you  :-D
