You can move the Russian fig of course.

Sorry, forgot German DD and slightly changed Jap buy. certainly not influenced by dice.

[MrRoboto]

Game is yours again

[JDOW]

Hatte zum Glueck das richtige Tempo fuer den Marsch nach Egypt. 1-2 Zuege langsamer und das kann knapp werden.
Wie erwartet war Japan totaler Pain nach dem Java Desaster obwohl ich Amur und Shan State 2 mal gut gecleared habe. Da hast du Japan schon ausgelaugt.

Entscheidend war, dass Moskau zu leicht gefallen ist. Da hast du es zu easy gemacht. Auch mit dem Buy der fast units. Wenn du da 5-6 defender mehr hast, dann kann das alles veraendern.

Danke und GG und geiler Speed. Das macht echt Laune mit dir, wenn man fast games spielen will!

[MrRoboto]

Die Idee war, dich daran zu hindern zu weit vorzumarschieren und dafür ein wenig Druck aufzubauen. Zu oft sitze ich mit 100 units in Moskau fest, während Deutschland dann einfach den Kaukasus, Stalingrad nimmt und damit etlich Geld einsammelt ohne Moskau zwingend zu erobern. Deutschland kann dann da sitzen und gleichzeitig Persien und Moskau bedrohen und dabei reich werden.

Die grundsätzliche Strategie ging auch fast auf, ich habe nur etwas wenig Ground units im Nahen Osten gehabt, dafür etwas viel unnütze Mittelmeerflotte. Ich denke das war einer der größten taktischen Fehler.

[JDOW]

@MrRoboto:

Die Idee war, dich daran zu hindern zu weit vorzumarschieren und daf�r ein wenig Druck aufzubauen.

Dann muss es aber auch dafuer sorgen, dass die Deutschen einen Schritt noch vorwaerts marschieden koennen, so dass du mind. 50% odds hast, wenn ich mich neben den russischen Stack stelle.
Ansonsten ist mauern angesagt. Gerade ja auch, weil du mit den USA KJF gespielt hast. In der Konstallation baust du ja darauf, dass du Japan down bringst und dann alles auf Deutschland werfen kannst.
Da ist dann das Ziel dabei, in Europa so weit es geht zu verhindern, dass Deutschland total alles dominiert.

Sprich: Wenn du mit Japan KJF spielst und die 18+2 Russen zum Schlachten anbietest, dann solltest du mir Russland komplett mauern und fast nur inf bauen die ersten 5-6 turns. So viele 12-13 unit buys wie moeglich.

Und, dazu nochmal der Tipp, dafuer sorgen, dass du so wenig units wie moeglich von Moscow anschneidest. Du platzierst zu lang units in Novo z.B. und verschwendest zu viele Units als Blocker.
Es war z.B. total unnoetig in Rus 2 je 2 units nach EP und Bessa zu stellen.

Wenn Moskau nicht so easy faellt, kann es sein, dass die Deutschen es nicht schaffen.
Es sei aber auch angemerkt, dass Japan nicht so leicht faellt, wenn Java nicht passiert. Das hat mich die ganze Dynamik und noch nen extra transport gekostet.

Agree zur Med Flotte. Da kann ich dir den Tipp geben, dass du genug Dedication zeigen musst, um Italy Flotte dann wirklich zu smashen, wenn du Fleet aufbaust. Sonst in der Tat tote IPCs, die da Urlaub in Egypt machen :)

Außerdem noch: Hast es mir zu leicht gemacht, die Amis aus Gib rauszuhalten. Wenn du da 1-2 turns schneller bist, hab ich ja die Westfront mit D noch.

[JDOW]

dafuer sorgen, dass die Deutschen einen Schritt noch vorwaerts marschieden koennen

NICHT einen Schritt marschieren koennen.
