Desert Admiral (Axis) vs FMRommel (Allies+16)

[FMErwinRommel]

Ignore the marti dice, I thought that I was play testing locally.

@FMErwinRommel said in Desert Admiral (Axis) vs FMRommel (Allies+16):

Japan’s rapid conquest after just 2 turns is scary. When I play Axis, Japan advances fast on China, but leaves Rus alone. I went back to prior games to see Japan’s progress. In my recent games, I move on India with large land force. You are advancing across Russia and thru China towards Russia. Rus can’t afford to send units eastward. With Brit about to lose Egypt, it can’t spend a lot to defend Rus. I need to consider all options. I will sleep on it. I like BM3 because Japan has to garrison every interior territory, which slows down its advance.

I have several different strategies for Japan. This is a bit of a modification of one of my Japanese strategies that I’m trying. It does reduce USSR’s income nicely… :)

@Desert_Admiral I also don’t normally do a 2 factory build.

War is declared. UKP couldn’t stand by and let Japan sweep thru Rus and China. I realized that the N.O.s for UKP and ANZ were only for when they were at war, so may as well jump in and get the cash before you take Hong Kong anyway.

@FMErwinRommel Aggressive Brits! Japan has no qualms with the British empire!!

Ha, Japan would have taken Hong Kong before China was completely conquered. Asia for the Asians, blah, blah, blah.
I was excited when I saw the first round battle dice for Egypt. Bat Calc gave Italy 60% chance, not guaranteed by any means. I rolled better and you rolled worse than expected. But in a most unusual turnaround within a single battle, you rolled far above in round 2 and I rolled 0-7. Which more than offset the first round results. I was hoping to at least cost you a ftr or 2 and leave you vulnerable. At least the China/India offensive rolled well.

ANZ can be a big thorn in the side of Japan. UKPac & ANZ together made more than Japan this turn. That won’t last. But when the U.S. is added in, Japan will have to watch its back in the Pacific.

Rus is in trouble. I like the Euro Axis strat. Even tho Ger lost most of its ftr/TB against Brit and the survivors are helping Italy, Ger has powerful army. Ger has 49 ground troops in E. Pol without DOW and gets the N.O. for one more turn. Just 2 Ita tanks jump to an early can opener. Usually, Rus doesn’t leave lots of troops on the border since they will get overwhelmed. But in this case, Rus should have left 1-2 in E. Pol. Ger in strong position w/o ftr/TB. 3 bombers already in range to strat bomb Moscow. Because Ger didn’t DOW, Rus couldn’t DOW yet. Would have been cool to blitz thru Bal S > Pol with air support. But at best, would have traded 3 Rus ground for 6 Ger mech.

@FMErwinRommel The Italian can opener in East Poland is a great move. Much easier if Russia doesn’t leave anything there.

U.S. made big mistake sending Pac fleet to Midway. Jpn build of I.C.s instead of tt’s and attacking Rus and all planes on mainland instead of CVs, meant it would be land war, with delayed and minor island taking. U.S. should have sent tt’s and CVs to sz54 and reinforce Phil on turn 2. Everybody abandons Phil, but this case is unique. Being in Midway will take me 2 turns to get to Aust.
