L20 #2 Amon-Sul (X) vs trulpen (A+7) BM3

[trulpen]

Yes, I think Japan is the most complex in the beginning atleast, with all that air. But it evens out. Both are challenging.

[Amon-Sul]

And what do U say about Italy?

[trulpen]

Very fun when they thrive, but is usually tightly kept. Not in this game though. You’ve played them aggressive and well.

[Amon-Sul]

That ankward start of German turn when U have 4 ICs to repair xd

[trulpen]

The only two shadows in your setups is holding out on the Russians and lack of land in Asia.

[trulpen]

Yes, and not so high income as well. That hurts. Which was the point of all that SBR.

[trulpen]

Don’t think you’ll repair it all, but that’s 21 IPC of damage. A bit on the low side. With mean dice it would’ve been 27-28.

[trulpen]

I took quite a high risk there when blocking with 2 des. If Italy had succeded breaking the block that whole fleet would now be ocean filling.

Yeah, well, I am a solid, not a perfect player.

And some sacrificies had to be made for greater good.

I had 30 % I think, I simply had to try.

[trulpen]

Yes, that was the main point of stacking there. Not so much to put pressure on Finland and Norway. On short sight that’s rather pointless for dear Russia.

What do U mean by holding out on the Russians, U mean playing too defensively against Russia?

Allied cooperation. nice.

At the same time I had a very good alternative of staying in Belarus and preventing intrusion in E Poland. But maybe I didn’t have quite enough for that feat?

[Amon-Sul]

@trulpen

I am not sure now, hard to tell, should had to go to look the past situation on the map.

i am thinking about my German move now, and buyings, there are more options, and I need to choose one of them xd

Yes, and mainly a lot of investment has gone into fleet and kicking UKs butt, but that means Germany is rather weak on the eastern front. I believe more immediate pressure has to be made against Russia. It’s Germany’s key objective in the early game. Early Sea Lion is a trap.

[trulpen]

At the same time you killed me with your awkward (or atleast unorthodox) allied opening. It’s a bit too early to conclude this game. Italy is a powerhouse!

So U do not think Sea Lion (even if sucessfull) is a good option?
