I guess in my frustration with my self when i forgot the blocker i undersold my position. I am not sure 40 IPC’s would be enough at this point. I would say i am in a strong position but crazier things have happened if you were to make a comeback.

Very fun game so far, thanks again for the match.

[akreider2]

It’s always fun when you are winning! I suppose I could see what happens if I go carousing through the Middle East with Germany. I haven’t done that before. I’ve just lost too much air force (and total unit value) to really do much.

It may have all started on round 1 when I forgot to bring that german battleship into a fight which let your battleship live.

I probably should have followed up with more land units and less naval for Japan.

Scramble Russia versus SBR?

[AldoRaine]

no scramble. I have always thought german tanks down in the ME can be very dangerous. One of the hardest things I have found to counter is having the Germans take India and Japan run wild in the Pacific.

[akreider2]

I thought one of my opponents was going to do this, but they just sat around with the stack of tanks and mobile infantry in the middle east. Going for India looks good, but it’s also a long distance and away from the juicy middle east and CAU/VOL NOs.

Had a lucky bombing raid with 0 casualties, and 20 dmg to MOS IC.
(And 1 dmg to the airfield - so far I don’t think I’ve done a useful tactical bomber raid yet in all the games I’ve played).

[AldoRaine]

Unfortunately I am not sure how much time I will have to devote to my games at the moment. I have already fallen behind and do not have a lot of free time for most of July. At best I will only be able to check 1 or 2 times a week.

If you Are feeling generous we can call these games a draw so you can free up more time or we can continue and I will only post sparingly. If you need the win I understand and I am willing to concede on the condition of a rematch at a later date.

Sorry for this but my family and I are somewhat unexpectedly moving and will not have a lot of free time. Thanks again for the game.

[akreider2]

We can put the game on hold for a while if you want. If you were doing a bit better, I’d concede to you. But I think I’ve still got a chance.
