Mainah (X) vs Stough (L) OOB 2nd go

[Stough]

On the the Rising Son. Russia is ready to enter the third tier stats of Italy, UK India and ANZAC.

Had to edit my Russian tac, use the map above. I am quite certain that I missed a whole bunch of things the Russians could have done better, but Frankly, this is the best I could come up with at the moment.

[Stough]

Jesus, my spelling- onto the Rising Sun.

[Stough]

Also, how does the sub economic soaking work? When is that accounted?

[mainah]

@Stough
I assume you are refering to convoying? Any ship an plane in a convoy spot can affect the money.
Its calculated at the end of the turn of the power whose is being convoyed. For sz 97, currently, it is assessed at the collect income phase of italy. 4-5 ships in 97 pretty much means italy no longer collects any money

[mainah]

As far as a better russia turn - i dunno. We know better in a turn or two. Hindsight is 20/20.

[mainah]

Russia ia pressuring japan. While japan needs some heat applied to them, I’m unsure if russia, or at least that much of russian troops, is the way to do it, with germany knocking on moscow’s gates. On the flip side - western and southern europe is 2 turn’s from being a serious issue for germany. Italy has to turttle now. And pivoting the us to focus on japan right now is probably not the solution - you’d lose momentum in europe.
The brits are going to be able to hold southern russia for a bit - maybe longer. I guess the real question is, how does japan move from here. That is what will decide wether or not your russia move was good. And even though i am the axis - i dont have an answer yet. Probably wont know for 2 turns, wether i do it right, or see how i went wrong.
Again - my tactics are pretty good, not great, but pretty good, but my big strategy is very limited.

[mainah]

And you were smart in how rhe ruskies moved into china. You kept the mongolian pact active, and japan is not in a good position to deal with thise 6 extra inf on the nothern border alkng with the 18 rus inf on the western border.
Dont think i could have done better.

[Stough]

Thank you sir. I liked that little move. I wanted to kill your wagon (MI’s) in Kansu oh so badly, but apparently, the Mongol pact works both ways.

If I had thought I was going to flush 9 Russians down the China toilet at the start of the game, I would have predicted a miserable defeat for the Allies.

All I really know is that I had to give up Bryansk, which hurt my feelings. Which also probably means I’m doomed. The Reds aren’t dead yet- we’ll hold.

[mainah]

@Stough
Yes, you had to leave bryansk. But the southern money is safe for now, and that keeps 10 ipc NO bonus from going to germany, on top of the value of the territories. You are not doomed yet. Again - i am very concerned about my long term prospects in europe.

[Stough]

Yep. Europe is going to be a hot mess. On the one hand, I feel like I got there super quick, on the other , I feel like it’s take me forever. I haven’t made it this far before so this is all new territory, but I think this game is getting ready to be super complicated. My head already hurts.

On a side note, I like my groovy 1960’s multi national navy in the Med. I can just hear the bongos in the drum circles. and smell the god awful Pucculli oil.
