JDOW (X) vs farmboy (L+12) BM3

[JDOW]

What a tough turn but I again reached the point I am not willing to invest more time.

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion lol yes. Whatever else happens in this game, at least I have kept Italy from becoming a 70 IPC monster. Even if I lose, I will treat that as a personal accomplishment.

[farmboy]

@JDOW I’m glad it was a tough turn. I knew that it was unlikely that you would go for it, but I still have trouble giving opponents almost 80% odds. My sense though was that I didn’t have to win there for it to still work out for me, just needed to avoid a disastrous dicing.

And my other option was Marianas. I was just about to start the combat round on a turn where I had gone there, when I decided to do Sumatra. If I was doing well in Europe, I would have gone for the safe move, but I felt I needed something more decisive in the pacific to still have a chance in this game.

[JDOW]

I think I was set for a move to Marianas, I believe it would have had less impact than the Sumatra move. I would have easily defended Tokyo and would have been uncontested in the South. I believe the Mariana move would only be dangerous in combination with a Harbour. That’s why I decided to sac a transport in order to take that options away.
A fleet attack was a no-go with India back in UK hands. Japan cannot cripple its air force with all 3 around, India, China and the Russians. Now the Indians are gone and the Chinese crippled. So 2/4 accomplished but the situation in the Southern Pacific is miserable.

As said, I forgot to run the odds at Sumatra, only at Java where I would have attacked if you moved there. I had a turn mapped out to stay at Java with my fleet. Maybe, I should have going for this option (maybe with a Harbour at Java)

So let’s see. Japan is in trouble but has some accomplishments on her side and still a pretty intact force on all 3 elements, land, air and water.
And I think it is apparent the Germans are in good shape.

Very exciting and tough game!

[farmboy]

@JDOW Yeah. That I couldn’t build a naval base there was a significant factor in deciding not to do that. Although in this case, the move I made was the right one, given the need to change the situation in the pacific quickly.

Given the position of the Germans I think it will be tough for me to turn this around. I think I needed to find a way to slow you down a bit more in Europe to have a chance, but I’ll still give it a try. Should get to the turn tomorrow. I think I know the broad outlines and US combat is mapped out, but still need to consider the turn as a whole.

And yes. this is an exciting and tough game!

Is it possible to adjust a US ncm. Meant for a transport to stay in 54 but forgot when I was doing the move.

[JDOW]

ok, you can adjust.

[JDOW]

Although the Italien fig gave a bit of extra information :-)

But it i fine as said. Feel free to adjust.

made the edit. Feel free to change back though as it isn’t critical. The italian fighter isn’t an issue for this though. I would obviously take India if I thought I could do so safely, but I don’t expect I will be able to for a while. But less chance of transports being blocked if I have them starting in 3 zones rather than 2. Not that I expect you will use your destroyers to act as blockers now.

[JDOW]

No worries, it is all fine of course and I agree the IT fig had nothing to do with it.
