Edit: What-if UK did not go for aggressive Medi fgt buy in UK1, and instead focus on sea mine in sz 12 and 15, and buy inf art atg at ratio of 4:2:1 and occasional tnk bmb for Cairo.

Just posting to remind, no rush
-
Hey Wheat. Thanks for the reminder. I’m sorry for the delay. Work has been crazy so haven’t had much time. And…the time I have had, frankly, I don’t know what to do!!! :? Have not had a game go this long, and maybe this is how it is supposed to go, but damn, I’m a bit confused. I have a bit of time tonight so hopefully will get some moves in.
You’ve played a bunch more than I have. Pretty normal so far?
-
China and Calcutta are in stronger positions than normal, but the Japanese economy/fleet are in better than average shape despite that. The USSR may be weaker than normal, but Germany can’t go full bore with Allied landings. The Middle East standoff is pretty typical.
It’s unusual for a G40 game to end before turn 7. Most of my games run about 10-15 turns unless there’s a bad dicing or major mistake.
Don’t worry about the delay.
The only advice I would have would be cutting down Japan’s economy, particularly by holding one or more of the DEI (even if it means sacrificing transports).
-
Thanks for the advise. I’ve thrown away a couple of transports harassing you in the DEI, but that is about it so far. It is a costly delay tactic, but feel it had to happen. I really don’t know what exactly to do, but going to keep on doing it!
If you can imagine, I have a US turn!

Hey Wheat,
Sorry for the massive delay. Been swamped with work and just haven’t had the time to get to it. I’ve noticed that TripleA is now available. Never really played it PBEM, but sure looks easier. Interested in trying that out? Although curious how this game goes. This is the longest I have ever played an A&A game.
-
I do plan to try triple A in the near future. Also, if you want to omit typed NCM to speed up play in this match, I don’t mind.
triple A can post direct to forum as well I think (unless ppl using it are copy-pasting here from email)
