L12G40 Aph3+ Corriganbp(allies+3) v. Karl7(axis)

[corriganbp]

although, it looks like you will eventually wear down Mosow regardless.

[Karl7]

You mean so you could fly 9ftrs back to Moscow?  Hm, hard to say what best move is.  You’ve got Japan in kind of a pinch regarless of what happens with Moscow.  This game could get really interesting if you can collapse japan.

[corriganbp]

yeah, I’m not quitting, but it doesn’t look good in Moscow and I might have done things differently.

There’s of course, a chance that I could even get favorable dice in Moscow and after risking everything, that would be devastating to Germany (imagine 5 or 6 aa gun hits on the first round, it’s not that unimagineable) - and then you might have to lose planes to take Moscow or retreat.

I need some time to decide however, sorry can’t promise quick moves unless I’m taking the Anzac and French.

RE: Frood tells me the battle would not be so great, while dskelly says do it.  But if USSR get lucky it would be a major setback regardless.

But yeah, there is still a lot of game left anyhow.

[Karl7]

Glad you didn’t move as there was a mistake in German map.  Sukr has 6arm (3built, 3 from rom) I posted right but forgot to place :-P

Corrigan my man… no word since February…?

You still interested in the game?  :?

[Karl7]

Hey, I guess you’ve got really busy with stuff or lost interest?  No prob.  I will see if anybody wants to sub in.

That battle was interesting.

At the beginning, I thought the Germans were toast. The UK could have become a much bigger threat, by taking Norway for example.

Not sure what the point was to build a naval base on Line islands?

[Karl7]

Yeah, the Allies did not capitalize on the German single minded focus on the USSR.  Not to mention Japan was rocking too.

Taking Norway and building up the pressure against Germany would have been quite effective with cover from UK Navy. UK provide covers, US provides troops. Japan got out of control somehow as well.

Naval Builds on West Coast for first two turns would have forced Japan to slow down. Then US would switch their attention to build up a large land force in Europe (no need to land and hold, just the accumulation of threat of a large land force in Gibraltar is causing big issue. The airbase in Gibraltar seemed overkill too, I would rather have added a carrier.

Interesting to watch nevertheless.

[Karl7]

What I remember about this game was that Germany got killed round1 but then was allowed to dogpile against the USSR.

If you want to see some good games (well, at least the ones I have played as I don’t know much about the others) look at the G40 championship game between me and MR. Green (that I lost) or the first game between me and Gamerman (that I won) in the 2012 league.  Those were pretty even fight up to the last couple rounds. Very dramatic as these things go.
