These dice are driving me insane  :|

[jim010]

I feel for you.  I haven’t looked at the map yet, but I’ve had a run of losses that I can attribute to dice (and my opponents taking advantage of my bad luck very expertly).

I remember I had 97% odds on taking Moscow on turn 6 in one of my recent games.  Odds said I should live with 12 units.  Instead he lived with 14 units.  :cry:

[jim010]

I’m at work and don’t have triple A.  I may be leaving for the weekend, so I may not even get Allies done until I get back.

I need time to see how to deal with your openings anyway.  Fastest you can get to Moscow is turn 5, but it looks like you need to pause for a turn, so turn 6 realistically.  I have some projections to work out.

Japan is intersting.  I’ve heard of others doing this, but never played against it.  I may break my own rule and actually look at some other games for inspiration.

Cheers

[jim010]

I see, now going through the summary that Phi and Yunnan went bad.  Pain in the butt.

[seth4god]

No worries, feel free to do so. I think I’m like 5-2 with this strat. The first loss doesn’t really count since Germany was strong but my Japanese partner sacrificed most of his IJN on the 1st turn to counters and US only had to put 2ss in the pac after turn 1. US can full bore Europe and Japan was in no position to win. The second loss came when I missed a near 100% can open of Denmark and sack of Berlin even though the rest of the map was looking good but still very much up in the air.

My strat is to go balls to the wall and force the allies to the breaking point. I have an advantage in terms of men and material but must overcome a disparity in initial production. Why wait to kick off the war when the allies have such an advantage? I wait too long and the allies will outproduce the axis to death. US is key here, too little or too much in either side will mean a win on whichever side US isn’t spending on. And forced to split their buys, US isn’t nearly as strong or dominant. Russia can be a quick win for me or Japan can take India and be one VC away from the win or bum rush Moscow/Mideast. If nothing else, it’s a fun and interesting game!  :-D

[seth4god]

Although my opening was far from perfect and my strat might be staring at it’s 3rd loss if the dice continue to be lopsided.  :-P

[jim010]

My opener is not really much different, but I aim for a turn 6 Moscow starting on G2 instead of G1.  Looks like we just have a variation of the same theme in Europe.

Japan is certainly a fresh opener, though.  Carries the same theme as the India Crush of old.

You’re right, it will be interesting.  Quite a problem for me to solve.

But the dice are fickle.

Anyway, have a good weekend.

[jim010]

Holy crap, I lived with my fht in sz111?

I take back what I said - I’m happy I scrambled!

[jim010]

I got 4 hits in sz31.

I need to know what you lose.

Map.

[seth4god]

Man, 4 hits .  . . . hmmm. Usually I stock the dd there instead of sz6, first time anyone’s hit me there.

Let’s see, kill 2 tac + cv.

It seemed like the thing to.

I’m at work and can’t finish until later this evening.

[jim010]

OK, I’m at home.  You hit 3 times so I lost 3 fht.  I rolled again for a second round and got 2 hits, so I need your losses again.

I think I ended up getting you 2 dmg carriers instead of just losing 1 full carrier.  I’ll edit that if needed.

Cheers

[seth4god]

two fighters

[jim010]

I was wanting to lose the bmb, but lost the fht instead.  I’ll have to edit that back.  I want the fht to land in Haw and the tac on the carrier.

[seth4god]

ok, what’s the issue?  :-P
