31 tanks so sick, never seen so many

–Jeff

[Karl7]

Sine you have not said, I will assume we are not playing with technology.

So, looks like this it. Do or die.  I should die.  I know, I know, I could pull back and try to keep maneuvering around waiting for an outside chance that the Japan can rise up.  But what the heck.  I hate the build up to Moscow attack and then it never happens.

Here’s to luck, which given my record I should not get much of.

[Jeff28]

We never said on tech, I guess either way is fine. Whatever you think is fair.

Best of luck to the good guys!

–Jeff

[Karl7]

If you are allowing tech, I will go for it!  I doubt it will make any difference though……  :lol:

[Jeff28]

What would save you? Heavy bombers? Advanced artillery?

Never used tech on this version since you can’t keep the tokens.

Do you get to pick the tech if you hit or is it a dice roll where you can end up with super subs or war bonds?

[Karl7]

well you win.  I got bad luck on the battle… can you F%$#! believe that?  This the second time recently when on a major battle I gotten completely killed by the dice.  Maybe the fates are telling me something.

I’ll post the win.

[Jeff28]

Thanks. I was a pretty big favorite, at least before your tech.

Let me know if you’d like a rematch.

Thanks and good game.

–Jeff

[Karl7]

Maybe in a few.  I got to many games going to keep track of what’s happening.  Plus I am not sure what happened to Axis that made them suck so bad this game.  They never got off the ground.  I think I need to go back to the drawing board on how I play this game.

I’ll pm you when I am ready.

[Jeff28]

I suck at playing axis, but I think a J2 or J3 Japan attack is better. Although it was frustrating for the Americans to sit and wait.

Taranto and the Alex attack killed Italy early, which always hurts.

I thought your German set up was great. If Japan or Italy was doing better it could have worked.

–Jeff

[Karl7]

My standard strategy was J4 which seems outdated now.  Especially against good players.  Anzac’s annoying trns and dds really slowed up Japan.
