G4013L Jeff28(Allies+7) v. Karl7(Axis)

[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My standard strategy was J4 which seems outdated now.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.
