@JWW:

losing these fleets is really a pain……need to pay much more attention, to everything.

Yeah… losing 5 British transports stings no matter how ya look at it. Were you trying to force me to take Normandy by baiting them out? Your Indian Ocean fleet is still going strong and being a royal pain in the Italian backside though. Mussolini’s getting tempted to call in some Japanese favors. The love of Italian women is universal ;).

@Ziggurat:

agreed…

with respect to the UK fleet, I didn’t really think they were really exposed. I might of overlooked the number of Air that you could bring to the fight.

Although since the begining I have felt that I was outmatched and therefore just screwing around. I have been trying to learn while playing and you have taught me much.

perhaps I shouldn’t wave the white flag yet but I think there have been too many set-backs for the allies. correct me if I am wrong…. GG and thanks for the lessons!

[Ziggurat]

I’d have to agree. Without a British presence in the Atlantic, Germany can go whole hog east. With the Japanese encroaching on India as well, it was going to be a very tough row to hoe. Good game to you, it’s quite fun to play against nice people :).

agreed, perhaps I can give you a bigger challenge next time…besides the stupid mistakes what was the major flaw (s) in my approach to the allies?

[Ziggurat]

Your Russian play was superb. Best I’ve encountered yet. I’d say the African and Pacific campaigns were the weak spots. I’m a big fan of the British going Toronto almost no matter what. Shutting Italy down is a major key. After Italy’s fleet is dead, a couple subs parked in SZ97 and 93 make sure they stay that way and collect <10 IPCs. Also, the pacific fleet movements seemed a little hesitant. The most successful allied strategies I’ve seen hit Japan hard and quick before they could balloon up. All warships with America and leave the tranports/island swapping for ANZAC cleanup. ~round 3 or 4, Japan really has to cower away from an aggressive American fleet. However, after two or three turns of 70+ IPCs, Japan is hard to bring back to Earth.

[666]

I appreciate and agree w/your analysis, especially of my Pacific play, thanks.
