G40L13Karl(Axis)v.Cow(Allies +8) Rematch

[Cow]

oh… I didn’t notice one of your carriers was not fully loaded…

well I would not attack that if it was loaded.

[Cow]

I can do my turn differently.

[Karl7]

You will allow me to load cvs?

[Cow]

Well yeah…

Then again I did make the mistake of keeping anzac loaded on the USA carrier. My 2 china air units cannot make the fight.

Still it is probably better I just go fight for islands.

[Cow]

We can have a big pacific showdown or not. It is up to you.

[Cow]

Take your time to think about it.

Depending on kamikaze rolls it is a fight that could favor you. Plus it is a fight to the death for me… I win my fighters crash. I lose my fighters crash. LOL.

[Cow]

I am going out so I won’t be able to post till tom

[Karl7]

So I am clear, if I load my cvs, you will not attack.  If I do not, you will attack but the battle you think is about even?

Hmmm, my only chance is delay, so I will load. That is very gentlemanly of you.  :-D

Re: Why I think I lost.
My thinking on G40 is that the Allies have the advantage.  I know that is against conventional wisdom, but I almost never lose as the Allies, and usually my allies losses are from dumb errors.  It seems to Allies every time can crunch Japan before Germany gets even close to killing Russia.  Then the allied fighters land once Japan is contained and there is no chance. I am starting to think that Germany may really need to go after the UK to draw off pressure from Japan.  My Axis strategy has been basically all out against the USSR. But as stated, it never works as the Allies see that and crunch Japan.  But then if I threatened UK and really boosted Italy, Russia would become a behemoth.  Hmm, I am not the best Axis player,  so maybe I just need to go back to the drawing board.  Another big Axis thing that shuts them down is luck.  Bad luck in the first couple rounds is a game ender for the Axis.

[Cow]

I will send you a pm as to why the axis is stronger than most people realize.
