Wow!!  This game goes to show how strong Germany is.  Russia has diced me all game.  I miss with a 3 and a 4 and you hit with a 2.  Then America joins in the fun.  5 out of 10 dice you hit.  8 of which were 1’s and 2’s.

I had mentioned it earlier but when I move with Japan I will edit my fighter and tac in Japan to Kwangsi.  I posted it right after my last move but you did not see.  If you have issues with that just let me know:)

[Stalingradski]

There is no doubt about the dicing in this game against you, and you’re still doing well - that shows good strategy and yes, how strong Germany can be.

No problem with Japanese units!

I really thought that you would fortify Norway.  Granted, it would have been really risky since Germany can put so much stuff in that area in one turn.  That would have definitely moved the focus away from Germany.

On a side note.  I would have been soooo mad if you would have won in Celebes AGAIN!!  There was no other option for me but go for it.  Couldn’t back it up with my navy cause US/Anzac combo would have wiped them out.  After the first hit I might have cussed a little:)

I meant Russia not Germany:)

Your air power kept me away… you had enough to take out my fleet. I wanted to build an IC, but had to be patient!  :-)

It might have been my one chance to get rooted in, though… we’ll see. I don’t really like spending too much time in the Atlantic if it isn’t either Norway or SZ91. Nothing else (Normandy, etc.) gets good bang for the buck.

yet again, another error in my NCM.  Here is the updated file.  Pretty important that you play this one cause it changes some battles pretty significantly.

So I guess now is as good a time as ever to talk about the game.  I think this J4 paired with your G4 would be very hard to stop.  I understand things may be a little different if Russia helps china out like in the game we played where the sides were switched but, I had a distinct advantage cause I knew that you were going G4.  Things may have been a lot different in our first game if I hadn’t known until turn 2 or 3 that you were not going to attack.  With the way I set up Japan, they could have easily secured Cairo so that I could have never gotten it back.  I barely got it back as it was.  (I know I hosed on Taranto).  If you would have had 8-10 transports loaded ready to take Calcutta or move on to Cairo it would have been hopeless.  That is neglecting the 20+ airplanes that could have joined as well.  Making 70+ ipcs, there would have been no problem shoring up the Japanese capital in order to hold out for the German VC win!!!

You have to remember that my buddy and I have never played VC rules.  We have always played till the other surrenders.  Makes it tough on the axis a bit but really allowed us to devise good strategies on both sides without the others help.

So far things have gone mostly (could have done without the excessive amount of Russian 2’s:)) to plan for me.  My main goal as the axis is to try to get the money situation pretty even. With the allies being a few moves away from acting on any sort of a plan, the axis, (as long as the money is even), can counter pretty easily.  I will say that in the games I have played prior to this one, Russia has never been this good as far as getting LOTS of hits.  I don’t think I have been diced the whole game by all countries, just in most situations regarding the Russians.  It has prompted me to change my first purchase.  Here is why….

Most of the time I have had enough cheap units last to make mostly tank purchases acceptable.  I found against you that there came a point where I had only tanks to attack with which is far to expensive.  I am going to change my G2 purchase to 5 in 5 art and 4 tanks instead of the standard 10 tank purchase I have used in the past.  I think that would have been far more beneficial in our game in particular.  If the situation arises where I am getting beat down in Russia again that should solve that problem.  I can continue to purchase tanks and mech and airforce as needed from that point on.

Would love to hear the thoughts of the #13 ranked player on A&A.org:)  Just checked the rankings today!!  Impressive!!  I knew I was playing the real deal in our first game but that just confirmed it for me!:)
