yikes your strategy does seem unbeatable!

i assume your strategy is buy bombers AND sacrifice virgins to the dice gods.

[allweneedislove]

@JamesAleman:

Also, while at work, I authorize Andy to reply for me (since I won’t be near a computer) after he fills me in by phone. Auswanderersland is his name or something like that.

sounds good

[Auswanderersland]

lol, rolls will always win the game regardless of strategy if they remain this good.

[JamesAleman]

If I had access to that many virgins, I wouldn’t have time for Axis and allies ;)

Sorry about the dice, we’ll see if freak weather takes its toll on my bombers at some point.

I hope you don’t mind, when I hit four times you had a choice of keeping a damaged carrier, a dd both defend at 2, or a fighter that would crash if I retreated. I chose to keep your fighter since I planned on staying (something you may not have known), but I didn’t want another day to go on, so rather than make you choose to keep the carrier and then roll at a 2, I kept the fighter which was your best option if I am staying and it hit. Either way, your next roll was a 2, meaning the carrier would have hit anyway so it all worked out well. (except for your low rolls and my high rolls this game…sorry)

[JamesAleman]

For people reading about dark skies, here is my thought process:

Because of the focus on Italy’s navy, prior to my turn, I chose to abandon a concerted attack on Egypt, planning (before UK’s rolls after my scramble decision) to use what I thought would be my sole remaining transport to bring a tank and infantry to Yugo, figuring I would be down a mech from not taking S. France in order to preserve the integrity of my bomber strategy (since Italy is expendable in theory).

As it turned out I had a good defense round when UK did roll. In keeping with what I thought was going to be worse, I still chose to not hit S. France with my standard 2 transports 4 infantry from S. Italy to S. France. Instead I found that due to Italian providence I can bring 2 more units to Yugo than expected, thus eliminating the need to use Italy’s turn 2 production for Russia but forcing a later navy build to ever put pressure on Egypt (figuring that my fleet will still be sunk or decimated after Frances and UK’s next turn). I also deviated from building 2 mech saving 2 IPCs to making one armor to compensate for the expect 1 less mech due to my lower income later rounds.

If I still have the chance to produce 3 mech next turn (barring bombing), I may still do so, bringing my piece count for Italian defense of Bryansk from 16 (2 aagun,4inf,2art,6mech,2 arm) to 18 (2aagun,6inf,3art,4mech,3arm) if you had successfully killed my transport then I expect even going Italy first in future games to field 16 pieces by clearing the cruiser (with a bomber and sub)that should have been 96 then bringing the tank and inf to Yugo (expecting to lose navy but clear waters without the extra sub,bomber) making the force composition (2aagun,5inf,2art,4mech,3arm) in future crush Italy first strategies.
