League13 G40 Arathorn (Axis) vs Wheatbeer (Allies +16) Game 1

  • 15 14

    To clarify: I saw some discussions about Tier 1 players like you having a disadvantage by playing Tier3 or 4 because you could drop in ranking despite a win, that’s what I thought I mention that.

    I know some worry about it, but I don’t mind playing those that want to play me. I know it can hurt my ranking, but everybody deserves a shot. :)

    We can play, but I would like to start bidding over. The reason why I was willing to give such a high bid to Wheatbeer was because we’re both Axis experts :)

    JapanDOWRound1Fan,

    No worries about commenting, I follow other people’s games too.

    On paper, I don’t look so bad … But I can’t project power where I need to, as fast as I need to. Germany will be pumping troops on all sides of Moscow (soon from Volgograd as well, since I can’t split forces much longer to guard the south).

    Germany will have basically uncontested control of 7 VCs in a couple turns. If they can’t crack Moscow, they can use their massive income and fleet to crush London (which will actually be easier than Moscow after Italy overruns Africa).

    Sidenote:

    Arathorn could be threatening London almost immediately if he had landed some planes on Gibraltar to stop American liberation.

    As it sits, my best Atlantic move would be to liberate Gib. with the US then build an airbase there with the UK and land the UK fighters there (preventing an Italian recapture).

    That would keep Germany’s fleet stuck in the Mediterranean for a little while, but ultimately, that would be a futile gesture.

    @JapanDOWRound1Fan:

    I see some merits of a strong Russia but so far I thought an bids are placed best where having an immediate impact or a significant strategic impact in future stages (e.g. Inf New Guinea)

    Generals always prepare to fight to last war.

    I believe I chose this bid after facing a G1 Barbarossa and I wanted to have men ready to counterattack Eastern Poland if I faced the same situation.

    Since I won that game and lost this one, I won’t defend my bid  :lol:
