I didn’t scramble, as they all seemed worse for you, but let me know if you want to run any of them.
13L G40 MrRoboto(allies+6) vs seththenewb(axis) Rematch
-
Axis once again have the 8VCs required for a win. Allies have until G17 to retake a VC before it’s too late.
-
Ok, some kind of last resort, my last straw of hope.
Please give me OOL
-
You have 4 fighters left. :evil:
-
3 more hits with these last 4 fighters.
-
Lose 2ftr and the dd
3ftrs will land in WGer.
-
3ftr will scramble in sz81 against UK if you decide to mount an attack from there.
Sz113 OOL will be best D. Probably best if you roll on the forum due to the subs.
-
Italy will just sit tight, so you can skip Italy and go ahead and try the Aussies. If I don’t win this turn, I doubt I win.
-
No scramble in sz81 against the Aussies.

That’s it!
A pity, I could have won that game so easily =(
Congratulation. If your G1 would have been properly, this hard mech strategy for moscow seems really strong. Too strong, even. -
GG Roboto . . and yes the mistakes early on with Germany slowed me down. And I learned NOT to try out new strats in league games. My Japan will take Egypt plan didn’t quite work out as planned. :wink:
And yes, I think you did play yourself out of the win. I immediately felt better about my position once US started landing in Europe, I figured US in Europe means less D in Egypt. Maybe you hadn’t realized how much Germany could get to Egypt. Still, it was a VERY close thing and I should have left more air in TrJ that one turn. Your strafe almost did me in and probably should have had you taken it.
As far as the Russian sub. I was delaying Japan until you weighed in to give you an opportunity to move it. It was scary in my mind as a potential can opener to kill a German dd. Probably would have cost me Norway several turns ago had you moved him earlier. It would have taken him a couple turns to get in position. But once he did, Germany would’ve had to retreat to the Baltic sooner. Anywho, GG.
-
Impressive strategy! Japan went straight for Egypt. Never seen anything like that.
-
I dunno about impressive. Different yes, but the whole purpose of the strat was a failure. I still got the win, but that was more in spite of the strat than because of it.
