wheat, looking at the map, it appears i have possibly forgot to move a bunch of russian infantry from moscow to bryansk - doesn’t look right.  let me investigate.

[boldfresh]

yeah, i definitely did.  i think i meant to move all 18 of the infantry that were in moscow to joint the forward stack in bryansk.  had you noticed?  did it affect your japanese move at all?

[boldfresh]

yeah with that big moscow stack, i just forgot to move the infantry forward.  dunno if it was shellshock from the italians ripping me or what but i definitely intended to move those infantry forward.  i highly doubt it affected your japanese move so i will start planning the allies and wait to hear from you.

[wheatbeer]

I assumed that you intended to defend Bryansk with US air reinforcement.

But it makes no difference to Japan for this turn.

[boldfresh]

I hope im not forgetting somethin I was thinking at the time but I dont think there is any reason to leave a ton of inf in moscow.  Air on the ab is the way to go.

We’ve built 8 air/naval bases between Holland, Midway, Wake, Java, SE Mexico, Tobruk, and Spain. That’s pretty amazing. Also 5 mIC if you count the one lost to China.

@wheatbeer:

I built 6 of the 8.  Hope I can make good use of them.

[wheatbeer]

I am noticing some possible errors.

One, I am certain is an oversight: the UK units in China.

The others, you may or may not be unhappy about if I exploit, so I encourage you to take another look at the map and confirm that you’re happy with the NCM. I don’t want to have to deal with retroactive changes since both halves of the map are increasingly interrelated.

[wheatbeer]

Didn’t mean to sound so gruff  :lol:

I don’t want you to end up regretting the turn or consider a mistake game-ending, but I also don’t like to show my hand by pointing out Axis opportunities either.

[boldfresh]

I did move quickly and yes at least forgot uk in china AGAIN.  Let me take a look.  Perhaps 91 fleet underdefended or other possibilities.  Will try to look tonight.  In a flurry to get off for the holidays flying out friday.

[wheatbeer]

Speaking of which, I’ll be out of town for Christmas between the 23rd and 27th (give or take, depending on weather).

I may be able to post a turn or two anyways, but not 100% sure.

[boldfresh]

Other than uk noncoms I am missing it as of this glance.  Will have to look closer.

[boldfresh]

i admit i have had a hectic week and there was some time between my russia move and the japanese move.  however i still do not see imminent victory for axis.  unless you are looking several turns ahead and can that if i don’t do something this turn i will surely lose at least 2 moves from now.  as i understand it, you have to take 2 of 3 of kwangtung, kiangsu, and hawaii and hold them for a full turn.  as i see it, you cannot get enough to either chinese territory certainly this round, where i cannot efficiently take back.

ie europe, you must take volgo and hold it for a full round.  i also do not see this occurring in the next two rounds.

at this point, i would just move the uk in china….  am i staring at imminent defeat and looking straight through it??

[boldfresh]

obviously you are referring to how i’m handling china and taking all air out of the pacific i guess.

[boldfresh]

with as much as you can get to china and hawaii in a matter of 2 turns, i guess i probably cannot afford to exit the pacific with all the USA air.  i will have to run some major calcs i guess…  :|

[boldfresh]

i also can’t afford this hit rate on my usa bombers!!! they are dropping like flies!  :lol:

[boldfresh]

alright, i agree china is a mess - i do not play china well, and the pacific is often my weakness.  i will consolidate the chinese in kiangsi.

[boldfresh]

go ahead - if i still don’t see it, then just kill me.  gonna leave 12 ftrs west and shuffle china up.

i guess the bulk of my chinese need to remain in kiangsi until the japanese get so huge then can kill this china stack… crazy stuff.
