14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs JDOW (Allies +15)

[JDOW]

Yeah, the sz97 OOL choice in that battle is always a very tough one. After the last time I decided for Carrier, Fig, Fig, this time I decide:

Tip Carrier, Lose Destroyer + Fighter

[JDOW]

Well, in case you haven’t run it yet I changed my mind:

Tip carrier and lose 2 Fighters please.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

I did spoil the surprise  :lol:

Sea Lion isn’t my favorite … but after seeing Tobruk crushed, my favored Cairo-first strategy seemed like more trouble that it was worth.

[JDOW]

Well played by the Axis so far. Russians did not dare to stack EP against a 10 TT build of the Germans. This is a big deal and probably a new way to do the sea lion. And I am not sure whether the Russians just put their units at stake in order to provoke a fake sea lion. I say that usually fake sea lion is almost always bad. However in this case the Germans could kill A LOT of Russians which might more than compensate for the investment of 10 TTs.

Looks to me at least certainly sophisticated compared to the sea lion you played against Gamerman. Let’s see how the Russians can annoy the Germany in the upcoming rounds:)

Thanks. I am not 100% sure whether the Soviets benefit more from calling Germany’s “bluff” or not. My gut says that it pays to be patient rather than let Germany smash EP.
