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

[wheatbeer]

I’ve only ever played the Allies a dozen times, so I can’t make a fully qualified judgement.

I think with a larger bid the Allies would certainly be workable. But I haven’t dialed in what I need yet.

Not as suspenseful rolls there as Moscow.

[Cow]

Yeah you hold the vcs for a round, I do not get an attack. GG

[Cow]

I would need one more round.

Maybe I went overboard sending everything to the atlantic lol.

[boldfresh]

well played wheat

[Cow]

Yeah I do not think anyone should play the allies against me you or zhukov with anything less than 18.

In hindsight I should have done a balanced buy with usa from the get go. I just thought things would go better in Europe… then gibraltar happen… and the french attack sucked and yeah… lol.

Sad thing is you would get Russia eventually anyway.

[Cow]

18 bid is 1 inf new guinea, 1 inf egypt (lose that lose the game pretty much), what to do with 12… sub 98 and sub 91? I guess I could do that, but all that does is smooth over UK1 attacks.

Fighter scotland would throw lots of players into a hissy fit on G1 with a dd on 110… so good.

Bomber amur attack japan cruiser is amazing when it works out, because you land safely in kweichow after and it is so good.

Could do infantry yunnan, fighter Russia, get a nice 8 man defense for yunnan round 1. Turn J1 into a crap shoot.

[Cow]

I guess I got to just accept Russia is going to fall every game… I need to have the pacific situation handled by then and enough dudes on Egypt to thwart a possible japan crazy thing. That is generally how everyone else does it and they always lose… sad thing is that is the best the allies can do :\  Maybe get a foothold in Korea then fly fighters with usa to Russia.

Eh oh well. Things to think about.

I am like you, I do not lose with the axis so it is hard to figure out what the allies can do about it LOL.

[wheatbeer]

Fighter scotland is smart, just wish it left room for more than 1 or 2 further units.

[Cow]

I think I will have to do with that. I do like scrambling against germany because trading air units with germany reduces the triple threat 1 german air unit has.
