14L G40 MrRoboto (Axis) vs Balladeer (Allies+10)

[MrRoboto]

@Balladeer:

That’s not good! Got any advice for a next game that I might play as allies? (Other than using the battle calculator, which I ussually do, but forgot in Russia)?

If Japan really wants to get India, it’s impossible to deny it. It can happen even faster (and imagine if I had rolled averagely in Burma 2 rounds ago).

In my opinion, USA needs to invest heavily in the Pacific early on (first 3-4 rounds, I usually build Pacific only) to overcome Japan.

[MrRoboto]

btw it is not allowed to leave a unit behind on a transport, if you’re doing an amphibious assault. I will edit that (in Korea)

Oh, that is in the Triple A problems file indeed, hard to remember them all!

[Balladeer]

Assumed no suicide attacks at Phillipines, can change if you want.

As to the American units in the Pacific, do you go purely destroyer / carrier / fighters, or do you also add in extra transports to annoy the Japanese?

I add transports. If you’re not threatening the Islands or the coast, the Japanese fleet can just retreat (if that’s even necessary)

[Balladeer]

Well, Russia gambled and lost, I’m willing to resign, if you are willing to accept ;-)

Well played, I learned a lot! If you want we can play another game?

[MrRoboto]

Yeah the game was lost even before that battle, I would think.

We can play another game.
