L14-15 JWW v Axis Dominion (allies +15)

@axis-dominion:

I’m curious, do you normally like to go sea lion?

Well for an axis win in Europe, imo, you have to get and hold either egy or London….so one or another is a must imo, in this game, with the way things were working out, sea lion, seemed to be my best option.

This game seemed to go back and forth between the pacific looking better for me then europe, then the pacific, etc… :lol:, I actually like my position in both theaters right now but that can change quick!

[axis-dominion]

Personally I have had only success against sea lions, and I love how they make the game quite different. In this game, unfortunately, besides getting super unlucky in the London battle, I blundered in the pacific early on…which has placed enormous pressure on the allies that normally I wouldn’t have in a sea lion situation. I play remotely from my small iPhone screen a lot and, well, sometimes I miss critical things lol

Now I’m just trying to make the best of things.

You perfectly evade my interceptors and get exactly what you need to disable my airbase….I can’t win against this kind of luck in all the important battles.

I had to take that risk…it made perfect sense. it was more important that I had that opportunity. I removed one of your usa fgt’s but you can swap it out with the russian?

[axis-dominion]

I noticed against certain players my aa just doesn’t work. You’re one of them and MrRoboto is the other. Against other players I seem to have much better luck but my dice have struggled against you two. I bet if we were to play again I’d experience the same problem.
