XDAP2 R3 - Declaration of WEAK vs Team GARL (Allies +20)

[JDOW]

Sorry Bold. This was another reason I refused to take over. I would need to start from scratch to see where we are and where all infos and rules are located.

So I am not of any help in this matter :-(

[Karl7]

@JDOW:

You could brought all 5 figs + bomber in. those at Egypt were on the US carrier which could have brought them closer. What you actually did.

Well, so it goes. As I say, the battle calc gave you a very decisive victory even with all in.  So, things turned out better than if we had gone all in I guess given you can never count on the dice helping you.

Bold, I have no idea where the tourney stands.  I can ask Garg.

[Karl7]

what the what here?

I am on my own now, so… Wheat’s move?

[JDOW]

Wheat was buys the recent days. Move coming soon.

[wheatbeer]

Karl, would you be opposed to JDOW doing this Japanese turn (if he’s willing) … that would be fastest.

[JDOW]

We discussed the map already, we just had no time to fine tune it together.

So I will just proceed for this turn to keep this going.

blah, you guys are toying with me.

This game is OVER!  Ha… I think it’s been over for awhile actually.  Keeping India offensive which was an error here.  Turtle was the way to go.  Also invading the neutrals I don’t think helped us in the end.

it so rarely does…

[boldfresh]

welcome to the pits karl!

[JDOW]

Thanks Karl. Good game! Very intense.
My thoughts: i think india was not the problem and you dient really play it offensive. I personally do not like to turtle with india. However your anti-german approach gave japan lots of freedom so it was just a matter of time until india falls.
I rather think the russians overstretched their capacities and operated quite spewy with their units. That allowed to set up for an almost 100% attack on moscow despite 16 or so allied air to supporr. I think if you keep russia safer by more conservative russian play the game would have stayed competitive.

I personally liked the neutral crush. Usually i think its bad if the 8 turkish fall into axis hands but i think it gave uk lots of power. Garg even got unlucks at argentinia. But morenimportant: spain allowed the usa to keep germans busy at minimal effort.

In general i found your strategy inspiring except the russian play. I think with some tweaks i might take this into my reservoir.

Cheers
Tobias

Sorry for smartphone-caused typos.
