Raiding France one last time I see, I don’t blame you.

[Soulblighter]

Yeah, but I just noticed that my tts are gone, which means I have no way to execute my plan. So I concede. There is no way I can get the final vcs in the pacific in time anymore. So I concede.

I should have gone for a different G1 buy.

What was your plan? Holding India and blocking Philippines?

Good game and fun too. What did you buy and what should you have bought G1?

[Soulblighter]

@Adam514:

I bought a submarine a destroyer and some artilleries, but that was a useless build. I realised later that I should have build 2 bombers and nothing else. Even if I wouldn’t have gone for a full bomber build. I find that if I hit Z106, Z91 and Z110, going for 2 more bombers, means the z111 fleet has less room to run. Iceland might work, but with at least 1 submarine and potentially 2 more from Z106 and 4 bombers the fleet can be killed.

Holding india was possible. I had low odds, but it was doable. I noticed later that I forgot putting a submarine in front of phily. Something I often do.

[Soulblighter]

Also japan needs to dow t1-t2. T3 is to late. Uk grows to much to fast.

[Adam514]

Yeah sub in Philippines is almost always worth it.

Indeed the cost for bombers isn’t enough for their usefulness, especially for Germany. Still, it’s always a pain hunting down 111 fleet.

Yeah India becomes a fortress.
