[gamerman01]

OK, just to be clear, I said I didn’t think the dice turned on you too much when we were at the point of me losing my artillery in Egypt.  After that, everything was bad for you.  Didn’t want to be misunderstood on that

[gamerman01]

Whoa, I don’t have a destroyer in range of 91?  Ouch

No it’s fine.
I was aware of that, that you didn’t know at the moment what really went on.
But found it amusing ironic that the dice turned on me.
Maybe i should delete marti and reinstall it.

Remember what i said in the beginning about egypt??
Next season is going to be my season!
I don’t find to many errors on my play to let me say “rethink your strategy”,
But to overpower my attacks to make sure I will win these Battles.

Whew!

That’s awesome - not enough players have your good sense of humor

Remember what i said in the beginning about egypt??

No.  Did you say you always get poor luck attacking Egypt?  I have a history of getting bombers shot down by AA over Egypt, but lately that’s changing.  Now it’s London.  Well, except that I only lost like 1/9 taking London from Maroon.  Maybe not.

Next season is going to be my season!

Yeeha!  All games recorded after 10/31.  So after this one  :-D

I don’t find to many errors on my play to let me say “rethink your strategy”,
But to overpower my attacks to make sure I will win these Battles.

It’s getting in your head!  Try to forget the losses and dicings in the past - I know that’s hard - but you don’t wanna get gunshy!

I think we can call it.
Don’t see where I can turn arround this game.
I would be interested in your overall opinion and if you agree that the game is a allied victory, then I will go ahead and post it in the game result Forum Gamerman01.
I had fun and learned new things.

The Med and the Pacific had been some nice classrooms for me.
Egypt, I don’t know what else I can do except waiting for more luck to come.
I mean, after all, you gave me a lot of time and room to prep. my attack and still, Oh Boy!
autsch, ding and dent, collateral disaster…. :-D

[gamerman01]

Yes, is a good time to call it, I agree!  I need to eat now, but will be happy to give you some comments.  Was a blast, thanks for squeezing it all in, in October!

I think you should be able to beat tier 3’s and 4’s and possibly 2’s, AeV.  I mean, just playing as well as you did against me.  I guess I played 2 mid tier-2’s recently and they both fared a little better than you, but not much better.

The J2 in China killed you.  Like I already said, you probably would have got away with it against a lesser player - I think most would have attacked Yunnan to get the NO and not tried attacking your stack on Kwe.  But I made the right move and attacked the stack with everything and I got good luck.  That combination there was the killer.

Japanese forward ground units in the first several rounds of the game are GOLD.  The Allies should as a general rule be willing to take risky and desperate shots against all Japanese ground units on the fronts - in China and on islands.  So one of the biggest lessons from this game I think is to keep being aggressive with Japan like you were, but be a little more careful not to give the Allies a shot at you.  <50% odds of the Allies on your stack might not be acceptable.  The conventional wisdom of “as long as they lose more than me” doesn’t work so well in some situations in G40, and this is one of the best examples of that.

I had a 57% with an expected -6.68 TUV swing.  A lot of players wouldn’t attack there, but like I said it was the right move.  Your aggressive move to Kwe forced me to attack, because to stand aside is to let Japan split the Allies in half and drive for India or mop up China.

I hope you don’t feel like I’m beating you over the head with it, but in my opinion that was single most critical decision of this game.  I got great luck there too, and that really hurt you (although you took Kwe back, killing the 5 Chinese survivors with zero casualties to Japan), but even if I didn’t get great luck, it would have weakened Japan’s stack sufficiently to really protect India for quite awhile.
