G40 A.39 builder_chris2(allies) vs seththenewb(axis)

i’m not certain of the order of loss you would like for your italian fleet verse my USA attack so i attached the map for you to roll the combat or to give me an order of loss.

if you roll it, i want my loss to be this:
carrier
sub
destroyers
fighters…keeping my tactical as long as its paired with a fighter.

Might have an edit .  …  subs can cross the strait of gibraltar even if it’s in enemy hands yes? If so, I’d like to place one of those subs into sz93

yes.  you can edit on jap turn.

@seththenewb:

Oh and I missed my fighter in tobruk moving to S. Italy. You can do both edits on Russia’s turn if subs can pass through that strait, otherwise I can do it on Japan’s turn. Have you been tracking the money? Here are the end of round numbers thanks to the history tool.

Allies: 125

Granted there will be some fluctuation during the rounds as territories are traded or say an ally liberates a territory and that power hasn’t collected on it yet. I didn’t want to go back country by country to get those totals. But I think the axis are sitting pretty; no allied fleet threatening europe, russia cocooned in moscow albeit with a lot of air power, and Japan is regaining it’s stride. Japan’s going to start feeling the pressure soon but China and UK Pac are non ententities and have near parity with US. Anzac’s spending in the middle east which is something I haven’t seen before. So that’s helped against Germany/Italy but hurt you in the pacific theater.

its a hard fight and i am enjoying it no doubt but i dont know if i can pull out a win against you, this is a way tuff strategy you have!

ooops…i dint hit send to server.  here is the map after russia 8. sorry

@seththenewb:

Does this mean you’re now a proponent of a round 1 DOW? We can get another game going after this if you want another crack at this strat now that you know more of what to expect or we can flip the tables and make me play against my own/similar strat.

I like it because it gets into the action right away. Games develop their own inertia and if you start building up, oftentimes you and your opponent will become locked into an arms race. I’d rather have a footrace with fewer units. Fewer units encourages more attacks because the odds can quickly shift in your favor. They shifted against me when I tried cracking Russia and they shifted right back after volgo held. I’d rather try a 30% battle when there’s maybe half a dozen total units then a 30% battle when each side has 30+ units.

i’m still on the fence about this strategy, i think there are a few things i could have done differntly to shut down your plan, and a few things i did, while they helped to buy me some time, they ultimately back fired on me (like USA in Korea).

but there are lots of things i like about it…more than i thought i would, and its WAY hard to deal with as the allies.  plus, yu cant beat the fact that round one ALL powers are in the war…takes away lots of the slow play that has come into it with the DOW issue.

@seththenewb:

We can get another game going after this if you want….

The addict in me would LOVE to start another game after this, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea for me.

Axis and Allies is already (as bob said to you last game day) like crack cocaine to me; why else would I be able to play for 12+ hours straight on game days?  But playing online like this with you and gargantuan is really messing with me; I am constantly thinking about our games and obsessing over my next move or what it is you might do, etc, etc.  its worse than the trouble I experience trying to fall asleep after a game day, my mind wont shut off about it; I’ve been thinking about conceding in this game and with the one I have going with gar and stepping away from playing the game until next game day just to give myself a rest, I haven had a full nights sleep since we started this game!  Problem is, when i think about conceding I always give in because the crack addict in me is always asking…well…maybe you could still win…but if you stop in the middle of the game you will never know!  DAMN I’m such an AA junkie!!!
