Here’s the game file. It looks like play-by-forum is still broken in TripleA. Since this is friendly, I didn’t bother with a dice server so feel free to use the built-in dice roller. Upload the save file when you’re done.

those subs hit with a vengeance. Dont feel bad about your win, this won is also above average.

Two things:
Pls consider three US figs in Norway, not in Normandy.
Pls look at casualty selection in Syria if it meets your approval. -
Got it on the US fighters. No issue on the OOL.
Can’t believe I missed that amphib into Syria and the Subs to hit Carolines at the same time. Both are eminently avoidable, and between the 2 it wipes out a large part of the Java Sea win.
Not sure I’m going to go on here. Will sleep on it and let you know.
-
Syria only possible because my two French inf beat your two TJ guards last round. More German air is all you could have done.
-
I missed that you could offload a TT there…just dumb. I either could have let you use your good luck with the Fr Infs to kill my Tk, or I could have brought enough air from Germany to really defend it. I, of course, did neither.
So, with that I will resign this one and congratulate you on a game well played. Even despite the win the Java Sea, my stupidity at the Carolines will prevent Japan from really threatening the US. With full focus on Germany, you’ll be able to sqeeze me in the 2-front war.
Despite your usual protestations, I think it was basically mistake free game from you. And after 2 thrashings, I think it will be a long time before I try a G1 DOW again!
I’m going to go down to a single game for a while (sleep schedule has gone off track lately…), and I think I need that to be a league game to be sure I get to 8. But when life returns more back to normal, would love to continue this series - but with a new bid or at least a new opener!
-
kind of you to say, and no real protest. I think I did ok. I really dont know how to do a G1 DOW myself, but at least the second time I did not force you to use it :-)
There must be some advantages to it, though.
No problem with new games, go for League. You surely will qualify. One game at a time is wise, I think. Just let me know.
-
You didn’t force me either time…after having it used against me effectively, I wanted to try. But must not be a fit…
