And for the record for americas turn, the sea battle in sz 44 is automatic as first battle by triple A, chosen automatically by triple a before (any other battle) the landing in aleutian……

@oysteilo:

And for the record for americas turn, the sea battle in sz 44 is automatic as first battle by triple A, chosen automatically by triple a before (any other battle) the landing in aleutian……

This auto-rolling is really annoying. It does not add any value. It is totally acceptable to click and choose each battle manually.

Okey. Obviously I am not going to make you play out this game if you don’t want to. Things happen so no worries. If you want this game to have a silent death it is your choice!

Ok, I am fine with a slow pace, I am also fine with calling it a draw. Either way is ok

@Gamerman01:

I would like a draw, yes, thank you.

Good game, well played, and thanks for all the understanding and kindness!

OK, a draw is fine then!

as always I am interested in any feedback on what I did well/not so well. Obviously I have had kind dice most of the game, sure that helps, but right now I feel I have a pretty solid stand. I was somewhat worried you might have attacked my fleet of queensland/landing in queensland this past round, but at the end of the day your odds are not great, but also not terrible. It would have been a risky move and either outcome would probably have decided the game. I realized too late I had overextended a little bit.

It was also cool of you to let me re-do the blocking around London a couple of rounds ago

I also feel this game is kind of weired because America has “no” units on either side in round 8

Hey Oysteilo, because you were asking, one feedback from my side:

You buy way too many DDs and are way to spewy with them saccing them as blockers. In many occasions even when you do not had to block at all.

I recommend to keep the amount of DDs limited. Of course you need the potential to block and you need to be able to chase subs down and you need some cannon fodder to protect your transports. But often fighters, transports and subs are the better investment. Fighters are way more versatile and can fight (and defend) on land and sea and can scramble, transports allow you to take islands and making amphibious assaults which is crucial and subs can do convoy, cannot be attacked by air only and are cheaper than DDs.
