USA Crush

curious, why on turn 3 wasn’t the US able to build 50 IPCs worth of ground units to defend itself?  16 guys should’ve been plenty to hold EUS.

Germany had only 1/2 trn round 2 to attack US?

Did Russia steamroll Germany?

Sounds like bad play from the US player.

Japan TOOK Hawaii on J1?  How?  Japan can attack with 1 transport against 2 inf and 2 fighters.

The rest just seems… foolish on the part of the U.S.  With a J1 they should have had plenty of resources for 3 full turns to mount a defense, or even sink whatever the Germans had sitting in the middle of the Atlantic, at most a battleship, cruiser, and carrier with 2 fighters (not even at SZ 91 with help from the Italians?).

Doubt. This seems like horrendous reaction from the US player. At war on turn 1 the US easily would have built more than enough units to hold just on the basis of putting them in transports to send out. How did Hawaii possibly fall J1 without any bombard? Did USA scramble fighters to defend the fleet instead of to defend the land from the invasion? There are so many wrong things going on here that I’m just left in confusion.

This guy is starting to really ratchet up the troll job.

That USA crush thing is nothing compared with my last match.  I tricked the opponent to go to another house! Since he wasn’t around, I could make his Allies do really stupid stuff.  The US joined forces with ANZAC in the southern seas.  Meanwhile the Russian stacks headed to S. Africa to enjoy some rest and relaxation.  The Axis managed a miraculous victory on turn 3.  Not a single unit was lost in this pristine example of total global domination.  When my friend finally showed up a couple hours later, I was grinning from ear-to-ear that I crushed him so easily.  I taunted him repeatedly.
What a loser noob!  I am going to post it all over the internet that I am awesome and he is a loser noob.  Loser noob, loser noob.  /s

Should we call that a Sneaky Arthur?

US can only be captured by a poor US player, there is no way in early turns for Axis to stomp USA.

Can someone tell me how I have anything to do with this?  I must admit that Roosevelt and I never got along, but I would never advocate having a reign of tyranny descend upon those stupid Americans.

Seeing as you’re the only major allied power to surrender, take the hint.

They could have scrambled against japan to defend the fleet. Maby he thought i could win the naval battle with the scrambles ( if japan went in weakish )
But yes looks like pretty strange USA play, japan putting its fleet that far out is at a huge risk

I’m with Churchill on this one, if Germany wants to try to land on my homeland, I welcome the attempted. I can’t image how foolish it would be. Same with US, if I think German transports with good numbers could reach US, I will just pump out infantry for a turn.

In my last game France took Berlin on F8. It was wild, but nothing like the game before that when Italy took Sydney on I7. We never talk about the Italian Pacific can-opener, it’s a real game changer.

I once had a game where spain invaded france then fought off the germans only to be beatem by a suprise dow by switzerland.

Then tasmania succeeded from australia and declared war on every single player and won using only a stick of celery.

I have to admit, my noob ass had this one trick pony happen to me too. I even posted about it because I thought rules were broken.

I need to know how Italy got a fleet and army to ANZAC.

Utter determination. Italy was seeking retaliation because our game before that ANZAC sacked Rome on turn 9.

That doesn’t explain how Italy got a fleet through UK territory and escort it’s army to ANZAC without it being destroyed.

You guys should be more concerned about how the Russians sacked Tokyo game before that.
