@wheatbeer said in wheatbeer (Axis) vs JDOW (Allies +20) BM3 rematch:
I didn’t intend to attack the UK sub (much less without submerge orders) so I restored it
Sure, np!

@wheatbeer said in wheatbeer (Axis) vs JDOW (Allies +20) BM3 rematch:
Also, I really need to relearn the Axis I think … I used to favor economy-building strategies for Axis, but BM gives the Allies a lot more income than I remember.
Also, people can almost foolproof defending Cairo. I miss those old strats.
I can tell you for sure, both, economy-building strategies and blitzing to Cairo is still possible in BM. But it requires more dedication, that is true.
And the Allies have to work to materialize on the potential extra income. Some IPCs are just gifted, especially for Russia, but US and UK must work for their objectives:)
-
Also, Japan and Germany also get some IPC either for free (iwo/oki) or at low effert (Cyprus for Germany)

Happy Thanksgiving btw:)
-
Thanks, if I recall correctly, you’re German, so happy Thursday :)
(Unless you’re an expat living in the states, in which case happy Thanksgiving you as well)
-
Haha, you are absolutely right. In Germany, today is a normal Thursday :)

Sorry for the delay, I’ll try to do this tomorrow or the following day.

Everything okay with Mussolini? :-)

Hey Wheatbeer, any update?
-
Sorry for the slow play … couldn’t make up my mind when I first looked at the map.
I don’t really see any way for the Axis to break out of the Allied strangle in either theatre. Are you seeing it any different? (if not, I should probably surrender)
I am guessing I need to play a lot more BM3 before I really understand how the early game works now.
-
I think part of the problem, is that I tend to play Axis reactively … trying to keep multiple options open and waiting for an Allied mistake. And that’s probably never going to work against you :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
-
Well, I am comfortable with my position and I agree that the Axis have a hard time from here. I sometimes underestimated the power of the Axis in the long run and had games I was too confident with my Allied position and then got surprised by the power of Axis in the midgame.
To answer your question: It would probably not entirely ridiculous to resign at this point but on the other hand, this would be a rather early time point if I compare this with other games I played. Resigning now would be a very little surprise and I would not have expected it at this point.
-
Not looking at the board so perhaps it is hopeless but at the same time it is very early.
If axis are behind and with JDOW being a strong player, one thing you can do is take advantage of the fact that he probably feels very comfortable in his position and as such is less likely to take any risky attacks (risky means differnt things in different situations). This works much better as allies, but still as axis you could play more aggressively. That doesnt have to mean taking hopeless battles, but instead you can invite the allies to take chances. Instead of defending positions to say a 10% threshold, you can try defending them to 70% or even worse (meaning JDOW has 70% odds) and force JDOW to take a risk. JDOW will probably have to defend things to a very high degree so as not to give you an out.
I doubt in normal situations you would give allies 70-80% odds at Berlin, but if you are so far behind that you are considering resigning already, then you should try it. JDOW might not be willing to take even an 80% shot at berlin if the thinks that 20% chance of disaster could bring the axis back. So you might find that you can be agressive in a different way and force your opponent to either let you get away with it or take some risk that could give you an out. Do that enough and you might start to make something happen. On the flip side, he will probably overdefend things so as not to give you a chance to let dice flip the script.
And if you give him 80% at berlin and he jumps on it and wins then you are in the same position you would be if you just resign.
Not sure I said this very well.
