@martin said in BM Martin +16 vs Majikforce:

@majikforce I think it is time to resign! Well played - thank you for the game!

I managed to keep Japan small, but that wasn’t enough. Now, Germany will turn into an unstoppable monster. You played very well a Japan with only a few IPCs - annoying Russia, the US, ANZAC and the UK at the same time :grin: !

I should resist the temptation to make aggressive purchases with Russia, and I should play more decisive: If I decide (at all) to send a few units towards China to help, I should do it in round one or never, of course it will always remain being a very risky play.

Towards Germany and Italy, I didn’t really have a plan with the UK and the US. Maybe the UK should in general start in turn 2 to prepare for Germany going south of Caucasus. No matter if Moscow will fall or not, the Germans will stand in front of Persia sooner rather than later.

Good luck in the playoffs and in your next games! Maybe you want to test my skills with the Axis, in a few weeks.

GG! I agree you sent too many Russian assets to attack Japan. You did do a good job of keeping Japan in check but at the cost of losing Moscow too easily for Germany. When Moscow is about to fall I think it is much more effective to vacate the land with your stack and march around just being a pest for as long as a possible. It makes it much more difficult for Germany to account for than just eradicating Russian troops.
