L22 PtV max334 (Axis+7) vs FlyingBadger (Allies)

I assumed no scramble by Japan or Germany, obviously your choice to redo, reroll, etc…
Forgot to retreat the Chinese fighter which fortunately didn’t then die :sweat:

Sorry, it’s been a short and busy week. I planned a move yesterday, just want to check it through again, hopefully post it later.

It’s unlikely to be the most devasting series of of possible moves, but I hope I’ve kept the pressure on.

@max334 It’s my job to make careless mistakes, stay in your lane!

Those mistakes seem uncharacteristic with the rest of your play. Maybe the unusual situation of an airbase on Morocco didn’t help (which was a bit of a gamble and maybe not the best play but seems to have paid off so far).

Can Axis even win this game (PTV) without taking any capitals?

There is a way, the 13 VC global victory. The European Axis take France, Leningrad, Ukraine and Egypt. Japan takes Hong Kong, Malaya, Manilla and Hawaii.

I think I see why you played defensively for the first few rounds. If the Allies hold onto all their capitals, I’m thinking its near impossible to beat them.

In the current round of our game the Allies have an income advantage of +13, but it wouldn’t take much for that to be different, even holding all the Allied capitals. Then the Axis have the economic advantage and the Allies no longer have time to build up.

I’ve certainaly lost plenty of PtV games against the Axis whilst, initially at least, retaining my capitals:

• Germany taking Leningrad and pushing through Ukraine and taking Stalingrad and going into the Caucsasus takes income from Russia and hits a lot of German objectives.
• Italy hitting multiple objectives in the Med.
• Japan doing pretty much what you are doing in out game.

I just fight the British way. We like our wars to last a 100 years and our cricket games to last 5 days.

I’m looking back in history and those ftrs in Morocco where nearly completely covered by all the stuff there.

I’ve done that before. If you click on the Territory tab, click and hold the left mouse button on the territory you want to check and ‘drag’ and release the mouse over the Territory panel it will let you see what’s in there.

Abandoning Gibralter was also a mistake. My thinking was that you didnt need it because you had the harbor and air field in Morocco.

I think you were in a tricky spot, it would have been very expensive to keep hold of but in Allied hands the door is open into the Med.

I’m full of cold but think I know what I needed to do with ANZAC and France so hopefully not too much to get wrong.
