@jim010 I moved 2 russian infantry into Belo and the russian sub next to France, but I had already clicked done, so I had to edit those moves.

@gamerman01 said in L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2:
I’m also not asking to move the bomber to a different place from Gibraltar, although that’s a good position for it anyway. :hushed:
Please say if you don’t think this is fair.What I mean is, the bomber effectively did nothing during the turn, when it could have supported battles in the Med or could have moved somewhere else.

@gamerman01 Yes sure :)

@gamerman01 Yup true!

That is an excellent G13
Alright, this is a tough call, but I’m going to resign now.
It’s hard to do that when I have so much material and several important bastions that I think I can hold for some time, but your extremely defensive and methodical strategy with virtually no over-sights means I will not be able to win.
We both know I have to take something back and hold it to have a chance. You’re too patient to take any meaningful chances, it just takes me tons of effort and you don’t bite because you don’t have to. This is what the planes do for you, and why you buy them - you like the strategy of taking what you need and protecting the gains. You don’t need to take Moscow or India fast, you just get enough income and a circle you can protect, and wait to starve them out.
Now I know your style. I’ve never seen it before. I am very experienced in stopping fast and aggressive Axis - a large portion of my experience is from playing a single person who always tried that, and also was always looking for gimmicks and surprises - it’s what he loved about the game. LOL goes to show why you should scout out your opponent if you know he’s really good. Eh, I don’t have the patience for that.
GOOD GAME, WELL PLAYED!
I’d be interested in an instant re-match, but it’s time to play Me1945 for my first semi-final since 2017… which was against Me1945. And I lost in 7 rounds.

Glancing back again at UK1, I notice a few more things going on with that ill-fated attack on 95. Although I’m not in the situation anymore, I see
Attack on 95 with no losses, carrier has to go to 93. Now I really don’t want Vichy, so reinforce South France with INF/AA as well as Normandy (so the French fleet doesn’t disappear)
For some reason I didn’t hit Ethiopia with 4 ground, cruiser, so those 3 units come up to surround Egypt. Of course, the 2 planes on the carrier in 93 get destroyed by the Germans and couldn’t fly to Egypt. Only the tac and the bomber on North Africa could, but with +3 Italians from the South and a transport out of the picture, it wasn’t enough.
Round one is critical!
Thanks for the game!
-
@gamerman01 Thank you!
Glad to hear I managed to beat you here. Much to thank the earlier rounds of course.
You are right, especially playing Germany. I have been in situations where I take Moscow quite early but surrender the west, may it be Normandy, Norway and thus not managed to get the win.
I am surprised though when you say it’s the first the you encounter it. I thought it somehow played into every decent/good player’s main strategy unless there is a need to take a risk somewhere at the right time?
Thanks and always fun playing you!
Let’s do that re-match later instead?
-
@gamerman01 I know! I hate first rounds :D
Sometimes a game is literally decided during G1 :face_with_rolling_eyes:
-
@gamerman01 I’ll follow you in the continuation of the play-off :)
-
Thanks and thanks!
Sure we’ll rematch later, and I’ll probably have forgotten what you do, by then.Maybe after this game I learn to play more “maturely” (patiently) with Me1945. But I doubt it.
