@simon33 What do you mean? You wanted to land planes there and forgot?

@martin

This combo is strong, not only due to colours, but because you really need to watch the whole Pacific - there is no safe place anymore for Japanese.

But, we could create a thread with “nasty but legal tactics”, as you called it, @gamerman01.

One that really made me angry was the fighter attack “over” the wall of ships. Let me explain. Germans were essentially locked in the Mediteranean, with my strong US fleet at Gibraltar. They had fighter on the carrier just inside Pillars of Heracles, launched the attack of a single sub to the whole US fleet of 20 ships, and on basis of that, were able to launch the fighter to sink 10 US transports, 3 sea zones away, at West Indies

Something like this:

The explanation was that the sub had tried to break through and if it would have succeeded (?!), the carrier could go through and take the fighter. I was seeing it as sending to a suicide mission - I was wrong obviously.

@666 This is getting difficult, everywhere You are a very good player, putting units just where they have to be. Italians have to run away. Mare Nostrum? Seems not… Maybe they can help with getting back Atlantic wall though?

I will try to make it fun for few more turns, maybe you make a mistake, somewhere, somehow… If not, I will try to prepare better for a next match.

@gamerman01 Yes, I understand and agree. I think these are better suited for Pacific, because US fleet does not need to be offensive most of the time. At least not offensive in big battles, they can pick Japanese smaller groups around. When defending, Allied fighters will still shoot.

@666 I am surrendering this one. Well played!

For a moment, it seemed I will be able to do something, but Germans were bogged too long in Russia, you surrendered territories, but just enough so I don’t get too much advantage too quickly.

Japan could not deal with overwhelming naval force in Pacific unfortunately, it had to show on land. In Mediterranean, you played just as you should, UK planes were always in range of everything man It was frustrating at times.

Congratulations, I would love to play you again if you found this fun?

@simon33 Do you want to turn around, you take Axis with +8?

@flyingbadger I think transports can’t be defended from the carrier (it says “warships”, which transport is not)

@flyingbadger What a carnage! Could be the biggest navy battle I fought.

3 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 7 bombers and 1 fighter.

@FlyingBadger wins, after 30 rounds and some big battles. Well played!

@flyingbadger No, its fine, don’t worry, we are having a happy game.

Scramble from UK?

@simon33

No J1 attack this time either.

@aagamerz13

@aagamerz13

It is not possible to scramble to 113, because there are no surface warships.

@simon33

#2 G1.tsvg

@aagamerz13

I was trying with J1 attacks for some time and it worked very well actually for the Pacific, but the continent was the problem, as Chinese always became too strong, usually coming to income of 16-20 IPCs while I was dealing with Americans at the sea. It did help Germans, as US had to focus on Pacific, but I am not sure that was enough. Maybe if I was better with Germans to win there, it would have worked better.

Now, as you have noticed in last 2 games, it is J2 or J3 attacks.

#3 J1.tsvg

@aagamerz13

Well, I decided to retreat and save my battleship.

#3 G1.tsvg

@simon33

Bid went to 2 Italian art in Africa and 2 spared IPCs for Japan, to be able to purchase a marine in round 1.

Scrambles?

#2 g1 scramble.tsvg

This time with a higher (generous) bid for Axis?
