zappsweden Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Russia regains the connection between Moscow and Caucasus temporarily until new Axis forces run through. Russia makes a desperate run south towards Iraque but are easily stopped. In France, the Allies suffer defeat after defeat. Turkey also goes quite bad for the Russians. GAME IS OVER. ALLIES LOST. This game was an easy win for Axis. After a quick conquest of France, where the Axis forces denied Allied any opportunity of good counter-attack situations, the game was already tilted strongly towards the Axis.

zappsweden Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 SUMMARY Best of 2 games: Zappsweden vs Terif 0-2. [ January 12, 2003, 08:59 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Comments: Also, this game proved that there is no way of stopping a good Axis player from taking Vichy, Spain, Gibraltar and later on Iraque unless he makes mistakes. I did some mistakes: 1) I saved money for an UK HQ early on WITHOUT selling the bomber. He could break through my line without any UK corps behind stopping him. The HQ appeared when France already was doing bad. 2) I forgot 2 French corps in Africa when France surrendered. 3) I abandoned Brest too early because i could have delayed him and really got use of my UK air then. 4) My carriers were exposed and destroyed because I gambled on that he would not have much air in the same area. Overall, some medium mistakes but no blunders. He took Belgium without giving me an opportunity (the hex south of Belgium Capital) to counter attack him. The battle for France is pretty much about who does the first major attacks. A GREAT AXIS PLAYER DOES THE FIRST STRIKE AND PUT THE FRENCH ON THE DEFENSIVE. I am getting pretty annoyed at this game now because i know that the probable way to beat Terif is when being Axis. That means that even if I do win with Axis it only seems like i did not win since I am supposed to win as Axis.

Hueristic Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Well I feel it needs repeating. "Great DAR" (Dureing Action Report) Lol I throughly enjoyed this matchup of great players in a play by play situation. Now if only we had a VCR feature to watch the entire battle from start to finish. Imagine the archives! Actually it could be done But Hmmm I may think about this.

Try it if you want to even out the Axis advantage! In my game vs Heuristic, the bid landed on 130 MPP (my bid). Since he accepted the bid, he was Allies and with a starting bonus of 130 MPP for USA,UK and Russia EACH.I was curious why you left the French out of the bid? Is it because 130 MPP's for France as well as the other Major Powers was just too much of a handicap? If I had my choice, (in taking the Allied bid) I would dump Russia from the bid in exchange for France, simply because 130 MPP's are HUGE in Sept. 1939 compared to June 1941. I think Rambo's idea for bid/play balance is a good idea and I am just curious how it is being implemented. Thanks to everybody for helping make SC even more fun.
