What the heck is the American flag on Marcus? You might want to investigate that as he could sneak men and bombers into it. It's a long supply line but he can easily sneak single AK's in there and slowly build the base.

I think this game was too far gone for a new Allied player. I think even a veteran would have a hard time coming back here given the Japanese position and the desperate position of the Chinese and Australians. I am surprised you havent played Allies in 20 years given the Allies are a juggernaut later in the war and would be fun to play. Even versus a player, the Allies can come back in the game, but we rarely get to see it given the Japanese OR Allied side always surrenders in 1942. That may be the biggest downside of playing and watching this game as few players are evenly matched enough to give us a good game that goes into 1943.

If you haven't started yet - watch my match against asurob. He and I have been playing each other for a decade off on and on and are fairly evenly matched. I definitely expect that game to go into 44 before he crushes me... unless I make a fatal mistake.

I am extremely interested how you manage to keep your Chinese units with 2000AV alive until September in these forward bases under seige.bombardment for literally 6 months. I could have sworn you had supply in the red a long time ago and not sure how your units still maintain cohesion and AV. The Bataan garrison usually collapses after 3-4 months in the Philippines to the same seige. Where are you getting supplies from given the whole rear is taken and the Burma Road is cut?

regarding the Zeros v B-26 Marauder at Tanna its a never fixed bug of the Game. Fighters attack 4E and Attack Bombers always from the front. in case of Attack Bombers they than fly directly into all the cannons the bombers have in the Nose and go destroyed. Nothing you can do about it except developing more durable fighetrs with armor.

@operationpigАй бұрын
Honestly IMO if Lodrik takes Australia, Xargun would be in a better position. It frees up 5 or so whole divisions for xargun to use as he pleases. And he doesn't have to worry about trying to free it up to gain those ap and ships back.
@XargunAEАй бұрын
Its not so much that losing Australia is a game breaker - more of a spirit breaker against me. I have had very few small successes and keep losing battle after battle, Part of my issue is my lack of understanding the Allied OOB and thus I have made a bunch of mistakes that can be undone. I am short on useful transports (APs, xAPs) that have a decent range and am low on CVs - only have 4 against his 8+. My air forces are in shambles due to not understanding the allied tricks to keep the better aircraft from leaving the theater. But my ground forces are in good shape - at least the US ones. Though I am surprised again and again how allied units just crumple against the Japanese attacks. Guessing the NZ and AUS troops are not as good as I thought they were.

Thanks for the after action report. You have a good number of troops in Hawaii which is good to retry Wake, but you do have to be careful that he hasn't moved KB north. You gave him warning with the failed attack. Are there no refineries in Australia to generate fuel locally, or do the troops just eat it all?
@XargunAEАй бұрын
Troops don't consume fuel. Ships and Industry consume fuel.
@RayrardАй бұрын
Not sure what happened with unloaded nothing at Wake but I guess it's practice and you didn't lose much. You would need at least a regiment to take that plus a marine force. The bombardments don't really destroy the Japanese dug in on these islands. Getting invasions right is essential for the Americans so hopefully you figure out the mechanic next time.

What does it matter how long you hold? Unless you plan on breaking the naval blockade you will just retreat eventually. All that changes is how he long he takes to replenish his men.

I dont understand how Xargun is the unluckiest player imaginable from his perspective, but it turns out to be a false alarm when desyncs are accounted for. He has gotten away with a lot. From the convoy that successfully escaped to Karachi a week ago, to the successful defense of Tennant Creek yesterday. I can see why xargun keeps complaining about the luck, from his perspective it is terrible, even if it isn't. I'll bet the Japanese sub didn't even sink the YP with how bad the desync is.

You should seriously check your ASW Vessel Captains. They awful at detecting and attacking Subs. I mean not the merchant PB, they will never be good for anything except adding escort vessel numbers but the dedicated ASW like DD, E or this PC PB at Mantok. Many of them have average and cautious Captains that are usless on this Vessels , you need Aggresive Captains with Naval Skill well beyond 80
