Allied plans are always dictated by what the Axis plans are. The Allies have to build for every possibility the Axis can concentrate on one strategy. Instead of offering advice let us learn by ourselves. You can have some honor in victory without humilating your opponents. We do not have the advantage of hindsight. You will not always have the perfect counter to everything that we build or dont build.
Well if you think your plans are dictated to by the Axis your thinking of this game is all wrong in my opinion. When ive played allies in the past im not to concerned with what the Axis do. I stick to the basics, defend the UK 1st every thing else is secondary and of little importance to the final outcome of the war.
Im not humilating anyone, but every time you claim it was a lack of knowledge on the game or becuase you lost your airpower and so on, I will come out and make a reply.
Let me ask you a question. Do you honestly think in 1940 that Churchill would have allowd 20 divisions to be deployed from the UK to gibralter which would weaken the UKs defence. There is always the risk in war that those forces would be lost no matter if you loaded then onto ships or not. Its alog way back to the UK from gibralter and I had two large fleets nearby of which one you fought, the 2nd fleet was unused.
In my opinion your mistake was not your lack of knowledge about the loading of troops, but that you weakened your defences of the UK to such an extent to hold gibralter. This was a critical mistake.
Once again like the air you lost at Alexandria that was no ones fault but yours. you had plenty of air fields in the region why keep them at the airfield where the battle is. I knew I would win that battle in daylight hours. It was all your way but it was night time and I still had an umber of tanks with org you only had a few infantry so once day light broke I think it took 3 hours and I won the battle. Due to the battle taking so long my tanks arrived instantly. I did not know you had planes based there and did not see them vanish as I was to busy. Had you not informed me, I would have assumed you still had the air in the region. That says something for keeping your trap shut, as I would have acted like you still had them as I knew no better. Oce you told me well I knew then I could operate more freely.
This is all old news anyway. We have dicussed it all befor. Learn from it. I just hope gunny dosnt make similar mistakes.
P.S we never planned last game to invade you at all. That was just a bonus once we sunk your fleet and you had so many forces in the middle east. I knew you couldnt have much left elsewhere and had to be weaker in the UK. Thats why me and munster massed our forces to invade the UK, to attack you were your weakest. I wasnt going to waste forces trying to get across the suez where you were strongest, I was going to make you pay for deploying so much away from your homeland. Thats the only reason we went for your home island, we never planned for that.
