I loved Q Ball v Cuttlefish.

After all my luck in PZB v Andy Mac 1 I was dues some bad luck in this one but I then compounded it with some bad play later on and he took me to the cleaners.

Looking at the Sout Australia gamble I should have went for it when his carriers were pulling back or let him get ashore and tangled up in covering a landing so far from home.

I did neither and he got away - ah well !!!

I re read this thread the other day (bored on a train)

I think I was more than a little slapdash and maybe a little too un cor ordinated

To paraphrase an old joke "I used all the rightassets just not necessarily in the right order"

I think the new low light was my attack in SDEI I never expected a land based counterattack and had simply not prepared enough for it and leaving radar equipped base forces behind - doh !!!!

But there were more than a few low lights for me in this one

On reflection I think less bad luck and more poor play !!! [:D][:D][:D]

Andy,

A classic. The game has evolved a fair amount, largely based upon this AAR. You guys found a lot of items.

"HI" to PzB if you run across him ...

ORIGINAL: Andy Mac

Something else to think about guys the scale of this game is really Div/Bde there are a lot of Bns scattered about at start for the allies which are usefull garrison but a Bn of Inf v a Regt will lose more often than not.

Take a long hard look at what you have in Australia and India - if you want to accelerate getting other forces ready for the fight and more importantly up to strength so they are not being diluted by replacements think long and hard about cannibalisation.....

22nd Motor Bn - probably not worth it unless you are short of militia replacements - more worth it after they upgrade to AIF 42 squads.
17th, 19th and 25th MG Bns on the other hand are strong candidates for a disband to the pool - those three MG Bn's can pretty much bring every Aus Militia Div more or less up to strength in MMG Sections - vital as so much of the Divs firepower is in the MMG's - if you have some to spare you can always rebuild the Bns in 6 mon ths time.
But how can I do that? I tried to disband the Australian units- no chance. The same with the Indian Bn.
Is it changed in a update?
