Ok, what is your biggest blunder that was 100% your fault? Mine is ending the turn twice in a row and forgetting to make any supplies [8|]. The Japanese and Germans were very thankful for that [:D]

Moving your Task Force away cause you fear a few sub kills only to allow all the med transports to go sight seeing in London......

[:D][:D][:D] I am so sorry Fazman, i just had to laugh. no hard feelings? Nothing is worst though than seeing the enemy pound away at you because you forgot to make supplies. Not a pretty sight...

I think mine was where the Germans took Spain & Gib, and I was struggling to deal with their subs. I therefore moved the fleet just beyond Gib in the Atlantic into port until I could sort their subs out. That was a disaster as the entire German surface fleet piled out of the Med and turned vast amounts of my merchant fleet into scrap metal. As well, the subs had no other targets except the transports, so they sank far more than usual as well. Ouch.

I returned my surface fleet and just grin and bear the damaged heavy and light fleets.

Well one of my blunders I made several times was allocating a lot of reseach from the factorys, but then forgetting to allocate it to something.

Here are a few...

1) Assaulting Changsa with the Japs, and attempting to save some supply by cutting the margin of victory too close, only to get bounced. Should have gone all out. Lost a ton of troops and any hope of an Axis victory.

2) Attacking everything in site as the Germans and repairing all the resources only to discover that I did not have the factory production capacity to use ANY of those resources. Doh!

3) Counter-attacking the Japanese as China with only militia! Now that was a fiasco! Fortunately (or unfortunately) the AI won't go after China past the coastal provinces. Even if the territories are completely undefended, which mine were.
Where is that smoke coming from?
