Industry totally destroyed in India - I had that happen to me when I played Japan and was capturing bases without any defenders. MichaelM did not get that issue fixed in the last few patches. Work around was the Allies were required (House Rule) to leave one small LCU in each base that had multiple industries there. Just a small battalion was enough for this not to happen.

Does this happen if the base automatically switches to the other side?

Hi

As I said in the reply im sorry I wasted your time starting this game I should have read the HR discussion better and been more clear in my writing. Also i should have stopped the game when you landed in Mersine and port moresby on day one but it is more then 10 years since i have run in to those trick from a opponent and when you never showed up at PH i should have stopped it there or when you started with the stratosphere zero sweeps. I must be more clear with the HR in my next game

It was not fair that i just stopped playing when i realised that you were going for India in January with no chance of defending it. It was a waste of your time and not really a nice thing to do but i am surprised that you never really caught on to that fact that i was flying cap at 1000 feet and that My units more or less stopped moving for 30+/- turns

Again im sorry for this and i hope you find a new opponent that fits to you play style

ITAKLinus,

I have to say this is one of the most remarkable AARs I've ever read. I don't know if you still visit this AAR, but I've just spent the last few days with my mouth open at the speed and application of force you accomplished as Japan. Bravo!

Of course, many players go to lengths to understand and maximize the oil/resources HI/LI aspect of the game, as well as calculating risks regarding areas to bypass and assets/areas to invade. But this is a whole new level for me to see. It's remarkable. My hat's off to you. I'm going to bookmark it for a slow read and analysis in my game future for sure.

XENXEN, I personally think you needn't be so hard on yourself for conceding the game. After many years reading these AARs, I've come to believe people are much too quick to voice their disapproval when someone who, in their opinion, "quits the game early."

I say so be it, live and let live, learn from the experience and move on. I'm certainly not a fan of, say, forcing someone to sit through a real thrashing just to allow me the satisfaction of seeing the success of my plans; especially in a situation like here, where you clearly see the futility of future efforts for a very long time to come. It's probably best you both move on and find new opponents. As I said, what Linus has done here is remarkable, exceptional. I haven't seen planning and play like this by Japan since Admiral Laurent, Olorin, or koniu. In the face of such play: no harm, no foul. I think at some point, it's ungentlemanly NOT to allow you to concede gracefully.

Fred

You should have let him know much sooner.

Even if you lost most if not all of India, you could comeback from that.

I do not have regret for stopping the game only starting it with out more of the anti exploit HR and a better understanding of my opponents wish for gameplay style.

Yes I know I should never have started the game at all.

And a come back would not have been any fun for anyone it would have been years of sitting around and then the allied would have just rolled over Japan with stratosphere sweeps, 4e bombers and fletcher hoards and that would be even less fun for anyone.
