Pretty sure after me suiciding my German stack (I swear battle calc showed I could defend it)  I dont see a way I win this game.  My German Strategy did not work  :lol:

[OwenToo]

Well my calculation showed only 57% chance of success, and I knew I could retreat after the first round, but I got 3 more hits than average and you got 3 less hits than average.

[OwenToo]

The Pacific theatre looks pretty good for the Axis, but now that Russia is mostly out of danger, the USA would be pour resources into the Pacific.

[OwenToo]

So if you want to try your next strategy, you are welcome to set up another game for us.

[Tirano]

@OwenToo:

Exactly.  If I hadnt thrown away my army it would be a good game.

[Tirano]

@OwenToo:

Well my calculation showed only 57% chance of success, and I knew I could retreat after the first round, but I got 3 more hits than average and you got 3 less hits than average.

I thought when I ran it on my turn that I showed you had like a 35% chance, I probably screwed up and had the Italians defending with them.

[Tirano]

I would try one of my strategies, but you mention you spend heavy on the Atlantic with America always, which would conteract my experimental plays with Germany.  Which leaves Japan trying to experiment but that is just not really doable.  Im happy to play another round with you, just not sure anything new I have to try with how you play :)

[OwenToo]

Well, I have plenty of games going otherwise, and we have already played 2 league games, so let’s put our series on hold until later. I want to mostly just play league games from now on. Best wishes to you, and I hope you have success with your German experiments!  :wink:

[Tirano]

Cheers! :-)
