Just in case you can see this before Wednesday.

Do the subs fight in sz 54 at Queensland?

2 attacking subs vs 2 defending subs and a TT.

[Karl7]

they fight!

[JDOW]

Hehe. Of course. I was even tempted to let them fight without asking because you were out of town but I better wanted to be certain.

blah, no real options anymore other than wait for the inevitable, so why waste our time? :lol:

GG

I’ll post.

[JDOW]

I agree, the German march to Egypt is unstoppable and Japan is certainly struggling but not collapsing in the next 2-3 turns, especially as US cannot stop pumping fighters towards Europe.

GG Karl. In the early rounds I had smooth dice, nothing spectacular but no really negative events which is always important for the Axis.

[JDOW]

One piece of advice: You should have really killed the Japanese tank that retook Korea, you could have easily airstriked it or killed it with the Russians. Was this an oversight? I still think it was a bit too late at this point to stop the Germans but this had a HUGE impact on the stability of Japan.

Yeah, I think I was going to with the US, but just forgot.  This is what I saying about playing 1 top player at a time… all my attention was against Axis Dominion, so things like that fell through the cracks

[Karl7]

not that this game didn’t warrant my attention, just that that game was moving at much quicker pace and was started before this one and seemed like at a decision point every turn… yada yada yada…

[JDOW]

hehe got it.
