I did assume no scramble in 112 due to odds. Let me know if you want to run it though, and can re-do that portion of the turn.

awesome! and congrats on your big win!
-
wow I just realized, germans and Russians have almost the same number of units. that’s nuts.
-
Yep. I think you’ve blocked an axis pacific victory and the Germans are in trouble. I’ll see what I can do for the next couple of rounds, but this looks tough.
-
yah I think you’ve been trying to do too much with the germans: Gibraltar, big navy, big airforce, Norway, and Russian front.
I think you would’ve been in decent shape tbh, if you hadn’t gone for Norway. I think that just allowed the Russians to bust the gates open wide.
-
the Russians are now only a step away from Berlin. that’s gotta be very alarming.
-
It is!
And I’m sure you are right. I thought Norway was iffy, but I also thought it was worth it to take away the factory and the US land units. Although I suspect you are getting to a point where you are not going to need the US to be too involved on the Europe side.

yep, America can focus on pac side now, pretty much. Russian’s got if from here.
-
Norway was a distraction to allow the Russians in.
-
I think it’s a common mistake German players make when they go and sweep Norway, taking extremely valuable attention away from the Russian campaign (assuming Russians aren’t already pinned down and weak). I pretty much never see anything good come out of a Norway sweep (or normandy as well), unless it is when the allies have just barely taken it and it’s a relatively costless sweep.
-
bsd recently did a normandy sweep on me and then promptly lost after that, even tho he scored well in that sweep.

I think it’s a common mistake German players make when they go and sweep Norway, taking extremely valuable attention away from the Russian campaign (assuming Russians aren’t already pinned down and weak). I pretty much never see anything good come out of a Norway sweep (or normandy as well), unless it is when the allies have just barely taken it and it’s a relatively costless sweep.
I think I still have trouble with axis strategy at this level and perhaps with the need to be more singleminded about what the focus should be on early. I suspect here that I made the mistakes earlier in dividing German attention too much. I’ve found with more mid level players that holding Gibraltar has been quite effective. It makes Italy more dangerous and can mess with the atlantic threat against Germany, which then allows Germany to take Russia. But against both you and Karl it’s backfired, and I pay for not being more singleminded.
I knew that I if I took Norway, the Soviets would push in. But i felt that if I didn’t, I would only be able to delay the Soviets a turn or two and would have a more substantial problem on the atlantic side. Anyway, every game is good experience.
