I was going to do a Sea Lion this game but I saw your defence - you could attack z112 and I would have needed to buy a CV to defend it. And that would mean I couldn’t afford enough TTs.

oops. Started getting lazy as I have been busy. Thought you had 60% odds with even expected TUV. But then I forgot about the italian ftrs, and moved some air and gave you a 92% shot.

I think that should do it. I underestimated what the US would be able to do in Europe. Maybe it was only close because of the one sided SFr battle but I should have pulled back India. Japan would have had a hard time maintaining pressure on the stack as it got farther away and I would have been able to do some more things with all of that air alive.
Interesting though. Still trying to get my bearings back but I think in the past once Russia dies its game over. That is kind of what happened in this game but I dont think it was necessarily a complete losing effort. Couple tweaks and I think it could have been different.
But either way, well played.

One thing I think you should have done differently is maintain the pressure on Japan. When Japan was able to take its planes off its CVs to attack India, the complexion of the game changed a lot.
Still, you had me worried basically the whole way through.
-
Yeah, I kind of thought it was over when Russia was going to get steamrolled so I started playing more risky. I dont think I have played many games where it wasnt completely decided by the time Russia fell. I didnt think I could wait any longer in Europe theater. But I did hold economic lead most of the game which was my goal but still felt like I was losing.
-
I felt a tonne better once I had taken India. I wasn’t sure that you could hold Caucasus indefinitely and once I had that you had to defend a couple of fronts.
I don’t really think it’s enough for the Axis to take Russia. You need India too (or Egypt or London). Perhaps Sydney would do too.
One lesson that I’ll take out of this is that it will be better to lose a fighter if I get a triple hit against me in The Philippines.

Thanks for the game! Was a nail biter for me.
