Well, we finished Round 7 last night and here is the situation:
England is pretty much stuck on their island, although the Canadian factory is helping put destroyers in the water. UK’s factory and both bases are maxed out in damage. Germany has surrounded Moscow and Stalingrad, both of which factories are also maxed out on damage. Gotta love those SBRs. Japan has taken all of China, Mongolia and eastern Russia. Still no action in the Pacific or SE Asia as the Axis have been very careful not to provoke America, which is still neutral until next round. America has built up a monsterous fleet, most of which is by the Philippines. With that and the few ships out by Hawaii, I think they out number the Japanese fleet. The Japs have gotten a few more warships, but had to mix that with land units to hit China, Russia and get ready to go after Allied positions.
America also has a modest fleet in the Atlantic but is stuck on the East Coast since London hasn’t fallen and nobody has attacked them. Italy has swarmed all over Africa and the Middle East and is currently on Calcutta’s doorstep in West India. Only British assets left are on the UK itself, Canada and SE Asia. I’m afraid that by the time the USA can do anything, the Axis will have all the Victory Cities in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Unfortunately, my weekend is wrapping up. Got to go back to work tonight. We might squeeze in a round or two before going to work sometime this week, but more than likely this game will have to wait until next weekend, which for me is Mon/Tue nights. I will post how it ends, but at this point I’m almost sure it will be an Axis victory, unless USA is able to pull a pretty big rabbit out of their hat. I’m pretty sure Moscow will fall next round and after that will come Sealion. Don’t think that UK will be able to do much to stop it either.
