I’m going to concede the game right there.

Japan is too strong, USA is too weak and needs to work hard just to defend San Francisco! India will probably fall in 3 rounds or so. Perhaps I can kill your German spearhead in the Middle East but this is not at all assured. Would have been nice if USA could have taken Iraq but I really needed to kill the SZ93 fleet with a 50/50, preferably with a decent force surviving.

Not sure where I lost this one but I think not going to take down Western Europe US3 was a major blunder.

[simon33]

Perhaps the allies need more than +9 to compensate for no guerillas.

[trulpen]

Yes, it looks tough for the Allies. Maybe you went too heavy Africa/ME? I got blown away there, but it gave Japan the momentum to rule. Like you said, putting immediate pressure on the Germans might be the thing. Especially with defensively huge monster in Russia.

I have no clue really about bid levels, but you may be right. I didn’t need to stock China with 36-40 UV. In the opening it doesn’t matter ofc, but middle game that’s pretty much two extra ac’s and perhaps a des.

Anyway, well fought! It was a constant struggle for me, getting a knife in the back every now and then. 😉
