@Stough
Yeah. Not intuitive. The button says scramble, even if 0 planes were selected. Threw me off the first few times.

[mainah]

I mist say it is looking very rosy for the allies right now! The axis might have to gamble against long odds. And i review the game to see where it turned - and it was the russian stack in china that stalled everything. I didnt see it coming - and japan had to spend time and money and give yp half of china because of it. I have got to figure out how to beat that next time!

[Stough]

Yep, I think the Axis is done.

I had no idea before the game started that I would do that in China. I always looked at those Russian guys as belated reinforcements or a turn stall from their original position. But yeah, that was a game changer.

[Stough]

What might be helpful to both of us , once each of these games are over, considering how new were are, is to do an AAR. An after action review and try to find 3 things(or more if you want) to comment on for our opponent. I would welcome any criticism of choices I’ve made. Anything that will help me to be a better player.

Are you cool with playing the Axis one more time before we switch? I hate to forecast too much, but I think both of us have the same desire to get better and I think we’ll be swapping games for a long time.

Are we still doing this one?

@Stough
Yes to AAR. Yes to another round as axis before swapping. And ues to still playing this one. Too much on the board to just walk.
ME with a sino-soviet twist.
I see one way out of this. Not great plan, poor odds. But i got to try, as there is still a smidge of hope.
