The Italian dice gave me some hope there, but that was pretty ugly.

[axis-dominion]

classic A&A, germany going Moscow straight up… but honestly, this is why that rarely happens, even by round 10… cuz even 80+ odds is too risky. well at least in competitive play. but your situation was getting desperate, so it made sense.

[axis-dominion]

and I really think bm4 with 14 cost of bombers screwed Germany’s SBR gameplan, which is very important for a successful conquest of Moscow, at least if it’s going to happen earlier in the game. allies depend on SBR campaign later in the game, if they gain Norway or normandy, etc.

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion it does make it more of a challenge but with those dice one or two more bombers wasn’t going to cut it. And yeah, I wouldn’t have gone for it if Japan was doing better. But it looked like now or never for Germany and I had close to 90% odds after that Italy attack. Could easily have come out of that with most of my air and a few tanks.

I had called around 80% and breaking even, but maybe I missed something. anyway, yea I was bracing for the worst, I figured even if you won and had much of your airforce in place, I felt pretty confident with this allied position. ME would only grow unbareably stronger, and pac is looking bad for Japan. I was probably also gonna send all my air to india to make better use of them, and then backfill in the pac as needed. from india, they could pivot east or west as needed and cause a lot of axis pain.
