@zlefin said in G40 OOB zlefin (L+45) v BobbaRossa (X):

I’m rather surprised you haven’t seen other games end with axis getting the VC win even though it’d lose in the long run if there weren’t such a win condition; or maybe I misunderstood your statement. Since the current game state is already looking to be an instance of that, and it doesn’t look THAT atypical to me.

Nope, you got it correct. Usually the Allies push really fast right behind Japan with the pacific fleet and the Axis only have a turn or two to consolidate. I feel like you’ve given me a lot more time to get my bearings than I expected. The bomber buy turn also set you back a turn in the Atlantic. That build typically only works on people who are unfamiliar with executing a Sea Lion.

I’ll just concede here. Though I still think even if I’d followed Japan more tightly, you’d have been able to get and hold egypt and get all the VCs you’d need for a win anyways. You had enough floating air that I wouldn’t be able to get enough force on any one spot to take it, and you had enough german forces that I couldn’t cover Volg and Russia.

I remain surprrised, because it seems like this kind of scenario should happen more often.
