I thought aa guns were 5 IPC?
-
The chart in abattlemap says 6, nevermind. Maybe they were 5 in OOB.
-
non-combat and placement as per map.
London collect 38IPCs, India collect 14IPC.
MapCan’t keep track of AA cost anymore, so many changes. Will just assume 6 :-)

I think I should probably concede the game. I should have had air units in place to prevent landings in the north … though even that wouldn’t have saved the Axis cause. I think I lost Germany’s game as soon I went crazy with the navy. I reasoned that if Sea Lion players could afford a bunch of transports, I could spare the money for ships. But I failed to consider how Sea Lion strategies recoup much of their expense from looted income and NO. The extra Italian IPC from Germany’s intervention wasn’t enough to justify the naval expense (plus tying up my airforce that was already weakened on G1).
While Japan can take Calcutta … and maybe recapture it if I’m lucky, Japanese forces are still too far away to save Europe. There’s no way Japan can achieve Pacific victory with China unchecked for so long.

Am out now and can’t see abattlemap. the tank in sfr was just blitzing in and out, made a mistake on the map.
I would have thought it’s far from over in Europe, I can take a city but not strong enough to hold yet…
Will weigh in later after looking at the map -
It’s not so much that European Axis is dead, but I don’t see how I’d break out from my position again. Each turn that goes by the UK will force me to keep more and more men on WGR and GER. I don’t think I can dislodge you from Denmark while still keeping Russia at bay.

I always wondered if Jap could actually leave China alone altogether. It did pan out pretty well and kept US well-invested in the Pacific for the most part, but it didn’t complement the Europe side. I would have felt serious grief if Jap invaded Soviet Far East and kept India under pressure a couple turns earlier. That would also mean India can’t resupply Africa so much, and Italy can direct efforts towards dislodging the landings. Your naval builds meant Medit is lost to me unless I made very expensive investments in a lot more naval assets instead of transports, so effectively Italy can build an army to help hold France/Ger. You’re right that the lack of a credible air threat let me land far too easily.
Actually for the investments you made in the navy and the mistakes I made early on with the Royal Navy, it is key to hold Gibraltar and z91, so that you delay US as long as possible (you were always just a coupla SS short). With Jap off Hawaii, it would have stretched US seriously. I’m beginning to think that Gibraltar is very strategic to either side, worth significant effort to hold/capture. Even more so than Egypt.Anyhow, I’m cool if you wanna stop here. Can I interest you in a Alpha3 game?
