@The_Good_Captain Nice, I’ll stay tunned!
G40 A2 game: Lemming vs Alsch91
-
I never realized you could have attacked z91 and have a landing space! That’s both German fleet lost, some 200IPCs worth down the drain.
-
Sigh, this is the hardest rookie lesson I’ve learnt about the map ever :-(
Major major blunder, turns the game completely around. -

Agree Rus had it real tough on the dice. Still it’ll be a long while before Moscow falls, but do you see yourself reversing the slow descent with Ger economy at 90 and Italy at 50?
Now that I’ve shored up the Ger navy, I think US is in abit of a fix too between saving Hawaii or liberating NSW.
Up to you if you wanna cede and start a fresh game on yet another version of Alpha3… -
Yeah I agree, it’s pretty much not going to swing back towards Allies quickly enough, I think.
I think US will be able to revive UK quickly, with a tank or two swinging through Africa, but it probably won’t be enough.
My mistake was in moving both US transports towards Alaska once US was at war. I should’ve brought one or just taken it back through Canada, and then taken back Hawaii instantly and immediately started putting the pressure on Japan. For the Europe map to be salvagable, Japan would have to be a lot lower than it currently is now.No problem.
I’m curious about Alpha 3, but frankly am not sure what to do about it right now.
I think many of the changes ended up making the game tilted toward the Allies. Although Larry has made a handful of drastic pro-Axis changes recently. I don’t really know, but I think that the game isn’t any closer than Alpha 2 was. I guess it’d be fun to give A3 a shot, but I’ll leave it up to you.
