sorry to “but” in here, I was curious and now that I looked at the map I am really scratching my head.

How did you two get to this juncture? Russia controls FRANCE?? How the hell did they ever get to france? I have no idea how you guys will finish this one.

Its been a very unusual game with some extreme tactics.  in my opinion the outcome here is in doubt but DM is certain this is an axis win all the way, right DM?

[LuckyLindy]

If DM hadn’t sunk a bunch of undefended transports in one blow (7-10) like you did JWW I would feel much better about this one.  and still I didn’t learn the lesson, as you just proved to me JWW…  :?

Yeah, don’t know if this one will get done.  Lol!  Waaaaaay too many units on the board now.

Russia is in France because I had to chase them down after LL abandoned Moscow.  He used a very clever move and loaded them on US trans to get them out of Asia.  But As I recall he had to take Fra with Russia to land UK ftrs for defense.  At the time I couldn’t prevent a 1-2-3 on France and hold (Japan was extremely weak and had no Eu presence) so I had to pull back to Berlin and Rome.  I think the only way he could hold was to actually take with Russia.  I was hoping he’d wait for UK where I think I could have been able to counter with a Ger-Ita 1-2, but can’t really remember now.  lol!

Definitely an unusual game.  I think I have (or had) the advantage, but at this point a “certain win” is too much to say.  There are just too many units on the board.  I don’t think I can lose, but I’m not sure I can win either.  My stance has been based on maintaining my ~500 unit lead in land/air ipc, we’ve been pretty much even on per turn ipcs for who knows how long.  So I haven’t lost ground, but I don’t think I can ever push the Allies out of Fra and I don’t think the Allies will ever get Ita or Ger.  The risk is just too big to make any attacks (for either side) IMO, especially since we need to rely on 1-2 type attacks.  If you get even odds okay, but if your first attack skews down it could really cripple either one of us.

I’ve tried to slow play a couple of ideas, I was really hoping the Indian IC would have allowed a J Navy, but you nipped that in the bud right away and now its just a inf/arm pump.  I was also slow playing a plan in Europe, and I did take Nor, but I’m not sure it makes all that much difference.  Not sure if I can do what I wanted to.

J on the way…
