Accidentally taking Burma was extremely costly here. Not even a fighting chance now.
Yeah taking Burma was crappy, but Japan taking India on J5 was inevitable either way. Those UK forces would either die in Burma or in India.
I think we are seeing that with Neutral Blocks the game is very slanted toward an axis win. Being able to crush the middle east with impunity, together with a Japanese move on India to either take it outright or even just keep UK busy and out of the middle east is a combo that would be hard to beat for the allies. I don’t know how I would counter that. Maybe US goes 100% Atlantic? In this case, you beat me in two alpha 3 games hands down, but in this game with Neutral Blocks the axis seem to hold all the cards.
What do you think? Want to continue or call it? I would not consider this a loss on your part because the rules were on my side. Really unfair I would say.
I dunno what will happen. I can prevent Japan from taking Hawaii or NSW for awhile yet. But with all 3 Axis powers bearing down on the Middle East (assuming you take your Japanese forces there after Calcutta falls), you can probably evict me no matter what I do. Joining SZ98-SZ100 lets you threaten quite a lot of territories.
On the other hand, Russia is doing ok despite splitting my forces. I can probably take both Norway and Sweden. However, I don’t know if I can fight both of my southern fronts (incoming to the east into Ukraine and incoming north to the Caucasus).
OK let’s keep it going for a bit and see where it leads.

the new Buy is (79/79) also, sorry for the tweaking
tweaking no problemo. I think I also forgot to place my 10 inf on Japan last turn. Perhaps you could be so kind as to place them?
Scramble 3 fighters in z6 please
I’ll add them. Though even without them I wasn’t thinking of sacking Tokyo anytime soon :-P
