Germany’s Turn!

[Varn H]

I hope this is still interesting for you. I didn’t want to lose (which it looks like I will), but I am achieving my primary objective: experience. Unless you are completely bored, I was hoping to make it very difficult for you to achieve that 9th Victory City! It seems that this is a side effect from a failed KJF: a strong Naval presence making sea conquest difficult for the Axis.

Thanks again for the continued tutelage/instruction!

[MrMalachiCrunch]

It is interesting.  It seems hard for the axis to make much more progress.  I was playing cautious at first to ensure the ground game would ensure me a greater income and setup for a war of attrition had you gone that way.  I was afraid you would build another IC in the Pacific and do hit and runs along the Asian coast to leverage your 6 battleships.
