I saw your post on the thread about G1 barbarossa.  Would you want to end this game here and have me start another as Germany and do a G1, or do them both at the same time, or finish this one and then start the other?  Any of those would be cool with me but I might be a bit slow the next few days.

[questioneer]

Yeah I can do both if you can.  I’ll start the thread.  I would like to keep going with this one.  I still feel there is a lot of play for Axis here although I do feel they are losing some steam in this game.

Probably could have stalled the US landing for a couple of rounds, but then I would have had to keep buying naval units and I would lose any progress on the Eastern Front.  That French battle in Sudan really hurt.  Norway is annoying also.  You can really see the power of that Russian Communist NO in effect in this final version of Alpha.

I feel the Euro Axis is ready to break any moment.  Its too bad, b/c Japan has a lot of positive things going for it in the Pacific- though I feel 6VCs is still a ways yet.  That Major I bought in Korea is turning out to be a waste.  $30 down the drain and I can’t get around to using it yet.  You are still holding it together in the middle with Russia- nice job.  Axis is tough.  I still think this version of Alpha is slightly Allied advantage.  Coordination is so powerful for them with 6 Allies.  Geography also works to their advantage.  What do you think so far???

[Guest]

I have been finding that the Soviet NO is a huge factor, especially  if they can get some units down into Africa.  Iraq is almost a freeby for them.  The game is definitely a race against time for the axis and that’s why I think the slow Barbarossa approach is a tough sell now.  They really have to crush USSR from both sides early on because the allies come on so strong after round 8, 9, 10….

In this instance I think the naval arms race would be very hard for germany to sustain and taking back Norway would be too expensive too.  I can USSR reduce Germany’s tank force and hang on while the Americans open up the second front.  Japan still has a lot going for it but US and ANZAC are rebuilding.

Anyway I will post this Russia turn and get back to it tomorrow, and start the G1 game. Busy day today.
