damn, never seen india so strong lmao…it’ll be a while before i can crack that.

[axis-dominion]

ok so i posted the map. let me know if you wish to continue. still anybody’s game. that was just one big battle. we’re now even on the LL re-rolls, so from here on, we get what we get  :-o

[Karl7]

Interesting, I checked the league stats, and the Axis are only marginally doing better than the Allies.

I am surprised. I assumed it was much higher pro-Axis.

I remember when A&A 1940 Global first came out, the Axis sort of passive/aggressive strategy was one of the first strategy winners. But for whatever reason, it fell out of favor.

It’s real bitch to overcome because the Axis have the advantage of position and proximity. I wouldn’t be surprised if this eventually becomes a game breaker.

I’ve always believed that Allies have been underpowered. Especially the USSR and USA. But, maybe not in the right hands.

If there was anything I think I would’ve done differently it would probably not to activate the neutrals. I really didn’t get that much extra out of them and it opens up the Middle East too much.

[Karl7]

OK, you posted. Let me look.
