[Snigg]

OK, I’ve utterly buggered this one early…I’m going to throw in the towel here.

Good game Simon.

Snigg

[simon33]

Ok, cool. Thanks. Good game.

I was thinking you were going to struggle with Russia looking like holding in Bryansk and Japan being pushed back in China.

It was a bit of a mistake allowing ANZAC to take FIC. Should have forced me to do that as UK.

I’m still not completely convinced that the Allies are as weak as people say.

[Snigg]

Yeah, I made some moves that really left me confused as to what I was thinking later, and you took advantage well.

I think around 21~24 is about par for Allies, maybe even lower.  If they can get the Axis struggling on one side, and hold their own on the other they’ve got a good shot.  The Axis don’t have the production to fight from parity, until they take considerable territory.
