GG WP

:-D

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

GG.  That start in the Pacific was devastating.  It was scary for the United States and ANZAC, but your fleet could easily be repositioned back to the Money Islands.  I will have to try that opening sometime.

There were a couple of rounds where Germany could have easily captured Egypt (G4 and G5, I recall).  Why did you decide not to launch the amphibious assault?  That would have been devastating for the Allies.  I was so scared that I opted not to build a factory there to prevent it from falling into your hands.

[-Pete]

I was so scared of losing all my german air, I opted for an economic win, going for mid east like i did. I should have built a factory in greece i think to support the cyprus sz. Russia is crazy strong though in the mod like you said.

Looking forward to the next game! :mrgreen:

[regularkid]

why concede? axis have income superiority and its only round 8. what am i missing

[-Pete]

russia is about to enter beast mode, allies are going to hold egypt… americans gonna start taking scandinavia etc. germany is done for and japan cant take the game alone. thats my take on it anyways.

[regularkid]

my take is that as long as axis have income superiority, they’re in the game. if u’re making more than your opponent, you don’t need an immediate path to victory.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

100% agreed, regularkid.  Equal economies will favor the Axis.  The two things that are going to hurt the Axis is the inability to capture Egypt and the impending loss of Scandinavia.  One of the two could be surmounted, but the combination of both is tough.  I am glad that I played an aggressive Russia.

-Pete, I want to try out your initial Japan strat.  Should we switch sides and start a third balanced match?
