Now that I’ve had my moment of foolishness, I must compliment you on being one of the better ‘allies’ players I have come across. It’s astonishing how few realize the necessity of using India and the majority of US IPCs against Japan, which can win the game with only 6 VC’s–2 of which they start with, another 2 of which come very easily (Manila and Hong Kong). I have never been in such bad shape in the Pacific by J8.
Had you not been so cute with Russia, and your luck so atrocious, with the state of things in the Pacific and the U.S. poised to take Rome, I would be in very dire straits. As it stands, this may become my first ever ‘Europe’ axis victory (and just like you, I’m undefeated as the axis 1vs1).
Please take none of that as a presumption that this affair is over. I’m prepared for many more turns of fun…
