boy, the nuances are killing me. literally. i thought having morocco would close the med to the u.s. ships, but apparently you only have to control gibraltar. never would have brought those italians to morocco if i’d read a little closer. and i didn’t think the u.s. fighters could get to sz6… the pacific ocean mosaic is just ridiculous to try to figure out. this game’s pretty much over as a result of dumb/ignorant plays on my part…
don’t scramble the german fighters… why lose 3 more air units?

Yes, only Gibraltar controls this passage. Actually, subs can always travel freely, no matter who controls Gibraltar.
I could have (and would have) attack Italian no matter where they would have been.About US fighters, It’s one thing I like to surprise with. I don’t know how many players know this trick, but I surprise few of them. It’s a little set back for Japan as they now have a threat against homeland. Japan can easily response to that threat… but their progression is halted meanwhile.
But, most of all, I think I have the edge because German’s advance is not strong enough to take over Moscow and they now face 2 sided front… almost 3 if I succeed to break Italy. German is strong enough to destroy multi national fleet in English Chanel, but they won’t recover losses as quick as Allies. Besides, this attack against English channel will prevent critical air support against Russia.
All that being said, I think you’re a strong player. Your Japan’s moves is the strongest I ever faced at sea… I even take your model for my Japan start from now on. 5Transports is not enough to seriously threat London or to surprise Leningrad. I did same mistake at my first game in Alpha 2. There again I took model from another player who buy 2 Tr at first turn, and then 7-8 more.
To sum up, I enjoy this game. I do feel I have the edge, but not sure it’s an axis lost cause… in anycase, whenever you feel to forfeit it’s ok with me. If you want to restart a new game (switching side or not), I’m in for sure. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from you.

oh, let’s keep going another turn or two… every time you post a move i see some new idea practically implemented. good play… i’m enjoying, too. this game is so much more complext than aa50 or any previous version. so many options and nuances. the pacific, though, is driving me batty… i mean seriously,… fighters can fly from hawaii to japanese homewaters for an attack, then back 400 miles to be picked up by a carrier that sails all the way across the pacific? of course, it’s not supposed to be “realistic”, but still… that’s a loooooooooooooooooooooooong flight with no movies. :wink:
