Agree Rus had it real tough on the dice. Still it’ll be a long while before Moscow falls, but do you see yourself reversing the slow descent with Ger economy at 90 and Italy at 50?
Now that I’ve shored up the Ger navy, I think US is in abit of a fix too between saving Hawaii or liberating NSW.
Up to you if you wanna cede and start a fresh game on yet another version of Alpha3… -
Yeah I agree, it’s pretty much not going to swing back towards Allies quickly enough, I think.
I think US will be able to revive UK quickly, with a tank or two swinging through Africa, but it probably won’t be enough.
My mistake was in moving both US transports towards Alaska once US was at war. I should’ve brought one or just taken it back through Canada, and then taken back Hawaii instantly and immediately started putting the pressure on Japan. For the Europe map to be salvagable, Japan would have to be a lot lower than it currently is now.No problem.
I’m curious about Alpha 3, but frankly am not sure what to do about it right now.
I think many of the changes ended up making the game tilted toward the Allies. Although Larry has made a handful of drastic pro-Axis changes recently. I don’t really know, but I think that the game isn’t any closer than Alpha 2 was. I guess it’d be fun to give A3 a shot, but I’ll leave it up to you. -
if you think it can still turn, then it’s good to see how it pans out. I’ve never actually taken Moscow, with you having more than 70 over troops amassed I’m starting to think London is the easier fight.
I’m curious what US is going to do anyway…
Agree that Alpha3 is somewhat of a letdown, maybe let’s wait for the dust on that to settle first. I’m already trying a coupla A3 games and frankly I think the only big impact is the airbase in Gibraltar. -
So let’s just continue a coupla more rounds?

Guess we could give it a shot.
