Wheatbeer (Axis) vs Axisplaya (Allies) G40 A3 no tech

Looking at all the fighters approaching via Persia and China it seems that Germany has lost its window for victory over Moscow.

Unless you want to see how it would play out, I think I should concede the game.

Froodnet gives me pretty dire odds (< 1%)

Moscow holds with: 23 inf, 2 mech, 14 art, 8 tank, 1 tact, 9 fig

Worth a shot, you’re right.  I could have bumped my odds a little more with a different Italian/Japanese NCM to free up German fighters and a different German buy (tanks or sukr, planes on nov).

I failed to see how fast ANZAC/US planes could arrive.

More critically, I should have either slammed Russia hard from the start with Japan or to have a plan to sack India early with Japan (with those 2 NOs, it’s a monster).  All I managed to do was hold the DEI for a bit and beef up Italy.

Thanks for a very enjoyable match  :-) I always wanted to take the Axis navy on an African cruise.  If you’d like to play another match, let me know, I’ll certainly be up for it.

Certainly, start a thread whenever you have a chance.  My play as Allies will probably be slightly slower (more typing and I have less experience as Allies).
