    It looks to me like Italy did collect for the N Persia NO.


  • I am deducting 2 ipcs from Italy from the latest map since the Italian’s did collect 4 ipcs for Oil on their turn.

    @corriganbp:

    so you would like to move Japanese into c persia to help defend?

    Yes.  9 Infantry, 1 Artillery move from E. Persia to C. Persia just prior to any American attack on C. Persia.  You still have a 1 in 3 chance of winning the battle.

    The only way you can attack the dst in the Adriatic is to build an AC.  I’m assuming that you won’t do that.

    Just FYI, Russia moves before China.  So you have to attack with the Russian stack then reinforce with China if you want them all together.


  • I can do what I have been doing and that’s let china attack, then wait for Germany and italy, and then move the russians to where the chinese are before the japanese go.

    That’s what I’ve been doing up until now.


  • that’s why the two forces are currently separated.  However, I will still get to move Russia to the chinese stack prior to Japan moving.

    Okay, it’s pretty much game over when Russia takes Sardinia, Sicily and Crete.  You proved it could be done and not really too late in the game (Round 12).  The whole idea of crushing England early is to win early before the allies can win - to do that you sacrifice high value pieces, pieces I needed when we decided to see what would happen.

    We can give it another couple of rounds if you want.  Was kind of hoping you’d miss that Italy could can open and your Russian stack odds were pretty bad but eh, didn’t happen.

    Like to point out, Japan DID win this game already. :P  Just for those of you who are not playing but downloading the map.

  • I agree that Japan did get the VC win.  However, this game does prove that it is possible for the Axis to gain a split map VC win, but not snow ball into an inevitable win.

    The key was that the USA lost hawaii because it was about 1 turn behind in its naval builds; however, after a round or two of building in W USA it was able to retake Hawaii and it doesn’t appear that Japan will be able to take it back.

    Personally, I like the split map VC win, but I have to accept that it is one more advantage to the Axis that may not be necessary given the currently crazily pro axis setup.

    So my personally preference would be to fix the setup not the split map VC conditions, but it is true that if you like the current setup and its virtually non preventable sea lion, then one slight nudge you could give the allies would be to restore the global 14 VC win condition.  It would have made the difference in this game.

    We can continue if you like, or we can stop.  It does look like under a 14 VC win condition, the Axis are doomed - but as you pointed out, you gained the split map victory early on.

    Something like this happened to me in classic about 20 years ago, we were playing first edition where the economic victory standard was lower than 2nd edition,  and my opponent clearly lost the war but won the game.  It was actually my first A&A loss.
