Ug I completely forgot to block Ros.
Got impatient in the non-coms. Damn. :roll:

Yeah after a couple small mistakes like that one I can tell the economics aren’t going to be able to be tilted quickly enough for Allies. I think that’s it for me.
A very nice game. I’m very curious as to Gibraltar. If Germany wants to help Italy, UK doesn’t have a chance in the world of holding on to it. And America’s only got 3 rounds to prepare before 8 infantry are being dumped each turn into it. I thought of going up North and just invading Normandy. That would probably work pretty well, consider the amount of resources you’ll have put into Gibraltar.
What really gets me is when Japan attacks Russia. I can’t push you back for fear that I’ll need those troops in Moscow soon, so that’s a good 7 IPCs that Japan will never have to fight for and which Russia will never get back. China was a pain but 5-6 Mechs a turn solved that pretty well for you.
If I had remembered to put something in the Atlantic last turn and to block Rostov, I’d probably be a bit more hopeful. But after those mistakes it’s not very hopeful.
What do you think?

Don’t want to seem arrogant or pretentious, but i’m pretty sure i’m gonna win this one. Just a matter of time. Allies are in big trouble when Germany AND Japan are making about 70 IPC per round and when there is no quick solution to stop that.
About Japan attacking Russia on J1 ? Well, why do you think they add the mongolian rules in Alpha 3 ? Precisely because of that. When you come to think of it, those 6-7 IPC / round are some of the most precious for that can be for Axis : they are a pain in the ass for Russia, which allows Germany to NOT go too hard on Russia without paying the price, which means Germany can spend a lot to stay in control of Atlantic, or at least for a good while. Also, those 7 IPC are extremely secured ones : when you get to lose them (if ever), it takes a very long time to get them all. When you got those 7 IPC, it’s much less painful when you get to loose one of the DEI for a few rounds.
Only thing i think you get wrong : Gibraltar CAN be cracked pretty much faster than you think . You just didn’t figure out yet how to do that ! :wink:
If you want, let’s play another Alpha + 2 game and I’ll play allies so that we get to learn from each other technique…
What do you think ?
