@SuperbattleshipYamato I’m not surprised. G42 does favor the Allies. But the Axis still have a decent chance at least Japan.

UK’s turn!
That first German turn really disgusts me (in particular the results of Egypt). What a disaster! To lose Egypt on G1 after bringing the Mediterranean fleet to SZ 15… Now that that fleet is sunk there is zero chance of German reinforcements to Africa in a KGF game, and my round 2 income is down to 33!
Makes me sick. I’m not sure what else I could have done in Egypt. I brought 4 ground units and a bomber. The dice gods were cruel I guess. Could have brought that fighter instead of using it against the destroyer in SZ 15… could have brought that Tank instead of the Artillery.

The first round for all nations(US not so much)can get you severely diced.
Egypt is a lot like Ukraine,maybe a little more vital,but certainly not all is lost.
It’s a short lived advantage for Britain till the Jap’s take Africa.
(I do prefer to take the tank to Egy,but sometimes ya just get diced)With the first round out off the way it now comes down to mistakes.(may you make more than me, lol)but seriously its obvious you know what your doing(lots of pressure on Rus already)
