  • Got finals so I won’t be able to get to this until after the 23rd.

    Good game so far.  I wish I wouldn’t have bought that $30 IC in Korea- that money might have put me over the top in the Pacific.  Germany probably should’ve held out longer with the naval build-up in the Atlantic for a round or two- solely to help Japan keep US occupied.  I didn’t think of that til later.  I agree with a comment someone made that if the Axis win it will usually be the 6VC option on the Pacific side.

    I wanna keep playing to see what Japan can muster.  Germany/Italy will play a stubborn defensive battle- I’ll give them 4-5 rounds to survive.  I’m wondering if that will be enough time for Japan to make out big in Asia and the Pacific.  They still got clout, but if they can’t secure the VC win by the time Germany/Italy go down then its lights out.

    See ya on the 24th.
