12L - Botider (allies +11) vs EB (axis) game 2

@Booper Scramble option to Yunnan

@TinCanoftheSea

Yes, I do think the Allies are in a decent position to delay the Axis. Allies generally play for time, and the income advantage. Axis moves fast, or goes for income (or both).

Things could change with a significant battle, but Japan is going to be hard-pressed having lost 10 or so planes at this point, and not having a significant income. Losing those 2 transports early has snowballed into Japan not being able to hold FIC and Malaya, which makes the land battle extremely challenging. Germany is still OK, but it will be a grind, but possibly doable. Losing Norway does make it tougher, and of course Italy is probably the strongest of be ever seen.

Anyways, happy to continue though an uphill battle for the Axis for sure. Or if you want to swap sides, or re-match same sides, or just bid for it again, or take a break - could do that.

scramble from queens?
