I’ll do Germany tomorrow.
sure take your time
I hope they do a playoff for the league. Maybe best of three series of the top 6 with top 2 getting first round byes or something.
The more people play, the more they may expand … I agree that top 2 or top 4 is a little thin.
You’ve been playing all the decent players, you need to beat up on some chumps.
You have the top strength of schedule I imagine.

The Soviet Union had no units left on the board, so I went ahead and did Japan as well.
OOL for any battle would be strategic bombers, then aa guns, then max defense (nationality doesn’t matter).
No way to win. I concede. Forgot about the transport into denmark.

I should note another weird defense that I could have done, but wasn’t necessary.
The UK can be stopped from landing any units in in either Poland or Novgorod by buying submarines in SZ114, Z115, and SZ127 plus an airbase for Poland. Scrambling in any of those SZ would allow the subs to surface and would eventually kill the UK carriers which have no attack value.
I suppose the US could SBR the NOV airbase … but not Poland’s.
If you want another go at it … I can do a fresh G11 (I can see room for improvement) … but I understand if you’re not interested since you have a lot of league matches open.
No, I think there’s little chance to crack you.
Lesson learned is defend Egypt harder I guess and crack Norway earlier, and less balls to the wall vs. Japan.
The slow German buildup in Russia was impressive.

I feel like all my games are over 12 rounds :lol:
