…well, I might be forgetting something, but isn’t damaging the Carrier the better way? Losing the Cruiser is correct I think. And Germany did enough damage in the 2nd round of Combat, so it doesn’t affect that battle.

…well, alright, in fact I overlooked something. The OOL is quite interesting… wanna go for safety or not?

Uhmm…

What “desperation” attacks are we talking about here?  From what I can see, allies have this in the bag.

+120 Units
+450 TUV
+50 IPC a turn income lead.

Even with sealion… I don’t know…

I certainly am a respecter of the TUV.  However, in Global the Allies have a handicap of about 300-350 TUV.  In other words, if the Allies are not ahead by 300 or so, they are losing the TUV battle. If the Axis ever pull even on TUV they have all but won the game, but for a potential VC lock-out.

Don’t get me wrong, I get the swing, and also say that the allies/axis are about even in income, even when the allies are at +25.

But I’m just not seeing the success I need to here… and what i was hoping for!

Cmon guys!
