Wheatbeer (Allies +13) vs AlexGreat

I surrender.

I won’t be able to hold the Middle East or contest Western Europe effectively. And I failed to contain the growth of any of the Axis powers.

I really need to learn how to play the Americans correctly  :lol:

I won’t be able to land in Europe when Germany has so many planes and subs. By the time I have an adequate Atlantic fleet built and positioned, the Allies will be even weaker in both Europe and Asia.

If you want to swap sides to show me what you’d do with the Allies, I would be happy to learn. I just don’t see any realistic strategies.

I think Europe is the bigger problem, but I was making no progress in the Pacific either.

I was going to continue going heavy Pacific until Japan was contained, but all of Germany’s naval buys forced me to defend the east coast of the US and I couldn’t ignore it.

So now, none of the Axis powers are “contained” :lol:

Convoy damage can be almost as bad … 32 IPC in SZ101, and losing West Indies for example would take away a 5 IPC American NO.
