I was surprised you stayed… I had pretty good odds and a retreat option.

I am somewhat curious…. how come you never made a desperate attack on Russia? If you give up on the Pacific win, usually you go balls out for Russia… who cares if you lose west germany, norway, etc in the process… you just need germany and italy in it.

My axis has improved. I got Moscow down to a science now. About to G6 Karl in my other game, I setup for G7 but he did not put fighters in range so I am going a round earlier, I could wait a round and odds would improve, cannot wait longer than that.

I usually do some middle east and africa stuff but I got diced out of that so whatever. Axis can still win really hard without fancy stuff.

Round: 8

Combat Move - French

Turn Complete - French

Only when I am playing Japan am I cool with a longer game. I feel like I can always win in the pacific. Some games the allies just go full Pacific and it is like well…. “I will just take Calcutta round 3-5 and stay in it for as long as possible, Germany will take Russia, it is going to happen.” That is why the axis are stupid over powered in G40.

For some reason you sacrificed Japan… without doing one of the two gambits. One gambit you take Siberia rounds 1-3 on round 2 you buy bombers, round 3 they fly to mid china, round 4 you bomb the Russians for Germany. Boom. Germany can take Russia as early as round 5.

The other Europe gambit, you take Calcutta, doing pacific stuff, then all of a sudden go Africa. You can screw over the allies and get a quick Europe win. This is the safer gambit, because all you really lose is positioning if you feel like Japan is not needed for Europe.

When I am the allies… OH GOD. Like I just see everything Japan can do… seen everything the allies can do… it is like really bad to be the allies. So I try to dice people to make it so I can win. Like wheatbear… I tried to dice him 6 times… so sad. Oh well. I think I lost that game… it is actually kind of even for some reason.
