OK Harry, ich habe es so richtig verkackt. Wenn Deutschland sich in Runde 6 zurückziehen muss und Japan nicht gleichzeitig ein Riese ist, ist das Schicksal zwangsläufig.

Ein großer Fehler war der späte Angriff auf Russland mit der Folge, dass Deutschlands Einkommen zu lange viel zu gering war und gleichzeitig Russlands zu hoch. Und wenn dann noch Kill Germany First kommt, wird es schwierig. Viel Erfolg bei Deinen nächsten Partien - ich mache mal wieder eine Pause.

I see no point in drawing this out. Nicely played

A couple of considerations. I think J1 is really hard to do with the current set up, so that is probably something to consider for future games. It looks like a J1 will leave china for china (with the extra chinese set up power). I have not studied it carefully so I can be wrong

As for bids. Bids depend on so many things and I think maybe the game was not designed for online play with battle calculator? My friend and I never use bid when we play face to face. Instead we use beer and wine. In addition we dont use battle calculator either so all “calculations” are just a best guess. With these limitations it is very possible for the allies to win this game with the OOB set-up

@surfer hello I hope you had a great holiday season! I can’t commit to this at this time so I will concede. Congrats!
