15L G40 Balladeer (Axis) vs Variance (Allies +14)

@variance:

I wasn’t cheating, sigh.   :roll: 
I thought I bought it and then failed to place it when I clicked through to France’s turn by mistake.  Just doin too much at once.  Sorry for that.

The Gibralter guys came off the US transports.

I understand it ain’t cheating, but could be explained like that. And yea, I got that, weird that the transports work so bad ^^

Out-produced on all fronts, Allies will inevitably lose.  I could bounce fighters around for a few turns but its hopeless.  I am going to call this one and post it.  GG balladeer.

GG and thanks for playing. It’s kinda tough on the European front to keep it all together right now, but the Japanse are growing so fast they’ll be able to help in middle east / africa soon, so I agree, it’s (too) tough for the allies. Thanks for playing, was a nice game!
