Thank you for your patience for this move!
I assumed casualties for round 1 of the Sea of Japan attack, but I need to ask you for 2 more casualties - see file posted
Thanks, and it shouldn’t take me too long to finish through Russia 10 after that

Hindsight, 2 inf egypt rest bid to russia, pacific usa, bomber uk and inf india. Just gogogo.
If you have to take the allies that is what I recommend.
-
yeah Egypt was kind of lucky going my way, I think most times it doesn’t work on turn 1. but youre doing several other things different as well so I’m not sure its that one thing.

That is game. Losing 2 inf in west russia on top of egypt is enough to tilt the game too much for an already too strong axis. Cannot do europe anymore in this map as allies, they always lose. Got to just bomber uk, inf india, get usa in the pacific, turtle russia as long as possible. Allies start with hardly any ships and the seazones really suck for the atlantic, everything points to a pacific the way larry harris keeps wanting people to play. I only like to do kjf 1/5 games. Such a disappointing map, I realized this when I was axis that the allies just get crushed super easy.
I took a risk with only 1 inf egypt and the FIC thing, but that is because Japan gets india super fast otherwise.
-
If it weren’t for copyright laws I would totally print my own 1942 map, so much improvement can be done to keep the map fun. When I play the axis it is pretty sad too, it is like, okay my turn, nothing threatens me so I just crush you, your turn. I can see why this is the least played map, classic sees more play and that map has an infantry slug fest.
-
Are you conceding then?
I’m not sure I agree with your first statement. Allies played right can be killer. That said, Ive never seen Allies win with KGF. Unfortunately youre doing both KGF and KJP first, and that will not work. gotta stick with one.
-
If you lost egypt I would have punished that attempt hard :)
-
That is a game winning or losing battle right there. I could cruiser the japan trans dd, ship the carrier 2x fig to the bship or add bomber and use fig for FIC. Plus the income, every tiny bit so important for uk.
-
I did do KGF, The only KJF I did was a FIC attack. In revised FIC is standard if you dont have an egypt attack to do. The allies dont get to drop units as quickly into europe as revised or aa50.
-
When the allies get nerfed about 100 ipc and seazone changes… you need luck for the allies and that is what I was hoping for.
