16L G40 nerquen (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies) Balanced mode (-4 allied NOs)

Russians NO’s are pretty annoying also… if Germany does not pay attention it is easily an extra +7 IPC/turn for Russia… which is huge… so from the very beginning I thought Germany has to invest fully in land units, no fancy naval or bomber purchases… also I tried a late DOW to minimize the time Russia gets those extra NO’s money, still Russia looks super strong…

now UK/USA starts to be pretty annoying in Atlantic… not sure how long will I be able to  fend them off

Please 1 small non-combat edit (shall not interfere with your Russian planning) 1 mech from W Germany into Northern Italy.  Hope it is fine. cheers

man, Japan is tough… attacked wild on all fronts, enemies’ income is just no match to mine, annoying Siberians … you were probably right I should have cleared them last turn, at least I would have 1 front less to care about…

ok… lets see if those new Japanese marines are any good, I am going to buy some, hope they fight like gods…

that did not go as expected… actually a big mistake to press that Burma battle once my infantry died… well everyone learns from his mistakes…

Man I have been waiting for an actual mistake all game  :-)
Now to look at your move and see what happened……

I just felt too cocky in that battle (or too desperate),

Man, Allies are just dominating on all fronts, Japan’s economy is a joke now, not sure what went wrong in the game, I have been trying hard to negate most of the new NO’s to bring it as close to OOB as possible, still this is very different experience to OOB(+bid) game. I am still enjoying the onslaught here. New china is huge actually, how naive I was thinking, like nah I simply leave 1 inf behind everywhere… did not realize how much is Japan missing that infantry on the front…
