Aren’t you from Europe?  Surprised to see your post
Yep, you got your 22% and hit me twice, and you got your 22% again and I missed twice.  That’s a nice 4%er for you there.  :-(

Wow - that IS early!

@Gamerman01:

One of the things I love about Allies in this version is the USA can air strike Japan units in China and every hit makes a Chinaman pop up…. Though I don’t think I’ve even pulled that off yet.  Man, just imagine some US bombers and fighters in East Asia… havoc

Yes, I’ve used that tactic (and had it used on me) in a few games. Is fun. Creates a new “Flying Tigers” dynamic. Its not something I would go out of my way to do, but if you happen to have some US air withiin striking distance, and an opportunity presents itself to really help China, then absolutely.

@nerquen:

Italy is becoming a monster, more income than either Russia or UK… and they bite your Russian bear a lot (9 IPC stolen from Russia)

Out of control
9 if I take back the Caucasus, if you count 2 taken away by NO
You’d better stay on your toes

If Axis aren’t feeling great after round 5, they’re probably in big trouble  :-D

Very interesting buy….
Lot of weasels would have built a complex in Iraq and put 3 fast ground units in Egypt I think
