Round: 7

Combat Move - French

triplea_38013_Fre7.tsvg

GG.  That start in the Pacific was devastating.  It was scary for the United States and ANZAC, but your fleet could easily be repositioned back to the Money Islands.  I will have to try that opening sometime.

There were a couple of rounds where Germany could have easily captured Egypt (G4 and G5, I recall).  Why did you decide not to launch the amphibious assault?  That would have been devastating for the Allies.  I was so scared that I opted not to build a factory there to prevent it from falling into your hands.

why concede? axis have income superiority and its only round 8. what am i missing

my take is that as long as axis have income superiority, they’re in the game. if u’re making more than your opponent, you don’t need an immediate path to victory.

100% agreed, regularkid.  Equal economies will favor the Axis.  The two things that are going to hurt the Axis is the inability to capture Egypt and the impending loss of Scandinavia.  One of the two could be surmounted, but the combination of both is tough.  I am glad that I played an aggressive Russia.

-Pete, I want to try out your initial Japan strat.  Should we switch sides and start a third balanced match?
