Is it time to call this a game, and flip sides?  That bad dice rolls for two rounds near Moscow was a killer for the Axis.  With Italy gone and Japan off the mainland, I don’t see a way to withstand the US economy backed up with Russian infantry.

Changing build to 2 bombers and a sub.

Scrambles, Sir?

Honor to your nick:D

It was a good game.  I made a bunch of mistakes but the weakness of Japan allowed me to focus 100% in Europe.  What is the thinking on J1 in balance mode games?  Definitely J3 allows India to become too strong.

I just hate all of that money if the Allies have the money islands for 3 full turns.  That sounds ridiculous to do a J4…  anyway, scrambles Sir?

How come I always have such bad luck to start these matches.  That was crazy!

The main gamble was splitting the subs to go after the DD+transport and the Cruiser.  Normally the other fights work out well even with a scramble.
