@ShadowHAwk:

BTW for all the readers, according to everybody on this forum i should lose this match from the start and i have absolutely 0 chance of winning this game.

As im playing allies without a bid and with the standard 2nd edition rules.

OK ShadowHAwk. I guess that is it for me. Your last move with Russia puts me in a hopeless situation. If I take Bryansk with Germany you will strafe me and position in Russia, If I dont’ you will take Novgorod. Either way it is catch 22!

All right, I am completely outplayed by you and there is no point in continuing this «humiliation»! For me this was a solid wake up call and I am really puzzled how little I got accomplished, especially with Germany as they were left to do their own things all the time.

I bow to your excellent gameplay and you proved me wrong, or at least you prove you are a much better player than I am. I will have to look at this and pick up some good hints!

@Arthur:

The more I look at the board, the more I am convinced that the Axis should have an easy victory.Â

If you think I still have a chance I might keep it going for a few more rounds…… But I think this looks like a lost case

After sleeping on it I can post Japan this afternoon. But in any case I need to figurte out something clever with germany……There are definately things to be learned here!

I insist that harris keeps his mouth shut about the euro board. Not fair having 3 players VS 1 and i dont even have a bid :)

No offence Harris but you keep giving him good advice and that is against my best intrest :)

I agree, no 3 vs 1 player. As far as I know I think ABH has not hinted on anything on what I should do, he was not agreeing with  the manchuria thing but that is all. He has said he thinks it is not over. Which I think is fair. It also looks like other players agree with him and that encourages me to try a little longer

Great stuff. The Japanese has had some sushi and sake over the last couple of days so expect the unexpected
