Thanks ABH. Yes Colt it was fun and even exciting at times. The Axis pulled it out of the fire just in time, and then it went up in smoke. Ger built 15 inf in Ger & W.Ger. this round. Perhaps the unlikely chance of the allies taking Paris or W. Ger, or Ger with Bri alone, forced you to think more creatively. Building up in Norm was a possibility, but the return of the Ger planes made that risky also. I was on the verge of a resurgent Ger. I could have built a full compliment of ground troops in Mos and Rus could not reinforce its army. Jpn stabilized its position in China, outnumbering the allies in China and no flying tiger or new art for now. Italy was on the verge of breaking out. I would have liked to see how that turned out. Ita would have built a sub in sz81 to take away UK Pac N.O. Jpn built 3 subs & a dd this past turn and the sub in sz5 was freed from convoy blockage. So Jpn was catching up to the big US sub.

I looked at the situation and thought that it might be fun to see how I could counterattack in the short term. The loss of the US planes during the attack on Berlin and the loss of the US troops attacking Hol/Bel and the upcoming loss of the Bri tt’s will temporarily allow Ger to regroup. I will take my turn tomorrow.

Let’s move on to trade sides in a new Global Bal Mod. You can set it up as Axis. So now that you’ve played a 12 turn game, what do you think of Bal Mod vs bid Global?
-
I still prefer G40 but maybe being Axis can change my mind. I havent looked to see what changes there are but we can upgrade to BM3 for this one.

Hey, no fair. :-) Just when we trade sides, Bal Mod 3.3 says Allies were favored in Mod 2, so they changed N.O.s so that it’s more balanced, i.e., changes favor Axis. Rus doesn’t get convoy N.O.s until R3 if you decide to attack earlier. And Jpn gets a new 3 P.U. N.O. for Okinawa and Iwo when at war with U.S. That’s a given. I hadn’t heard about the upgrade until you mentioned it. I upgraded my map, so 3.3 is it.
