@Jacob16 Sorry for the delayed response, I was on away for kids spring break the past week. Good game. The pacific fell apart when Japan didn’t defend their sea zone well enough early on, and the USA was able to wipe out a chunk of the Jap fleet. On the European side, I’m not sure exactly. With Russia retreating all 18 infantry from Asia back to Russia, Germany had little chance to take Russia quickly, so they need to get bonuses and build up more troop. I think Germany struggled because I was able to take out several fighters in a battles with UK and US. Then with Germany’s weakened air force I could spread out the Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets to harass more of Europe. Ultimately, with a bid of 50 and decent dice on turn one the Allies should be pretty tough to beat :-)

Thanks for the game. I’m wrapping up my other games and going to take a break for a bit.
