So I see you dont want to fall for the Schlieffen Plan trap in Barbarosa?

Here is the file. Whats the status on the 2 unplaced art?

Ok…. but remember, No cheating allowed

You know… I really didnt have a KJF strategy… I just kept playing even though SeaLion depressed the hell out of me. I’ve never played a full game on the receiving end of such punishment. Fighting without England is kind of Demoralizing and I thought you were driving deep into Russia next. Thats why I foolishly retreated at one point.

Out of curiosity, what do you believe where some of Germany’s mistakes?

Its hard to save those German transports especially with a J1. Without a J1 the US has to use all air which makes it expensive for them.
I looked back on the Pacific side too and saw again how you had some bad luck with the dice trying to take the Islands. But I was also surprised that you kept the Imperial Navy down south, which allowed me to keep funneling US troops up to Siberia.

Yah, i like taking the US to Russia as a distraction for Japan. Slows them down in the South. The bonus, of course is getting Korea. How are we playing this next game?
