Anniversary gribble (Axis) vs CrazyIvan (Allies)

So, back to Japan, and my the force be with us, lol. 7:42 pm, 17th May.

They were 3/2, and I missed this in the rules, and didn’t catch it until I went back in game and redid Russia’s purchases, and sure enough, there it was. Heh heh, I really, really, really need to go over every unit/tech/rule so as not to get caught out again, lol.

Oh well, live and learn, and having a great time.:relaxed:

Ok, going in now…

Savegame

Ok, Britain is done, and in more ways than one, lol.

With her navy sunk, her airforce ineffective without ground troops, and India and Egypt is Axis hands, I cannot see any way this game comes out in anything other than an Axis victory, at least using the 1941 setup.

If you want to keep slugging this out, we can do that, but as far as I can see there is nothing a noob like me is going to be able to do to stem the Axis tide. There must be something I can do that would let the allies have a fighting chance, but I cannot see what that might be…

Up to you, continue this game, or start another, or maybe have you play the allies?

Let me know what you want to do. :)
