@simon33 said in Karl7 (Allies+18) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM4:
I’m not sure about this game now. Looks like getting enough troops onto China is going to be an insurmountable problem and European Axis have taken some hits. Might have a think about it. You look like holding the Burma Rd at least for a while which worries me greatly. I will have another look at it in the morning.
understood. yeah, this game has been one of trading big stacks… probably not advantageous for Axis in long run if Allies can keep their money up
Not quite ready to concede this one though.

I’m in two minds about whether to continue this game. Firstly I think that USA will probably take out Rome soon enough if the Germans don’t help, but they can. Although losing 4/5 bombers in their first bombing raid has been a major hurdle.
In Japan, I’m not convinced that naval attack was ill advised although losing all the CVs in the first round was. What was a debacle was that Yunnan attack from Britain, only 7TUV (luckily) but that you could then secure the Burma Rd was just awful for Japan.
Understood. Axis has option of dive into the middle east ?

A possibility. Looks like I can push you off NW Persia which would likely mean I can get Persia. Trouble then would be that I think a retreat to Egypt would be able to hold it, perhaps needing to be combined with some US troops from Greece. Perhaps I could retake Greece under that scenario although I think by now USSR will be a serious threat to Germany.
gg, you might need to post this next year because I don’t think I will remember.
cool, GG.
