Oof. Very good dice for the Soviets this turn:
Net Allies dice swing: +4.31 swing
Net Axis dice swing: -4.31 swing
This means the Soviets ended up with 4.31 more units than they would’ve had otherwise.

@superbattleshipyamato posted twice, my bad
It’s all right.
By the way I’m about to play a game of Global 1940. Would you like to share some of your strategies and openers for Germany and Italy? Thank you!
I forgot to move the British from India, so I edited them accordingly.

Please answer my question above (sorry if that sounded too confrontational or that you just didn’t have time to get to it yet).
@superbattleshipyamato I don’t really know how to answer that one via this format. I’ll try. I do the “standard” opener of killing france and knocking out the UK fleets. I buy three fighters on G1 and then focus on mechs and a few armors after that. I invade Russia on turn two or three depending on if I kill Yugoslavia (R3 attack) or if I am able to retreat those same forces into Romania (R2 attack). I have Italy scramble to defend against Toronto with a German fighter as well (making three fighters). Italy focuses on protecting the eastern sea zone after that by building ships although on the first turn i build a fighter. I have them take Crete to remove the British National Objective for a good while. I almost never attack moscow with Germany. I move adjacent to the capital and then stay there without attacking and usually send units south to get all the Axis NOs in the middle east and then the allies concede.
