Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.
Hey, Leningrad will stand until G4, at LEAST, and that’s all factored in to the 400-500 formula.
Only 2 rounds in and I think I’m starting to adjust to the map
I’m surprised it’s just about 400, but you didn’t foolishly sacrifice a transport to get Normandy back, and that would have been a 60 IPC swing right there.
I’ve got big problems.
Another factor is J1 DOW,
With a J3 DOW I still wouldn’t have Philippines or Malaya or Hong Kong.  So you are actually definitely ahead even with just +400 right now
Man, I thought you were going to smoke the guys in North Africa.
Powerful position, though.
And I’m glad you’re investing in techs, not so much because you didn’t get 1, but because it would be a shame to have a tech game with no techs.

I didnt really consider that, mostly becasue of my fleet. It needs an air base protection
Malta! lol

yeah… i dont like that
Big adjustment back to OOB,
I’m glad UK and USSR (basically) can only get 1 NO, and the US has fewer, but the Chinese one is killing me.
I’m working on Italy, might be done soon

and i could not merge my fleet from red sea
That’s true - you might have still had enough defense though, I have no chance at all on 98.
But keeping me from evacuating 4 units from North Africa probably isn’t a big deal.

if you do that i am ok with it
Don’t miss the naked transport off Cyprus - it’s clear up on Greece.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
ANZAC rolls : 0.00
No tech this time either, but if you look at expected hits its 0,00, so I guess it makes sense then to stop develop techs? Fire all scientists and buy more bombs!
You have proved you really are a tech player.
3 with USA, 1 with ANZAC, I am happy, not just because you missed but because it would be really cool for ANZAC to have one.
Make sure you try with China - they don’t need another artillery, that’s for sure.
I’m not sure what my game plan is, I’m already feeling suffocated.
Do you want to start doing tokens here at the beginning of round 3? I’m just offering the option, I don’t really care either way.
NM, I don’t think I want to do tokens, actually. Benefits the allies too much, having more powers in play.
