Now I surrender, go again? Would you like to switch sides this time? The Axis are too difficult for me.

@Ragnell804

I kept in mind the possibility of Japan getting heavy bombers, but I don’t think it will be that devastating. Moscow is way too strong and in none of my playtesting scenarios I was able to take it. I could bomb Russia to death but with the Germans confined to Berlin, the Allies greatly outproduce the Japanese.

The only thing I thought would keep me in the game is if the Germans got lucky and destroyed almost all of your tanks, then I get heavy bombers as Japan. In that case, it will be very difficult for you to hold Moscow without the help of those tanks.

@Ragnell804 Great, congratulations on your victory. You played very well. I am not going to play the Axis again until someone beats me with them. Have played several solo games and they all ended up in Allied wins. Will set up a new game shortly.
