Description: usa went africa while uk was bleeding of german troops. russian never real danger. japan dice first 2 turns real bad… lost 6 planes, couldnt take phillipines :x. this lost him 2 turns to get to africa basically. but allied player was very worried about his fleet and axis gained 2 turns in exchange for 2 unsinkable uk/us fleets by air…
by the time jap fleet reached med ( just in time to stop us taking italy) uk/us troops landed nwe, creating a stalemate in westeurope. if russia could have pushed west, allied victory would have been sure, but a combined ger/jap tank force in and around caucasus held a stalemate there too.
since allied were not strong enough to take out germany a long fight for africa was ahead.
Observations/Recommendations: in the long run japan probably would have got too strong.
axis got a bit lucky with allied logistics. definatly gained time here. considering the aweful dice j1/j2 it evens out.
at 3 in the morning we ended it.
